MK-100 TILE SAW SAFETY
If using an extension cord make sure it is in good condition first. 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 that will result in a loss of power and
overheating. Table on Page 10 shows the correct AWG size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that may
be caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times by not overreaching.
Clamps or a vise should be used to hold work whenever practical. Keeping your
hands free to operate a power tool is safer.
Keep tools clean for the best and safest performance. Always follow maintenance
instructions for lubricating, and when changing accessories.
Power tools should always be disconnected before servicing or when changing
accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
Make the workshop kid proof by using padlocks, master switches or by removing
starter keys.
A power tool will do a job better and safer operating at the rate for which it was designed.
DO NOT force a tool or an attachment to do a job that it was not designed to do.
