1. ThIS TILE SAW muST bE ConnECTEd To
A GroundEd poWEr SourCE while in use to
protect the operator from electrical shock.
2. 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. The tile
saw is equipped with an electrical cord with
a grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
Insert the 3-prong electrical plug into a 3-pole
receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
3. do noT modIfy ThE pLuG provided if it
will not fit the outlet. Have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
4. 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 electrical cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
5. 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.

11. do noT LET your fInGErS TouCh
ThE TErmInALS of plug when installing or
removing the plug to or from the outlet.
12. ThIS TILE SAW muST bE propErLy
GroundEd. The risk of electric shock and
bodily injury are greatly increased if it is not,
particularly when used in damp locations or in
proximity to plumbing.
noTE: This tool is intended for use on a
circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated in FIGURE 2 (A). The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in FIGURE 2 (A). A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in FIGURE 2 (B) and (C), may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in FIGURE 2 (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.
