ELECTIRCAL SAFETY INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, re hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit
protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. Your tile saw is wired at the factory
for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 9 Amp circuit and use a 9 Amp time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. To avoid shock or re, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have
it replaced immediately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This tool must be grounded 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 electric currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an
electrical cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not t the receptacle, have the proper
receptacle installed by a qualied electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualied electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs with three-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than #14 wire and
should be protected with a 9 Amp time delay fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line,
make sure the switch is in the o position and the electric current is rated the same as the current
stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PR OPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and burning out of the
motor. The 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.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualied technician before using it. Protect your extension
cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
