WARNING: Read the Operating Procedure
completely before operating your tile saw.
Take into account the working conditions from
the health and safety point of view.
Always pay extreme care and attention to the
preparation of the machine before starting.
Remove all wrenches and tools from the
machine.
Always keeps blade guard in place.
• Fill the Pan (3) with enough water to fully submerge
the water pump screen. It takes approximately 6-1/2
gallons (25 l) to fill the Pan.
• Before connecting the power cord:
* Check the Blade Shaft Nut (L) to be sure it is
tight and that the Blade (K) rotates freely.
WARNING: Check that the ON/OFF switch is
in the OFF position. Then connect the power
cord to a properly grounded outlet of the
correct voltage. See the decal near the power
cord for power requirements. If needed, use
the correct size three (3) conductor extension
cord to avoid excessive voltage drop. Never
use lamp cord type extensions. Refer to the
5. Install the Outer Flange (M2) with the large di-
ameter against the Blade (K). Tighten the Blade
Shaft Nut (L) with the 15/16" Wrench (N) pro-
vided.
6. Lower the Blade Guard (J) and retighten the
wing nut to securely hold the guard in place.
• Install the Drain Plug (P) into the front end of the pan
and fill with clean water until inlet filter of water pump
is covered; about 6.5 gal. (25 l).
• Adjust the Pan Assembly (3) to accommodate the
size of the tile to be cut and to obtain the most com-
fortable position for the operator.
1. When cutting
smaller tile units, adjust the pan
all the way to the rear. The operator has full
view and control of the work with minimum
stretching.
2. For cutting
intermediate sized units, such as 8"
or 10" tile, the pan can be placed somewhere
between the maximum forward and maximum
rear positions.
3. When cutting larger units, the pan should be
moved to the maximum forward position, thus
giving the operator the best and most comfort-
able position, even when cutting 12" x 12" or
larger units.
4. When cutting smaller tile, adjust cart stop to limit
cart travel. When cutting larger tile, adjust cart
stop to allow for extended travel.
Recommended Extension Cords chart below.
• Turn the switch to ON. The blade should turn counter-
clockwise, when looking at the blade guard side. The
water pump will start automatically when the motor
starts. Adjustment of the water supply may be made
by means of the Control Valve(G).
• Follow the blade manufacturer’s recommendations
for dry or wet cutting. Wet cutting blades can be
damaged or destroyed without sufficient water. Only
blades specifically designed for dry cutting can be
used without coolant.
The water supply should be adequate, with
water flowing on both sides of the blade. Keep
the water clean and make certain the WATER
LEVER IS ALWAYS ABOVE THE PUMP INLET.
Do not run the water pump dry!! Unplug for
dry cutting.
• For straight cuts, position the tile squarely against
the back edge of the conveyor cart. Keep the cart
clean and free of cuttings. The standard Rip Guide
(R) is used.
• Move the conveyor cart slowly and carefully until the
blade is in contact with the tile. The blade needs a
chance to “break-in” or “wear-in” slightly. It may take
about ten cuts to open a new blade for best cutting.
5 ADJUSTABLE LOCKBAR WITH
DEPTH LINKING PROTECTION
A Lockbar (28) is used to set the blade depth during cutting.
The lockbar has three (3) holes at the lower end for use
with 10”, 8” and 6” blades.
These are used as depth-limiting settings that, if used with
the correct blade diameter, will protect the rolling cart from
being cut by the blade.
The three (3) holes in Lockbar:
10 - The lowest hole is for use with a 10" diameter
blade.
8 - The middle hole is for use with an 8" diameter
blade.
6 - The uppermost hole is for use with a 6" diameter
blade or profile wheel.
