WARNING: BE SURE to read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
WORKAREA SAFETY
1. ALWAYS keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presenceof flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. ALWAYS keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. ALWAYS stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating apower tool. DO NOT use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. ALWAYS dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull back
long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. ALWAYS avoid accidental starting. BE SURE switch is in the "Off" position
before plugging in. DO NOT carry tools with your finger on the switch. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch in the
"On" position invites accidents.
4. ALWAYS remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
5. DO NOT overreach. ALWAYS keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
1. ALWAYS use a splash hood in every operation in which itcan be used.
2. DO NOT directly wash the bottom of the motor.
3. DO NOT force the material being cut. ALWAYS let the blade cut.at its own speed.
4. DO NOT force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it.is designed.
5.-ALWAYS be sure that you are using the correct blade for the job you are doing.
6. ALWAYS disconnect the saw BEFORE servicing, changing cutting wheels and
cleaning
7. BE SURE the cutting edges are smooth and free of opening and grooves
BEFORE using this tool.
8. ALWAYS replace damaged cutting wheels BEFORE using.
9. ALWAYS use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to astable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
10. DO NOT use the tool if the switch does not turn it "On" or "Off". Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
11. ALWAYS disconnect the plug from the power source before making

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
IMPORTANT" We recommend using a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
protected receptacle because the blade of this saw is used in close proximity to water.
1. This tile saw is equipped with a 3-prong electrical plug. DO NOT alter the plug or
use a 2-prong receptacle.
2. The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the outlet you are planning to use.
3. Your local electrical code may require slightly different power cord plug
connections. If These Differences Exist, refer to and make the proper
adjustments per your local code BEFORE your tool is plugged in and turned on.
4. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
5. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug, as shown in Figure 1. The plug must be plugged
into a GFCI protected matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances
6. DO NOT modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
7. Atemporary GFCI protected adapter may be used to connect this plug to a
2-prong outlet, if aproperly grounded 3-prong outlet is not available.
8. This temporary adapter Should Be Used Only Until a properly grounded
3-prong outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
9. The green-colored (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding
conductor and must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly
grounded outlet box:
10. Improper connecUon of the equipment-grounding adapter can result In a
risk of electrical shock.
11ill repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect
the equipment-grounding adapter to a live terminal.
12. If you do not fully understand the grounding Instructions, or If you are In
doubt as to whether the tool Is properly grounded, check with a qualified
electrician or service person.
13. ONLY USE 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that will accept the tool's plug.
14. ALWAYS repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. ALWAYS avoid the possibility of getting the plug or receptacle wet.
See Positioning the Saw on page 6.
16. ONLY USE UL Listed extension cords with this product. Other extension cords
may not supply sufficient power causing the tool to overheat. BE SURE that the
extension cord you use will supply sufficient power to the tool.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
WARNING: If not properly grounded and GFCI protected this tool can
cause an electrical shock, particularly when used in damp locations, in
proximity to plumbing, or out of doors. If an electrical shock occurs there is
the potential of a secondary hazard, such as your hands contacting the
saw blade.
5

EXTENSIONCORDS
ALWAYSperiodicallyinspecttool cord andextensioncordsfor damage. Have
damaged tool cord repaired at a Sears Service Center. Discard damaged extension
cords. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location and keep itwell away
from the moving blade.
ALWAYS use the proper extension cord, and MAKE SURE the cord is in good
condition. ONLY USE a cord that is heavy enough to carry the current your tool will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a current drop in line voltage resulting in a loss
of power and overheating. Awire gauge size AWG (American Wire Gauge) of at least
18 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the
next heavier size. Smaller gauge wires, have greater capacity (14 gauge wire has
more capacity than 16 gauge wire).
DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, ALWAYS use an outdoor extension cord
marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
