**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit. NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

Always use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use”. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.

WARNING:

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

Electrical Connection

This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 5,800 rpm. This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

Grounding Instructions

See Figure 1, page 17.

This product must be grounded. In the event 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 equipmentgrounding 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.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING:

Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the cord is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

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.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 1, page 17. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tile saw. Outlets are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

8 — English

ELECTRICAL

If the saw is used with an extension cord, ensure the connection of the tool’s power cord and the extension cord are not on the ground.

If a protected outlet is not available, do not use the saw until an outlet can be changed or auxiliary protection can be obtained. These auxiliary protection devices are available at your local retailer.

below the level of the outlet, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the outlet.

If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the outlet.

POSITION OF THE TILE saw

See Figure 2, page 17.

To avoid the possibility of the tool plug or outlet getting wet, position tile saw to one side of a wall-mounted outlet to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet or plug. The operator should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord connecting the saw to the outlet. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord

OPERATION

using THE WATER supply valve

See Figure 20, page 22.

The water supply valve allows you to adjust the water flowing onto the wheel.

using THE FLOW ADJUSTMENT VALVE

See Figure 21, page 22.

When using the pumpless flow system, this valve must be turned on and off immediately following turning the saw on or off.

When using the optional pump (not included), the flow adjustment valve can be used to adjust the flow of water.

MAKING CUTS

Always draw the line to be cut on the tile using a marker or grease pencil. If the tile is shiny and hard-to-mark, place masking tape on the tile and mark the tape.

A common problem when cutting tile is straying from the marked line. Once you’ve strayed from the mark, you can not force the wheel back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead, back up and recut the tile slicing off a small amount of tile until the wheel is back on track.

To avoid this problem, use the bevel block or rip guide whenever possible. Use the rip guide when making cross cuts and miter cuts and the bevel block for bevel cuts.

To make a cross cut

See Figure 22, page 22.

Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into the cut at a 90° angle to the wheel, and the wheel is vertical.

Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material.

Set the rip guide to 0°, tighten the lock knob, and lock in place.

Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip guide and fence.

Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw.

Turn the on/off switch to the on position.

Turn the flow adjustment valve to the on position.

Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel.

Hold the material firmly against the rip guide and feed the material into the cutting wheel.

When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the material.

To make a diagonal cut

See Figure 23, page 22.

Diagonal cuts are also referred to as “long point to long point cuts”.

Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material.

Set the rip guide to the desired angle, lock in place, and tighten the lock knob.

Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip guide and fence.

Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw.

Turn the on/off switch to the on position.

Turn the flow adjustment valve to the on position.

Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel.

Hold the material firmly against the rip guide and feed the material into the cutting wheel.

When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the material.

To make a miter cut

See Figure 24, page 22.

Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners on material, decorative chair rail, and base molding with the material at any angle to the wheel other than 90°. Miter cuts tend to “creep” during cutting. This can be controlled by holding the workpiece securely against the rip guide.

Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material.

Set the rip guide to the desired setting, lock in place, and tighten the lock knob.

Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip guide and fence.

Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw.

Turn the on/off switch to the on position.

Turn the flow adjustment valve to the on position.

Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel.

Hold the material firmly against the rip guide and feed the material into the cutting wheel.

When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the material.

To make an L-cut

See Figure 25, page 23.

L-cuts are cuts that remove a piece of tile to fit in a corner, around a cabinet, or a piece of molding and are made by two separate cuts.

NOTE: Only overcut on the bottom or underneath side of the material being cut.

OPERATION

Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on both sides of the material.

Set the rip guide to the desired setting, lock in place, and tighten the lock knob.

Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip guide and fence.

Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw.

Turn the on/off switch to the on position.

Turn the flow adjustment valve to the on position.

Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel.

Hold the material firmly against the rip guide and feed the material into the cutting wheel.

Make the cut far enough into the material without overcutting.

Turn the material over and make the cut along one of the marks. This time overcut the other line and the cut piece should separate from the rest of the material.

When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the material.

To make a bevel cut

See Figure 26, page 23.

Beveled 45° cuts can be made with the bevel block.

Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material.

Place the bevel block on the right side of the table at the desired distance from the wheel and lock in place.

Place the material on the bevel block.

Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw.

Turn the on/off switch to the on position.

Turn the flow adjustment valve to the on position.

Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel.

Hold the material firmly against the bevel block and fence and feed the material into the cutting wheel.

When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting­ wheel to come to a complete stop before removing­

any part of the material.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the OFF position. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

The saw has been adjusted at the factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the components might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably become necessary due to wear.

Do not start any adjustments until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjustments are needed.

To square the cutting wheel to the TABLE

See Figure 27, page 23.

Do not loosen any screws for this adjustment until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjustments are necessary. Once the screws are loosened, these items must be reset.

Unplug the saw.

Usinga13mmwrenchoradjustablewrench(notincluded), loosen the hex bolt at the front of the frame and end of the slide rod.

Move the table until the fence is square with the cutting wheel.

Tighten the hex bolt securely.

To ADJUST THE TABLE ROLLERS

See Figure 28, page 23.

If the table doesn’t slide smoothly, seems too loose on the slide rod, or moves side to side, adjustments may be required. There are two different sets of shafts that may require adjustment.

To adjust if the table is loose:

Using a hex key and wrench (not included), loosen the bottom two shafts. These lower shafts can be adjusted up and down on the slide rod.

If the table still doesn’t slide smoothly, loosen the top two shafts.

Oncetherollersare sliding satisfactorily,tightenthe screws securely.

To adjust if the rollers are too tight:

From the side closest to the frame, insert a hex key in the shaft.

Holding the hex key to keep the shaft from turning, loosen the nylock nuts until the table slides at the desired smoothness.
