MK-100 TILE SAW                                                                                         SAFETY    

WARNING

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. A Ground Fault 

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for this 

machine. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protections and may be used for this 

measure of safety. When using an extension cord, GFCI should be installed closest to the power 

source, followed by the extension cord and lastly, the machine.

The water pump requires a GFCI. To reduce risk of electrical shock when operating the machine 

with the pump plugged into the 3-pole receptacle on the motor, connect the machine to a GFCI 

outlet. See the pump manual and informational tags enclosed separately for all pump information.

For maintenance care and operation of the electric motor, refer to your electric motor instruction book-

let furnished with the electric motor. Protect the electric motor from dust as much as possible and keep 

ventilating openings clean. Before plugging in the machine, make sure that the outlet voltage is within 

the voltage marked on the machines's data plate.

DO NOT spray water on the electric motor. DO NOT touch the plug with wet hands. To reduce 

the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.

WARNING

If operating the equipment in damp locations is unavoidable, ALWAYS use a Ground Fault 

Circuit Interrupter, ALWAYS wear rubber gloves and footwear in damp conditions.

DO NOT abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the equipment or to pull the plug from 

the outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, sharp edges, and moving parts. Replace dam-

aged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
