tile saw.
WARNING: To avoid electrocution or fire, any repair to electrical system should be done by qualified service technicians. Unit must be reassembled
exactly to factory specifications.
LUBRICATION
The ball bearings in this machine are packed with grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication. All other moving parts should be
sprayed with a liquid lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
Before each use
1. Check the power cord for any damage.
2. Check blade for damage or wear.
3. Check all guards and hardware to make sure they are secure.
4. Check all moving parts for alignment and binding issues.
After each use
Immediately clean the water pump to keep dried debris from sticking to the filter and impeller which will obstruct the water flow. To clean the water
pump, remove the outer cover. Remove the filter. Then, remove the inner cover to expose the impeller. Use a small brush and clean water to
remove any debris on the filter and impeller. If necessary, replace the old filter.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
• If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
• Using a dull blade will cause excessive wear on the motor, and will not produce a satisfactory cut. Replace with a new blade when needed.
• Clean exterior parts, only use a clean cloth and mild detergent to clean the body of the tile saw. Use a wet/dry vacuum or compressed air to clean
the motor ventilation slots.
• Empty all water from water tray before storing. Ice crystals will damage the pump if the unit contains water in freezing temperatures. Store the
tile saw indoors in a dry, frost-free area.
