[. . . ] To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. There are additional safety instructions for particular operations of the saw in the operating section. LocaTioN Use the tile saw in a well lit area and on a level surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the risk of trips and falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the casual observer is forced to stand in line with the blade. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position tile saw 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" in the cord connecting the saw to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. To reduce the risk of electrocution, DoN'T unplug the cord if the plug or receptacle gets wet. ) symbol listed BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.

DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off material that may become trapped inside the blade guard while the saw is running. ) symbol listed BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury. [. . . ] WARNING always test Gfci to make sure it is functioning properly before plugging tile saw into Gfci protected receptacle. Connect the unit to a power source with the correct voltage and frequency (120V, 60Hz). Making a flat cut Adjust the parallel rip fence to the desired distance from the tile blade, using the scale rules on the table surface for reference. Tighten the fence-locking knobs on each side to firmly lock the parallel rip fence on the table. [. . . ]
