OPERATION

nce your sliding tile saw is completely assembled, we suggest to get the

water tray and laser guide set up properly before attempting to operate.

WATER PUMP/WATER SUPPLY

Warning! To prevent excessive wear on the blade, make sure to maintain a

ontinuous flow of water on the blade during all operations. Never cut a tile

without continuous water flow!

Warning! Make sure the power cord is positioned to remain dry during

operations. Severe personal injury or death can occur if the power cord or the

operator of the tile saw should become wet.

1) Make sure the water pump is plugged to the quick-connect receptacle

mounted to the motor and that the water hose is properly connected to the

water pump. See Fig.9.

2) Position the pump so that it does not interfere with the motion of the sliding

table while cutting, under the motor is a good place.

3) Fill the water tray with enough water so that the pump is completely

submerged, but not too much so that the water tray overflows.

LASER GUIDE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

Warning! Do not stare directly into the laser beam.

1. Mark the line of cut on the tile and test cut the tile.

2. Turn on the laser guide system with the waterproof switch (A) Fig.10 to

ensure it aligns with the edge of the cut tile.

3. Plug in the machine and start the motor.

4. When the blade is at its maximum speed (approx. 2 sec.) slide the table

towards the blade.

5. After completion, switch off the laser guide system and the motor and wait

for the blade to come to a complete stop.

ADJUSTING LASER TRAJECTORY

If your laser guide does not seem to be aligned with the blade kerf, a small

adjustment can be made.

1. Loosen screw (B) Fig.8 found directly above the laser guide.

2. Place a scrap piece of tile on the table and slide the table towards the blade.

urn laser tip dial (C) until the laser beam is aligned with the saw blade

(blade kerf), hold the laser dial and retighten screw (B) to prevent the laser

dial from moving.

CHANGING/INST

ALLING BA

TTERIES

The laser guide system supplied with your tile saw is battery operated (2

AAA

batteries supplied). Only turn on the laser guide system only after you have

placed or are about to place a workpiece on the table. To change the batteries:

1. Remove the top mounted laser battery snap-on cover (D) Fig.10.

2. Replace both

AAA batteries.

3. Replace the snap-on battery cover.

ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT

It is recommended to position the blade 1/4” below the surface to cut. To adjust,

loosen mounting plate lock knob (A) Fig.9 so the blade is to the desired depth

and retighten lock knob. It is possible to set the blade higher for depth cutting

by positionning the head/blade assembly above the top of the cutting tables’

surface.

Figure 11

Cutting Tiles:

1. Place the marked tile on the table and brace it against the rear of the table. Turn on laser guide and align the cut mark with the laser beam.

2. Once the tile saw has been turned on, allow the blade to speed up to full speed. Make sure that the pump is supplying a continuous flow of

water to the blade.

3. Keeping your hands clear of the blade, slide the table and the tile towards the blade. Feed the tile into the blade very slowly. Do not force it.

If the rotational feed of the blade slows down significantly, then you are forcing the tile.

4. While cutting, make sure the blade remains wet. If it runs dry, check the action of the pump and water level of the water tray.

5. If the motor stops suddenly, flip the power switch to the “off” position. Check power supply including the circuit breaker, wait approximately

15 minutes and push the reset button.

Using the 90º Rip Guide:

If you have to cut a number of tiles to the same dimension, using the 90º rip guide

(A) Fig.12 may save you a significant amount of time.

1. Mark the first tile to the correct dimensions, allowing space for grout.

2. With the motor turned off, place the marked tile on the table against the fence.

Turn on laser guide and align the cut mark with the laser beam.

3. Loosen the locking knob (B) on the 90º rip guide. Place the hooked portion of the

rip guide over the upturned edge of the table, on the side of the cutting groove

where you have placed the part of the marked tile that you intend to keep and use

after cutting. The 90º rip guide will be parallel to the tile and perpendicular to the

fence.

4. Slide the rip guide along the fence until it abuts the tile, making sure that the mark

on your tile remains in line with the laser beam and blade.

5. Tighten the rip guide knob.

6. Turn on the tile saw. Cut the tile as described in previous instructions.

7. Make sure that the tile has been cut to proper dimensions before using the rip

guide to cut your other tiles. Periodically test the fit of each tile as you continue

cutting, to be sure the rip guide has not moved.

Angle Cutting, Using the 45º Rip Guide or 45º Bevel Guide:

Use the 45º rip guide (D) for cutting angled edges or the 45º bevel guide (C) to cut bevels on your tiles.

1. Attach either the 45º rip guide/45º bevel guide to the fence as you did the 90º rip guide, using the lock knob to hold the it in place.

2. Use the cutting groove in the middle of the table to brace the edge of your tile as you slide the tile and the table towards the blade.
