SAFETY INFORMATION
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
• Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• A cutting disc can cause injuries, even when stationary! Use protective gloves to change the cutting
disc.
• NEVER use lateral counter pressure to bring the cutting disc to a standstill after switching off the drive.
• Replace table insert when worn.
• Use only diamond discs recommended by the manufacturer.
• NEVER use blades on this machine.
• Use only diamond discs for which the maximum possible speed is not less than the maximum spindle
speed of the tool and the material to be cut.
• Maximum size of working piece should be 10 sq. ft.
• This tile saw should be used at an ambient temperature between 59-80°F (15-50°C).
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. The chart
on Page
10 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
• ALWAYS store the product in a dry place.
• Store the product in a frost-free place.
• Protect the product from damage during transport.
• Keep the product away from children. Store the product in a place where it is safe from children and
unauthorized persons.

instructions, the following residual risks can arise:
• Touching the cutting disc in the exposed area.

• Cutting disc breaks.
• Faulty cutting disc diamond attachment being flung out.
• Hearing damage through failure to wear the requisite hearing protection.
WARNING
For your own safety, read instruction manual before operating saw.
• Wear eye protection.
• Use splash guard for every operation for which it can be used.
