WORK AREA 1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY 1.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents. 4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. 8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. SERVICE 1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.) 3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like that in the following illustration.
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. 7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 1. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use the Tile Saw in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. 2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Tile Saw. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. 3.
13. Do not use the Tile Saw for cutting metals or for cutting curves. This may cause the Saw Blade to break and/or reduce its service life. 14. Make sure the Saw Blade is wet at all times when cutting. 15. Keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground. 16. Use cold water only. Never use hot water. Using hot water can damage the Pump seals. 17. Never run the Tile Saw without a water supply. Running the unit without a water supply will cause irreparable damage to the Pump, Motor, or Blade.
28. Turn off the Tile Saw and allow the Saw Blade to stop on its own if the Saw Blade is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut. 29. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the Tile Saw while it is plugged in or running. 30. When cutting a large workpiece make sure its entire length is properly supported. 31. Never stand on the Tile Saw. Serious injury can result if the Tile Saw is tipped or if the rotating Saw Blade is accidently contacted. 32.
