outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
FIGURE 2 (A)
. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in
FIGURE 2 (A)
. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in
FIGURE 2 (B) AND
(C)
, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
FIGURE 2 (B)
if a properly grounded
outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid prongs extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
PERSONAL INJURY CAN OCCUR IF OPERATED IMPROPERLY.
•
Keep fingers and loose clothing away from rotating blade.
•
Use extreme caution when cutting tile. Make sure hands and fingers are clear from the blade groove in the
sliding table. Severe abrasion, cuts , or pinching of hands or fingers can occur as the table is advanced,
particulary at the end of its travel.
•
Electrical shock can occur if operating instructions are not followed.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING SAW.
•
Wear eye protection.
•
Use splash hood for every operation for which it can be used.
•
Unplug saw before servicing, when changing cutting wheels, and cleaning.
•
Use tool only with smooth-edge cutting wheels free of openings and grooves.
•
Replace damaged cutting wheel before operating.
•
Do not fill water tray above water fill line.
EXTENSION CORDS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION, KEEP ALL CONNECTIONS DRY AND OFF THE GOUND. DO NOT TOUCH PLUG
WITH WET HANDS.
1. Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a
marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances: store indoors while not in use.” Use only extension
cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension
cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cords and do
not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the
extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
2. Gound Fault circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used
for the tile saw. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure
of safety.
3.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss power and overheating.
TABLE 1
below
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.
NOTE:
When using an extension cord, ensure all cords are no smaller than #12 gauge, rated at a 20-amp
minimum, and equipped with 3-prong plugs. Use of anything smaller may result in overheating or burn out of
