GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
110-120 V~ Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
1. 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. 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.
2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded.
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
WARNING
To prevent electric shock and death from incorrect grounding wire
connection read and follow these instructions:
7. This tool is intended for use on a
circuit that has an outlet that looks
like the one illustrated above in
Figure A: 125 V~ 3-Prong Plug
and Outlet. The tool has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated
above in Figure A: 125 V~ 3-Prong
Plug and Outlet.
8. The outlet must be properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances.
9. Do not use an adapter to connect this
tool to a different outlet.

TILE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
1. For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating Saw
2. Wear eye protection.
3. Use saw-blade guard and spreader for every operation for which it can be
used, including all through sawing.
4. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.
5. Use an appropriate push-stick when required.
6. Know how to reduce risk of kickback.
7. Do not perform any operation freehand.
8. Never reach around or over saw blade.
9. Make sure the workpiece is supported at all times while sawing. Use a
roller stand (not provided) with larger workpieces if necessary.
10. To properly understand all safety warnings, be familiar with the following
safety terms and equipment:
a. Featherboard – A block with “fingers” that hold the workpiece against the
fence while sawing.
b. Through-sawing – A cut made from one side of a tile to the opposite side,
without stopping.
c. Push-stick – A narrow strip of wood or other soft material with a notch cut
into one end and which is used to push short pieces of material through
saws. It provides a safe distance between the hands and the cutting tool.
Must be narrower than the cut width to prevent contact with the blade.
d. Freehand – Feeding a workpiece through the saw without using a fence or
guided support to guide it. NOT A SAFE METHOD.
e. Kerf – The gap made by the saw in the workpiece.
f. Kickback – A sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned blade,
causing an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and out of the saw toward
the operator.
g. Spreader – A metal plate that follows the saw blade to keep the kerf (gap)
from closing on the saw blade. Spreaders, except riving knives, must be
aligned to the blade after blade adjustment to prevent binding.
h. Riving Knife – A spreader mounted on the same mechanism as the blade.
Generally more effective than simple spreaders.

TILE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
11. As noted previously, Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or
misaligned blade, causing an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and out of the
saw toward the operator. Kickback is usually a result of tool misuse and can
be limited or avoided by following the precautions below:
• Fence must be completely parallel to the saw blade.
• Workpiece must be free from flaws and from foreign objects
(such as nails and screws).
• Support large workpieces along their entire length. Large workpieces tend
to bend, grabbing the blade.
• Do not use a dull or damaged blade.
• Maintain control of the workpiece. Do not allow the workpiece to rest against
the moving blade without holding onto it.
• If the blade binds or a cut is interrupted, turn off the power switch and hold
the workpiece still until the blade stops. Correct the cause of blade binding
before proceeding.
• Before continuing an unfinished cut, center the blade in the pre-cut kerf and
check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the workpiece before turning
on the saw.
• Push the workpiece past the blade prior to release.
12. Check the guard for proper operation with saw disconnected from power
before each use. Do not disable any guard. Do not operate saw if any
movable guard does not move freely and close instantly. Make sure any
movable guard does not touch the blade in all angles, depths of cut,
and positions.
13. Keep the guard in place while through-sawing. Verify that the spreader lines
up with the blade to prevent binding.
14. Construct an appropriate Push Stick out of wood according to the guidelines
on the following page.
15. DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY GUARD DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR
REMOVED. Moving guards must move freely and close instantly.
16. The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons.
17. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
18. Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate
standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate
protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing protection
must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in the work area.

TILE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
POSITION OF TILE SAW
19. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
20. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
21. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
22. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
23. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
1. To avoid the possibility of the tool plug or
receptacle getting wet, position tile saw to
one side of a wall mounted receptacle to
prevent water from dripping onto the
receptacle or plug. The user should arrange
a “drip loop” in the cord connecting the saw
to a receptacle. The “drip loop” is that part
of the cord below the level of the receptacle,
or the connector if an extension cord is used,
to prevent water traveling along the cord
and coming in contact with the receptacle.
2. 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 the receptacle.
3. If an extension cord is used, the drip loop
must be before the cord connection and
the extension cord connection must be
placed on an elevated surface.
4. Use only extension cords that are intended
for outdoor use. These extension cords
are identified by a marking “Acceptable for
use with outdoor tools; store indoors while
not in use.” Use only extension cords
having an electrical rating not less than
the rating of the product. Do not use
damaged extension cords.

POSITION OF TILE SAW
Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse
extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away
from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the
receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
5. WARNING – To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and
off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
6. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tile saw. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
7. 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 chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
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 microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
8. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a
chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (California Health &
Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
9. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It
must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the
operator.
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and
shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be
examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant
women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand
injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should
not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek
medical advice as soon as possible.
