FIGURE 2
EXTENSION CORDS
1. 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.
TO REDUCE THE RISk
OF ELECTROCUTION, kEEP ALL CONNECTIONS
DRY AND OFF THE GROUND. DO NOT TOUCH
PLUG WITH WET HANDS.
2. 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.
3. 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 1 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.
NOTE: When using an extension cord, ensure
all cords are no smaller than #12 gauge, rated
at a 20-amp minimum, and equipped with
3-prong plugs. Use of anything smaller may
result in overheating or burn out of the motor. It
is recommended to have an electrician check
the voltage at the saw motor to ensure proper
voltage to run the saw efficiently and safely.

PROPOSITION 65
SOME DUST CREATED
BY POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING,
DRILLING AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION
ACTIvITIES CONTAIN 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, cement and 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 well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specifically designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
DESCRIPTION
Before attempting to use any tool, be sure
to familiarize yourself with all the operating
features and safety instructions.
