ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
• CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET. This tool must be connected to a grounded power source while
in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce
the risk of electrical shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having 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.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation that is green on the outside (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 live
terminal.
• 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.
• 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 worn cord immediately.
• To avoid the possibility of the appliance 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 from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the
receptacle.
• 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.
• Only UL-listed extension cords should be used with this product.
• Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your tool, which can result in overheating. Be sure
your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. For the proper gauge for your tool, please see
chart.
• Do not let your fingers touch the terminals of plug when installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
• If not properly grounded, this power tool can incur the potential hazard of electrical shock particularly when used in
damp locations or in proximity to plumbing. If an electrical shock occurs, there is the potential of a secondary hazard,
such as your hands contacting the grinder tool.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one illustrated in Figure (A). The tool
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Figure (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in Figure (B) and (C), may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
Figure (B) if a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid prongs
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box.

WARNING
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING SAW.
• Wear eye protection.
• Use splash hood for every operation for which it can be used.
• Disconnect saw before servicing, when changing cutting wheels, and cleaning.
• Use tool only with smooth-edge cutting wheels free of openings and grooves.
• Replace damaged cutting wheel before operating.
• Do not fill water bath above water fill line.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss power and overheating. Table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
