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 ordinances.
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 connect
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.
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.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable 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.

**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
“Acceptable 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 damaged cord since touching the damaged area
could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury.

8 — English
ELECTRICAL
If the saw is used with an extension cord, ensure the
connection 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 Figures 2 and 3.
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.

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 THE CUTTING WHEEL
See Figures 24 and 25.
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.
Move the sliding table and frame to the front of the saw.

ASSEMBLY
Remove the outer washer.
Slide the cutting wheel onto spindle.
NOTE: Two water nozzles come installed on this product. Be
sure to install cutting wheel so that there is a water nozzle on
each side of cutting wheel with water ports facing the cutting
wheel. The outer water nozzle can be easily removed for
installation of cutting wheel. Check that outer nozzle outlet
hole has been reattached with water port facing toward the
cutting wheel.
WARNING:
If the inner 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.
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.
