Intended Use
This wet tile saw is designed for professional cutting a variety of natural stone and porcelain
tiles and other tile typeapplications.
DO NOT cut wood, metal orplastic.
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids orgases.
DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required when
inexperienced operators use thistool.
• Always plug saw and pump into a GFCIreceptacle.
• Always plug extension cord into a GFCIreceptacle.
• Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are
identified by a marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliance; store indoors while
not in use.”
• Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of theproduct.
• Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace
ifdamaged.
• Do not abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord todisconnect.
• Keep cord away from heat and sharpedges.
• Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the
product from the extensioncord.

Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury
couldresult.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also
use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. ALL USERS AND BYSTANDERS MUST ALWAYS
WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicalsare:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopicparticles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmfulchemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face andbody.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearingloss.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in movingparts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that
is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to
make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum
wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge
number, the heavier thecord.

• DON’T - Use cutting wheels rated less than 5000 R.P.M.
• DON’T - Place hands closer than 3" (76 mm) from the cuttingwheel.
• DON’T - Reach behind or underneath the saw unless it is turned off andunplugged.
• DON’T - Move either hand from saw or workpiece until the cutting wheel hasstopped.
• SECURE WORK. Always place tile flat on cart and securely againstfence.
• NEVER USE A PAN HEATER OR OTHER HEAT SOURCE FOR HEATING WATER. Damage to the
tool, fire or personal injury could result."
• If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit
breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in
thereceptacle.
