Additional Safety Rules for Wet Tile Saw
CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearingloss.
CAUTION: Do not connect unit to electrical
power source until complete instructions are read
andunderstood.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriateconditions.
• Keep hands out of path of saw blade. NEVER CUT A
PIECE WHERE HAND WOULD BE 3" (76mm) OR LESS
FROMBLADE.
• Do not perform any operation freehand, that is without
holding the workpiece firmly against the fence or
edgeguide.
• Never reach in back of theblade.
• DON’T - Cut dry. If blade is not cooled with water, serious
damage will occur. Dry cutting will increase exposure to
harmful airbornedust.
• Turn off the tool and wait for blade to stop before moving
the workpiece or changingsettings.
• To reduce risk of injury, return the cart to the full rear
position after eachcut.
• DO - Make certain the blade rotates in the correct direction
as indicated by the arrow on theblade.
• DO - Always use the splashhood.
• DO - Be sure all clamp handles and knobs are tight before
starting anyoperation.
• DO - Be sure all blade and clamp washers are clean and
recessed sides of collars are against blade. Tighten arbor
nutsecurely.
• DO - Keep the blade properlyaligned.
• DO - Keep the motor air slots free of chips anddirt.
• DO – Always empty water from the reservoir and remove
the battery pack before transporting. Water can splash
into electrical components.
• DO - Keep hands out of the path of the sawblade.
• DON’T - Attempt to operate on anything but designated
voltage. Incorrect voltage may result in shock, fire, or
unpredictableoperation.
• DON’T - Use blades larger or smaller than those which
arerecommended.
• DON’T - Force cutting action. Allow motor to reach full
speed before cutting. Stalling or partial stalling of motor
can cause majordamage.

Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. 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.
