Service
24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
25. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
“Inspec-
tion, Maintenance, And Cleaning”
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Specific Safety Rules
1. Ensure that the directional arrow on the blade is mounted the same direction as the rotational
direction of the motor.
2. Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles when using the tool. Using personal
safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and other safety equipment are
available from Harbor Freight Tools.
3. Periodically check to be sure the Locking Arbor Nut (38) is tight, and the Blade is securely
fastened to the Arbor Shaft.
4. Never try to cut freehand. Only cut tile that is securely held against the fence of the
Sliding Table or the Miter Gauge. Never try to cut pieces that are too small to be held
securely or that do not allow you to keep your hands safely away from the blade.
5. When starting this power tool, always ensure that it remains in place on a stable work platform.
6. Only use a GFCI-protected power source.
7. Never cut more than one tile at a time.
8. Allow the motor to come to full speed before cutting. If the blade vibrates or makes an unusual
sound, turn off the tool, unplug it, and investigate to find the source of the problem.
9. Let the blade come to a full stop before attempting to remove any jammed material.
10. Never walk away from the tool until the motor has come to a complete stop. The tool may create
unforeseen risk while the motor cycles down. Never leave the tool unattended when it is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
11. Never allow the blade to run dry. Cutting with a dry blade will cause excessive wear and
possible damage to the blade and motor.
12. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities, contain 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 micro-
scopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,
et seq.
)
13. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure
of the pacemaker.
14. Use only 8” wet type blades specifically designed for tile cutting. Do not use any blade rated for
less than 4500 RPM.
