WARNING!:

YOUR TILE SAW MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP,

BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN

INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.

GROUNDING

This Tile Saw must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric

shock. This Tile Saw is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly

grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.

WARNING!: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS TILE SAW CAN CAUSE

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO

AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN

ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.

Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept

the tool’s plug.

For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to

the Tile Saw motor. Refer to Fig. 2 for extension cord length and size (gauge).

SSEMBLING DIAMOND CUTTING BLADE

1) First remove the water tray from underneath the table.

2) Undo the pan head screws (A) Fig.3 and remove the lower blade

guard (B) and lower blade guard plate (C).

3) Undo the hex. nut (D) from the arbor shaft. Use the supplied spanner

keys, one on the flat of the arbor shaft and the other on the hex. nut.

4) Place the diamond cutting blade (F) onto the arbor shaft against the

inner flange (G), note the direction of rotation, the arrows must point

towards the front of the saw.

5) Place the outer flange (E) onto the arbor shaft against the blade and

secure the blade with hex. nut (D) using the supplied spanner keys.

6) Reinstall the lower blade guard plate and lower blade guard.

ASSEMBLING BLADE GUARD

1) Assemble the blade guard (B) Fig.4 to the adjusting bracket (A) using

the lock knob (C) and nylon hex. nut (D) as shown in Fig.4.

For safety reasons, always keep the blade guard in the down position

while operating the tile saw. This will also prevent water from splashing

the operator

INSTALLING ASSEMBLED RIP FENCE ON THE TABLE

1) To install the rip fence assembly (A) Fig.5 onto the table, first lift the

clamp lever (B).

2) Slide the front and back clamps onto the table, once the rip fence is in

the desired position, lower the clamp lever (B) to secure the rip fence.

INSTALLING RUBBER FEET UNDER BASE

OPERATION

OPERATION GUIDE

1) Make sure the directional arrows on the blade correspond to the

rotational direction of the motor.

2) Make sure the arbor nut is securely tightened.

3) Never attempt to cut more than one tile at a time.

4) Make sure the table surface is clear before making a cut.

) Let the blade reach its maximum speed before cutting a tile. If the saw

makes an unfamiliar sound or vibrates excessively, turn the saw off and

disconect it from the power source.

6) Never allow the blade to run dry, failure to keep the water tray at the

recommended level could possibly overheat the blade.

7) Allow the blade to come to a full stop before removing a jammed tile.

8) Never cut a tile that is too small to securely hold it against the rip fence

or hold it with sufficient space for the hand to be a safe distance from the

blade.

9) Never make freehand cuts, use the rip fence or the V-push block to

support the tile during any cut.

10) On some tiles with brittle surfaces, it is recommended to cover the cut

line with masking tape.

FILLING THE WATER TRAY

Warning!

Never allow the blade to run dry, failure to keep the water tray at

the recommended water level could possibly overheat the blade.

The water tray is used to cool down the blade. Place the water tray (A) Fig.6

in place under the table and fill it with cold water just enough so that the

blade rim is immersed in water. Do not put too much or too little water in the

tray. Too much water will create splashing and too little may damage the

blade during use. As a guideline, refer to the Maximum an Minimum

indicator lines marked on the lower blade guard (B).

TURNING THE TILE SAW ON/OFF

Connect power cord to power source. Make sure the power source

matches the specifications indicated on the machine nameplate.

Your tile saw is equipped with a safety toggle switch (A) Fig.7. This switch

has a safety key (B) which, when removed, allows the switch to be locked

in the “off” position. To lock the switch in the “off” position, push switch to

“off” and pull out the switch key.

OPERATION &

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Do not service, clean, or maintain the tile saw without first turning off the motor and unplugging

the tile saw from its power source. Failure to do so may result in a serious injury to the operator.

FOR THE LONGEST LIFE AND BEST PERFORMANCE:

• Always clean the tile saw after each use.

• Wipe off all exterior surfaces and keep the cutting table clean and free of all debris.

• Always let the blade cut at its own speed. Do not force the material being cut.

• Always check the blade for cracks or signs of damage.

• Always clean the water tray thoroughly after use.

• Always keep water level at the recommended level. Do not overfill or allow the blade to run dry.

• Always store in dry conditions.

• Never attempt to service the internal parts of the motor by yourself for this would void your warranty.

• Keep the ventilation slots clean and unobstructed to prevent overheating of the motor

CONTINUOUS RIM DIAMOND BLADES

• ONLY USE 7” (180MM) CONTINUOUS RIM DIAMOND BLADES HAVING A 5/8” ARBOR WITH THIS TILE SAW.

• Do not use tile saw blades that are larger or smaller than recommended.

• Do not force the material into the blade, let the blade cut at its own speed.

• Inspect blade before every use for cracks or uneven wear. Discard cracked,

chipped or bent blades.

UTTING OPERATIONS

For straight cuts,

once the rip fence is positioned for the desired cut, place

the material flush against the rip fence then push the material towards the

lade. A push block is supplied for this type of operation.

For diagonal cuts, to obtain diagonal cuts, follow the steps for straight cuts

above, in addition the V-groove push block is used. Position the push block

against the rip fence, place one corner of your material into the V-groove of

the push block and you are ready to cut.

For bevel cuts, Loosen the two lock knobs (A) Fig.8 (only one is shown, the

second is located on the backside of the machine) and tilt the table to the

desired angle, you can choose 15

, 30

, or 45

. Retighten the two lock knobs

(A) to secure the cutting table. Install and position the rip fence (B) on the right

side of the table, then place the material face down onto the right side of the

table and you are ready to cut.
