TX-3 SAFETY
SAFETY WARNINGS
SILICA DUST WARNING:
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition
may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay,
granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline
silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such
materials, always follow respiratory precautions.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE:
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 and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber
For further information, consult the following sources:
http://www.osha-slc.gov/sltc/silicarystalline/index.html
http://www.oehha.org/prop65/out_of_date/6022kLstA.html
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.

• DO NOT operate or service this equipment before reading this entire manual.
This equipment should not be operated by persons under 18 years of age.
NEVER operate this equipment without proper protective clothing, shatterproof glasses, steeltoed boots
and other protective devices required by the job.
NEVER operate this equipment when not feeling well due to fatigue, illness or taking medicine.
NEVER operate this equipment under the influence or drugs or alcohol.
Whenever necessary, replace nameplate, operation and safety decals when they become difficult to read.
ALWAYS check the machine for loose bolts before starting.
• ALWAYS wear proper respiratory (mask) hearing and eye protection
equipment when operating this machine.
ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry
location out of the reach of children.
• NEVER leave the machine unattended. Turn off electric motor when unattended.
CAUTION must be observed while servicing the machine. Rotating parts can cause injury if contacted.
Ensure that any electrical extension cord is protected against damage. Always ensure that the electrical
extension cord is not trapped underneath the machine. 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 volt-
age that will result in a loss of power and overheating. The Table shown on page 11 shows the correct AWG
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heaviest gage.
The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
DO NOT allow extension cord to come into contact with water or fluids. DO NOT spray water onto electric motor.
• NEVER operate the machine in an explosive atmosphere.
Before starting the machine, check that all guards are in position and correctly fitted.
Keep area around the machine clear of obstructions which could cause persons to fall onto moving parts.

In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols
should be followed at all times!
In case 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.

TX-3 SAFETY
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer surface that is green, with or
without yellow stripes. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
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.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
WARNING
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A of
Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A of Figure 1. A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-
colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box.
NOTE: Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada.
Fig. 1 Circuit and Adapter Information

To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for this
machine. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protections and may be used for this measure of safety.
When using an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed closest to the power source, followed by the
extension cord and lastly, the machine.
TX-3 SAFETY
WARNING
WARNING
The pump requires a GFCI. To reduce risk of electric shock when operating the machine with the pump
plugged into the 3-pole receptacle on the motor, connect the saw to a GFCI outlet. See the pump manual and
informational tags enclosed separately for all pump information.
Fig. 2 Drip Loop Information
To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the machine to one side of
a wall mounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop,”
shown in Figure 2, should be arranged by the user to properly position the power cord relative to the power source.
The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector, if an extension
cord is used. This method of positioning the cord prevents the travel of water along the power cord and
coming in contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or receptacle gets wet, DO NOT 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.
