Manual

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top

priority in the design of your tile saw.

INTENDED USE

The tile saw is intended for the following purposes:

■ Wet cross cutting, rip cutting, and bevel cutting of man-

made tile, pavers, and natural stone tile materials.

■ For dry cutting of the materials listed above, a special

cutting wheel is required (not provided).

Do not use the product for any other purpose.

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions,

illustrations and specifications provided with this

power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below

may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

TILE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

■ The guard provided with the tool must be securely

attached to the power tool and positioned for

maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is

exposed towards the operator. Position yourself

and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating

wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from broken

wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.

■ Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your power

tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to your

power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

■ The rated speed of the accessory must be at least

equal to the maximum speed marked on the power

tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed

can break and fly apart.

■ Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: do not grind with the side

of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended

for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these

wheels may cause them to shatter.

■ Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of

correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper

wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the

possibility of wheel breakage.

■ The outside diameter and the thickness of your

accessory must be within the capacity rating of your

power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be

adequately guarded or controlled.

■ The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly

fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flanges

with arbour holes that do not match the mounting

hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,

vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

■ Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,

inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power

tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or

install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting

and installing the wheel, position yourself and

bystanders away from the plane of the rotating

wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load

speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally

break apart during this test time.

■ Wear personal protective equipment. Depending

on application, use face shield, safety goggles or

safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,

hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable

of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.

The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying

debris generated by various operations. The dust mask

or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles

generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to

high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

■ Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work

area. Anyone entering the work area must wear

personal protective equipment. Fragments of

workpiece or of a broken wheel may fly away and cause

injury beyond immediate area of operation.

■ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, when performing an operation where the

cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could

give the operator an electric shock.

■ Never lay the power tool down until the accessory

has come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel

may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your

control.

■ Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your

side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory

could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your

body.

■ Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The

motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and

excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause

electrical hazards.

■ Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged

rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling

of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled

power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the

wheel’s rotation at the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched

by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering

into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material

causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may

either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on

direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.

Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below.

■ Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position

your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback

forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for

maximum control over kickback or torque reaction

during start-up. The operator can control torque

How many millimeter does the saw need to protrude under the material I'm sawing? Verified

It's best to keep this at 3mm or more. When it is less, there is a chance the material will crumble or lead to an ugly result.

Do I need to wear hearing protection when using a circular saw? Verified

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
