GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
•In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resist-
ance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
•Do not modify the plug provided -if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
• Improperconnectionoftheequipment-groundingconductorcanresultinariskofelec-
tric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conducto_ If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary do not connect the equipment-grounding con-
ductor to a live terminal.
•Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or ff in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
• Repair or replace damaged or wom cord immediately
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The
tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper
grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. Ifyour
unit is intended for use on less than 150 V,it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch
a. If it is for use on 150 to 250 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch d. An
adapter, sketches b and c, is available for connecting sketch A type plugs to 2-prong recep-
tacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, orthe like, extending from the adapter must be con-
nected to a permanent ground, such as aproperly grounded outlet box. No adapter is avail-
able for a plug as shown in sketch d.ADAPTER SHOWN IN SKETCHES B and C IS NOT

L-CUTS
An L-cut is a section that is removed from of a piece of tile
and is used when cutting a piece of tile to fit in a corner of
a cabinet or piece of trim molding.
1. Outline the area to be cut on both sides of the tile.
2. Align the tile to the cutting cart fence and make the cut
far enough into the tile without overcutting.
3. Make a cut on the other mark on the tile without over-
cutting.
4. Turn the tile over and make the cut along one of the
outlines, but this time an overcut can occur without
damaging the exposed surface of the tile due to the
radius of the cutting wheel. Overcut the other line and
the cut piece should be separate from the rest of the
tile.
5. Turn off the saw.
PLUNGE CUTS
Plunge cuts are utilized when removing the center of a
piece of tile for electrical outlets and for making cuts for air
conditioner registers.
