16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL  
STARTING. Make sure switch is in  
off position before plugging in.  
Do not use.  
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your  
extension cord is in good condition. When using  
an extension cord, be sure to use one 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 and overheating.  
Table A shows the correct size to use depending  
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.  
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.  
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.  
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended  
accessories. The use of improper accessories  
may cause risk of injury to persons.  
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury  
could occur if the tool is tipped or if the  
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.  
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use  
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged  
should be carefully checked to determine that  
it will operate properly and perform its intended  
function – check for alignment of moving parts,  
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,  
mounting, and any other conditions that may  
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is  
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.  
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.  
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear  
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets,  
or other jewelry which may get caught in moving  
parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended.  
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use  
face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.  
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant  
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.  
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into  
a blade or cutter against the direction of  
rotation of the blade or cutter only.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold  
work when practical. It’s safer than using your  
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.  
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.  
TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool  
until it comes to a complete stop.

Grounding Instructions  
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION  
READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:  
110-120 V~ Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs  
1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,  
grounding provides a path of least resistance for  
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.  
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an  
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding  
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.  
Grounding  
Pin  
2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will  
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet  
installed by a qualified electrician.  
Figure A: 125 V~ 3-Prong Plug and Outlet  
(for up to 125 V~ and up to 15 A)  
3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding  
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.  
The conductor with insulation having an outer  
surface that is green with or without yellow  
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.  
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or  
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-  
grounding conductor to a live terminal.  
7. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has  
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated above  
in Figure A: 125 V~ 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.  
The tool has a grounding plug  
that looks like the plug illustrated above in  
Figure A: 125 V~ 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.  
4. 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.  
8. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded  
in accordance with all codes and ordinances.  
9. Do not use an adapter to connect  
this tool to a different outlet.  
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that  
have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole  
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.  
Tilesaw Safety Warnings  
1. For Your Own Safety Read Instruction  
9. Make sure the workpiece is supported at all  
times while sawing. Use a roller stand (not  
provided) with larger workpieces if necessary.  
Manual Before Operating Saw  
2. Wear eye protection.  
10. To properly understand all safety warnings, be familiar  
with the following safety terms and equipment:  
3. Use saw-blade guard and spreader  
for every operation for which it can be  
used, including all through sawing.  
a. Featherboard – A block with “fingers” that hold  
the workpiece against the fence while sawing.  
4. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.  
5. Use an appropriate push-stick when required.  
6. Know how to reduce risk of kickback.  
7. Do not perform any operation freehand.  
8. Never reach around or over saw blade.  
b. Through-sawing – A cut made from one side of  
a tile to the opposite side, without stopping.  
c. Push-stick – A narrow strip of wood or other soft  
material with a notch cut into one end and which  
is used to push short pieces of material through  
saws. It provides a safe distance between the  
hands and the cutting tool. Must be narrower than  
the cut width to prevent contact with the blade.

Tilesaw Safety Warnings (cont.)  
d. Freehand – Feeding a workpiece through the  
saw without using a fence or guided support  
to guide it. NOT A SAFE METHOD.  
12. Check the guard for proper operation with  
saw disconnected from power before each  
use. Do not disable any guard. Do not  
operate saw if any movable guard does not  
move freely and close instantly. Make sure  
any movable guard does not touch the blade  
in all angles, depths of cut, and positions.  
e. Kerf – The gap made by the saw in the workpiece.  
f. Kickback – A sudden reaction to a pinched,  
bound, or misaligned blade, causing  
an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and  
out of the saw toward the operator.  
13. Keep the guard in place while through-  
sawing. Verify that the spreader lines up  
with the blade to prevent binding.  
g. Spreader – A metal plate that follows the  
saw blade to keep the kerf (gap) from closing  
on the saw blade. Spreaders, except riving  
knives, must be aligned to the blade after  
blade adjustment to prevent binding.  
14. Construct an appropriate Push Stick out of wood  
according to the guidelines on the following page.  
15. DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY GUARD DISABLED,  
DAMAGED, OR REMOVED. Moving guards  
must move freely and close instantly.  
h. Riving Knife – A spreader mounted on the  
same mechanism as the blade. Generally  
more effective than simple spreaders.  
16. The use of accessories or attachments not  
recommended by the manufacturer may  
result in a risk of injury to persons.  
11. As noted previously, Kickback is a sudden reaction  
to a pinched, bound, or misaligned blade, causing an  
uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and out of the saw  
toward the operator.  
17. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.  
Kickback is usually a result of tool misuse and can be  
limited or avoided by following the precautions below:  
18. Only use safety equipment that has been approved  
by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved  
safety equipment may not provide adequate  
Fence must be completely  
parallel to the saw blade.  
protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved  
and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved  
for the specific hazards in the work area.  
Workpiece must be free from flaws and from  
foreign objects (such as nails and screws).  
Support large workpieces along their  
entire length. Large workpieces tend  
to bend, grabbing the blade.  
19. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use  
common sense when operating a power tool.  
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or  
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.  
A moment of inattention while operating power  
tools may result in serious personal injury.  
Do not use a dull or damaged blade.  
Maintain control of the workpiece. Do not  
allow the workpiece to rest against the  
moving blade without holding onto it.  
20. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.  
If the blade binds or a cut is interrupted, turn  
off the power switch and hold the workpiece  
still until the blade stops. Correct the cause  
of blade binding before proceeding.  
21. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.  
These carry important safety information.  
If unreadable or missing, contact  
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.  
Before continuing an unfinished cut, center  
the blade in the pre-cut kerf and check that  
the saw teeth are not engaged into the  
workpiece before turning on the saw.  
22. Avoid unintentional starting.  
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.  
Push the workpiece past the  
blade prior to release.  
23. People with pacemakers should consult their  
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in  
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause  
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

5. WARNING To reduce the risk of electrocution,  
keep all connections dry and off the ground.  
Do not touch plug with wet hands.  
Drip Loop  
6. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection  
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s)  
to be used for the tile saw. Receptacles are  
available having built-in GFCI protection and  
may be used for this measure of safety.  
Figure B: Drip Loop  
1. To avoid the possibility of the tool 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.  
7. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,  
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction  
activities, contains chemicals known [to the State  
of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or  
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these  
chemicals are:  
• Lead from lead-based paints  
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other  
masonry products  
• Arsenic and chromium from  
chemically treated lumber  
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending  
on how often you do this type of work. 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.  
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)  
2. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON’T unplug  
the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker  
that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and  
examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

Vibration Safety  
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent  
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:  
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by  
a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being  
caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation  
to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should  
not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as  
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.  
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands  
and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.  
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.  
4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.  
5. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.  
6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If  
any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
