GENERAL & SPECIFIC

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that

specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that for the specified tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the

user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate is

harmful to the motor.

1. KNOW YOUR TOOL. Read and understand the owners manual

and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its application and limitations

as well as its specific potential hazards.

2. GROUND THE TOOL. This tool is equipped with an approved 3-

conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper

grounding type receptacle. The green conductor in the cord is the

grounding wire. NEVER connect the green wire to a live terminal.

3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE. Keep in good working order, properly

adjusted and aligned.

4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of

checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: For your own safely, turn switch "OFF" and remove plug from power source outlet before adjusting, maintaining, or lubricating your

tile saw.

WARNING: To avoid electrocution or fire, any repair to electrical system should be done by qualified service technicians. Unit must be reassembled

exactly to factory specifications.

LUBRICATION

The ball bearings in this machine are packed with grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication. All other moving parts should be

sprayed with a liquid lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Before each use

1. Check the power cord for any damage.

2. Check blade for damage or wear.

3. Check all guards and hardware to make sure they are secure.

4. Check all moving parts for alignment and binding issues.

After each use

Immediately clean the water pump to keep dried debris from sticking to the filter and impeller which will obstruct the water flow. To clean the water

pump, remove the outer cover. Remove the filter. Then, remove the inner cover to expose the impeller. Use a small brush and clean water to

remove any debris on the filter and impeller. If necessary, replace the old filter.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

• If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.

• Using a dull blade will cause excessive wear on the motor, and will not produce a satisfactory cut. Replace with a new blade when needed.

• Clean exterior parts, only use a clean cloth and mild detergent to clean the body of the tile saw. Use a wet/dry vacuum or compressed air to clean

the motor ventilation slots.

• Empty all water from water tray before storing. Ice crystals will damage the pump if the unit contains water in freezing temperatures. Store the

tile saw indoors in a dry, frost-free area.
