USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or attachment to
do a job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose
not intended.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extensioncordis ingood condition.Use onlya cordheavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size
(A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension
cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught and draw you
into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear
(rubber soled boots) are recommended when working
outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.

ELECTRICAL
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC
only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate
this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the
saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double
check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 4,000 rpm.
This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or
with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as
important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended
only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire
that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for
a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool
may not be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
See Figure 1.
This tool must be grounded. 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 ordi-
nances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
Improper installation of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or
replacement of the cord is required, do not con-
nect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.
The wire with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and
has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in
figure 1. Only connect the product to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with
this product.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only extension cords with twist-lock connectors that
accept the tool’s plug. When using a power tool at a con-
siderable distance from the power source, use an extension
cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will
draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor
to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
**Ampere rating (on tool data plate)
0-2.0 2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
Always use an extension cord that is designed for outside
use. This is indicated by the letters “W-A” or “W” on the
cord’s jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use.
These extension cords are identified by a marking “Accept-
able for use with outdoor appliances; 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. 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.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use tool with a dam-
aged cord since touching the damaged area could
cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

8 — English
ELECTRICAL
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tile
saw. Outlets are available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of safety.
If the saw is used with an extension cord, ensure the con-
nection of the tool’s power cord and the extension cord are
not on the ground.
If a protected outlet is not available, do not use the saw
until an outlet can be changed or auxiliary protection can
be obtained. These auxiliary protection devices are available
at your local retailer.
POSITION OF THE TILE SAW
See Figure 2.
To avoid the possibility of the tool plug or outlet getting
wet, position tile saw to one side of a wall-mounted outlet
to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet or plug. The
operator should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord connecting
the saw to the outlet. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord
below the level of the outlet, or the connector if an extension
cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and
coming in contact with the outlet.
If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord.
Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power
to the tool then unplug and examine for the presence of
water in the outlet.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all
connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch
the plug with wet hands.

ASSEMBLY
TILE CUTTING WHEEL
For maximum performance and safety, it is recommended
that you use the 10 in. cutting wheel provided with your
saw. Additional cutting wheels of the same high quality are
available at your local dealer.
WARNING:
Do not use cutting wheels rated less than the no
load speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning
could result in personal injury. Do not use wheel
with cracks, gaps, or teeth.
WARNING:
To prevent possible electrical hazards, have a
qualified electrician check the line if you are not
certain that it is properly wired.
INSTALLING TILE CUTTING WHEEL
See Figures 19 - 20.
WARNING:
A 10 in. tile cutting wheel is the maximum wheel
capacity of the saw. Never use a wheel that is too
thick to allow wheel washer to engage with the
flats on the spindle. Larger wheels will come in
contact with the wheel guard, while thicker wheels
will prevent the wheel nut from securing the wheel
on the spindle. Either of these situations could
result in a serious accident and can cause serious
personal injury.
Unplug the saw.
Turn the wheel guard lock counterclockwise to unlock.
Pull the wheel guard open to expose the spindle.
Using the wheel wrench provided, remove the wheel nut.
Release the spindle lock button.
Remove the outer washer.
Slide the cutting wheel onto spindle.
WARNING:
If the washer has been removed, replace it before
placing wheel on spindle. Failure to do so could
cause an accident since the wheel will not tighten
properly. Never use wheels that have openings,
grooves, or teeth on this tool.
Wipe a drop of oil onto the washer where it contacts the
cutting wheel.

ASSEMBLY
Place an outer washer onto the spindle. The double “D”
flats on the washer align with the flats on the spindle. Be
sure the hollow side of the washer is against the cutting
wheel.
Place wheel nut on spindle.
Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the cutting
wheel until the spindle locks.
Using the wheel wrench provided, tighten nut securely.
Release the spindle lock button.
Close and lock the wheel guard.
ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE
See Figure 21.
DANGER:
Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact with light
source.
WARNING:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Draw a line on the tile. When the laser guide switch is turned
on it will generate a red line on the work surface. This line will
let you see your mark and the laser guide line at the same
time, and will assist you in lining up the mark for more ac-
curate cutting of the tile.
Align the laser line and the mark with the wheel in the
cutting position using the laser adjustment dial. Once both
lines are in alignment, do not move the tile.
Make several practice cuts on different styles and thickness
of material. Repeat the steps above as necessary.
Follow the directions below for using the laser guide:
Removing Your Mark:
Position the laser line near the left edge of your mark on the
work surface in order to remove the mark.
To Cut Your Mark:
Position the laser line near or over your mark on the work
surface in order to cut the mark.
To Leave Your Mark:
Position the laser line near the right edge of your mark on
the work surface in order to leave the mark.
After you have become familiar with using the laser guide,
you will be able to remove, cut, or leave your mark on the
work surface. Practice will teach you the correct position for
aligning the laser line with your mark.
