ELECTRIC POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS
Warning! Immediately switch off the power tool if any of the following occurs:
• Malfunction of the plug, receptacle or damage to the power supply cord.
• The switch or trigger is broken.
• User sees or smells smoke.
• The user smells the odor of scorched insulation.
• A safety guard moves stiffly and/or doesn’t return to the safe position.
• The cutting wheel wobbles.
1. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the tool to the power supply.
2. Never use a tool with a cracked or worn cutting wheel. Replace the cutting wheel.
3. Do not start the tool if the cutting wheel is touching the workpiece.
4. Before using the tool on a workpiece, test the tool by running it at the highest no-load speed for at least 30
seconds in a safe position. Stop immediately if there is any abnormal vibration or wobbling that could indicate
poor installation of the cutting wheel. Check the tool to determine the cause.
5. Prevent the tool’s motor from overloading or overheating by taking breaks to allow the heat to dissipate.
6. When the tool is in operation, keep hands away from the cutting.
7. Do not use the tool on any material containing asbestos.
8. Do not touch the cutting wheel or the surface that has been cut with this tool immediately after use. The surface
will be hot and may cause an injury.
9. Do not allow persons who are not familiar with the tool or have not read these instructions to use the tool.
POWER CORD
1. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever possible.
a. Use extension cords only when the tool’s power cord cannot reach a power supply from the work area
(see Extension Cord).
2. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or damaged as an electric shock may occur, resulting in
personal injury/death or damage to the tool.
a. Inspect the tool’s power cord for cracks, fraying or other faults in the insulation or plug before each use.
b. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm while operating the tool. Contact an
electrician or qualified person to replace the power cord.
3. Prevent damage to the power cord by observing the following:
a. Never use the cord to carry the tool.
b. Do not pull the plug from an outlet by the cord.
c. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
d. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over unprotected power cords.
i. Position power cords away from traffic areas.
ii. Place cords in reinforced conduits.
iii. Place planks on either side of the power cord to create a protective trench.

EXTENSION CORD
1. Use a single extension cord that is the correct length and gauge that matches or exceeds the amperage rating
of the tool. Using multiple extension cords, a cord that is too long or an insufficient gauge can cause the
following hazards:
a. Fire from overheating. Unroll the cord completely to prevent it from overheating and damaging
the insulation.
b. Electric shock from melting or damaging the cord’s insulation.
c. Underpowering the tool causing a functional failure, resulting in personal injury or damage the tool.
d. A cord that is too long may create a tripping hazard to others moving within the work area.
2. Use the tool without an extension cord whenever possible. Only use an extension cord as a temporary means
of reaching the power supply.
3. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked ‘W-A’ or ‘W’. These cords are
rated for outdoor use. Constructed of more durable materials, they can withstand temperature changes, UV light
(sunlight) and moisture, reducing the risk of electric shock.
4. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, the use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. It is recommended that the GFCI should
have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
LOW VOLTAGE
Low voltage may cause overheating due to higher power current being drawn to the tool that will shorten the
motor life.
An extension cord may cause a drop in power to the tool if too long or the amperage rating is not correct. This may
result in the following:
• The tool will not activate when switched on.
• The tool may switch on, but fails to maintain power when applied to a workpiece.
• The tool may overheat, possibly starting a fire.
Test the tool by plugging it directly to the power supply. If it powers on, change the extension cord with the correct
rating and as short as needed. The workpiece may also need to be relocated closer to the power supply.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or other accessory. The
edge of the wheel enters the pinch point and digs into the material, kicking the workpiece out in the direction of the
accessory’s rotation.
Maintaining a firm grip on the workpiece and positioning your body and arms to resist the kickback.

SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The 7 in. Portable Tile Saw contains a water basin to cool the cutting wheel. Several precautions are needed
to prevent the water from creating an electrical hazard. Water does collect on the cutting wheel and the tile-
cutting table as part of normal tool operation.
a. Do not fill water bath above the fill line (inside basin). Excess water may splash out as the cutting wheel
rotates through the bath, causing an electrical hazard.
b. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet,
position the tile saw off 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’ is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or
connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the
cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
c. DO NOT unplug the power supply cord if the plug or receptacle does get
wet. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then, unplug the tool and
examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
2. Always keep the blade guard in the down position while operating the tile saw. If the blade guard does not
move freely or remains stuck in the open position, discontinue use until the guard is fixed.
3. Feed the workpiece into the cutting wheel against the direction of rotation. Keep hands away from the cutting
wheel. Brace the workpiece to prevent kickback.
4. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn the power off and don’t leave the tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
TOOL USE AND CARE
CAUTION! Only use cutting wheels with a smooth edge free of openings and grooves.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force a tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool.
Maximize tool performance and safety by using the tool for its intended task.
2. This tool was designed for a specific function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for an
unintended purpose.
3. Securely hold this tool using both hands, unless it is designed for single hand use. Using a tool with only one
hand can result in loss of control.
4. Maintain tools with care (see Maintenance).
5. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the tool before operation or connecting it to a power source. A
wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool increases the risk of personal injury.
6. Avoid unintentional starts. Be sure that the ignition switch is in the neutral or OFF position when not in use or
before connecting it to any power source.

OPERATION
SETTING UP THE TILE SAW
1. Take out the rip guide and power supply cord from the bottom storage.
2. Detach the Blade guard, and then open the right cutting table to fill the reservoir with water
to the recommended level. Keep the water level with the basin lines.
3. Attach the blade guard above the blade and close the right cutting table. Now you are
ready to cut!
STEPS FOR RIP, ANGLE & MITRE CUTS
1. The edge of the cutting table (upper frame) is marked with rigid dimension in both
inches and centimeters for accurate cutting.
2. Align the tile with the proper guide. The cutting blade should be on the waste side of the
cutline to maintain the original measurement.
3. For 90° rip cuts, lean the material against the tile guide once it is in position, then push
the material forward to the blade.
4. For 0° to 45∘angle cuts, attach the mitre guide on the rip guide. Choose the degree you
want and tighten the adjustment knob. Then push the mitre guide and material together
forwards the blade to cut the material.
5. For bevel cuts raise the right cutting table to the desired angle, you can choose 22.5°, 30°,
and 45°. Put the two stands into the grooves to hold the cutting table in place. Place the
material face down onto the left cutting table and you are ready to cut.
OPERATION
CAUTION! Follow these steps before making the first cut:
• Check that the tile saw is unplugged from the power supply until ready to cut.
• Choose the correct cutting blade for the material to be cut. Check the specifications that come with the
cutting blade before selection.
• Always keep water level at the recommended level. Do not let the saw run dry!
1. Set the cutting blade depth to 1/8 in. beyond the material’s thickness.
2. Turn the tool on and check that the cutting blade isn’t wobbling and the water is contacting both sides of the
cutting blade.
3. Allow the cutting blade to achieve full speed before making the cut. Maintain a firm grip when the cutting blade
comes in contact with the workpiece to prevent kickback. Move the tile slowly in a straight line until the cut is
complete. Do not force the tile saw.
