Important Safety Instructions for All Tools
WARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction manual before
operating the wet tile saw. Failure to heed these warnings may result in
personal injury and serious damage to the saw. When servicing this tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Have damaged cords replaced by an authorized
service center.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 equipment-grounding 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.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
• 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.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
• Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The
tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper
grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. If your
unit is intended for use on less than 150 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch
a. If it is for use on 150 to 250 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch d. An
adapter, sketches b and c, is available for connecting sketch A type plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. No adapter is available for a plug as shown in sketch d. ADAPTER SHOWN IN SKETCHES B and C IS NOT
FOR USE IN CANADA.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the
ground.
WARNING: A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is provided for use with the saw.
Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for an added
measure of safety. When using an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed to the
power supply before the extension cord.
WARNING: The water pump must be plugged into a GFCI protected receptacle.
NOTE: Do not run the pump dry.
WARNING: Test GFCI before each use:
1. Plug GFCI into power outlet. Indicator should turn red.
2. Press test button. Red indicator should disappear.

3. Press reset button for use. Do not use if above test fails.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Repair or replace damaged cords. Always replace cord with a GFCI cord.
WARNING: Never use saw with salt water or a conductive fluid.
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet
locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOPKID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often cover
moving parts and should also be avoided.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.
• SECURE WORK. Always place tile flat on cart and securely against fence.
• NEVER USE A PAN HEATER OR OTHER HEAT SOURCE FOR HEATING WATER.
Damage to the tool, fire or personal injury could result.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as cutting
wheels, clamps, extensions, and the like.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cut-
ting tool is unintentionally contacted.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function–check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a cutting wheel with the direction of rotation only.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Additional Safety Rules for Wet Tile Saw

• DON’T - Allow anyone to stand behind saw.
• DON’T - Place either hand in the cutting wheel area when the saw is connected to the
power source.
• DON’T - Use cutting wheels rated less than 5000 R.P.M.
• DON’T - Place hands closer than 3" (76 mm) from the saw cutting wheel.
• DON’T - Reach behind or underneath the saw unless it is turned off and unplugged.
• DON’T - Move either hand from saw or workpiece until the cutting wheel has stopped.
• If the plug or receptacle does get wet. DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or
circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and examine for presence
of water in the receptacle.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks, cement, tile, natural stone and other masonry products,
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause seri-
ous and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and
body.

face. Place the saw into the stand as shown in Figure 21.
If not using a stand, place saw on a level surface.
Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause
loss of power and overheating. All D
EWALT tools are fac-
tory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power
supply.
• Always plug saw into a GFCI receptacle.
• Always plug extension cord into a GFCI receptacle.
• Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use. These extension cords are identified by a marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliance; store
indoors while not in use.”
• Use only extension cords having an electrical rating
not less than the rating of the product.

On/Off Switch
WARNING: To avoid the possibility of the appliance
plug or receptacle getting wet, position the wet tile saw to
one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water
from dipping onto the receptacle or plug. The user should
arrange a “drip loop” in the cord connecting the saw to a
receptacle (Fig. 6). The “drip loop” is that part of the cord
below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an
extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along
the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
To turn the wet tile cutter on, lift up the on/off switch (A).
The wet tile saw locks on automatically. To turn the tool off,
push the on/off switch down. A hole is provided under the

allows easy adjustment of nozzles to desired position.
1. Optimum position for minimum overspray (Fig. 7).
2. Water nozzles (M) can be fully retracted to allow for
maximum capacity (Fig. 8).
3. “Off Cutting Wheel” position to eliminate water overspray between cuts and for blade change (Fig. 9).
Cutting Wheel Alignment
TO CHECK ALIGNMENT (FIG. 10)
1. Place a 90˚ framing square on the cutting cart fence
(X).
2. Push the cutting cart along the cutting wheel to determine if the gap along the framing square is consistent
along the length of the stroke.
3. If the gap is not consistent, see the Adjustments sec-
tion of this manual.
Cutting Wheel Depth (Fig. 11)
The outer rim of the cutting wheel should always be at
least 3/16" (5mm) below the cart surface. Push cart entirely through the cutting wheel before cutting to be sure that

L-CUTS
An L-cut is a section that is removed from of a piece of tile
and is used when cutting a piece of tile to fit in a corner of
a cabinet or piece of trim molding.
1. Outline the area to be cut on both sides of the tile.
2. Align the tile to the cutting cart fence and make the cut
far enough into the tile without overcutting.
3. Make a cut on the other mark on the tile without overcutting.
4. Turn the tile over and make the cut along one of the
outlines, but this time an overcut can occur without
damaging the exposed surface of the tile due to the
radius of the cutting wheel. Overcut the other line and
the cut piece should be separate from the rest of the
tile.
5. Turn off the saw.
PLUNGE CUTS
Plunge cuts are utilized when removing the center of a
piece of tile for electrical outlets and for making cuts for air
conditioner registers.
1. Outline the area to be cut on both sides of the tile.
2. Release the cutting head by loosening the head lock
knob (D).
3. Adjust the depth of cut knob (BB) in the rear of the
cutting wheel guard to prevent the cutting wheel from
traveling too deep and cutting into the cutting cart.
Always do a dry or practice run to acquaint yourself
with the path of the cutting wheel. Practice on a
scrap tile to ensure that you are comfortable with the
feel of the cutting operation.
4. Place the tile on the cutting cart with the finished side
facing up.

MITER CUTS: 22.5˚ AND 45˚
Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners
on tile, decorative chair rail and base molding.
The cutting head of the saw is adjustable to three positions: 0˚, 22.5˚ or 45˚. The three grooves (Y) in the cutting
cart allow for the cutting head to be set at the three settings
without cutting into the cutting cart assembly (H).
1. Loosen the bevel lock knob (CC) in the rear of the saw
and adjust the head of the saw to the correct miter
degree. The bevel pointer (DD) on the front of the saw
will show the angle of adjustment.
2. Always do a dry run and push the cart past the cutting
wheel before turning on the saw. Ensure the cutting
wheel is adjusted to the center of the groove.
3. Mark the tile and line the tile against the fence of the
cutting cart and the edge guide. Proceed to make the
cut.

MAINTENANCE
Brushes (Fig. 18)
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the switch is in the OFF
position.
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool,
removing the brush cap (OO) and withdrawing the brush
assembly. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their
guides. Always insert a replacement brush in the same orientation in the holder as the used brush was prior to its
removal. Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped
into their sides, and if the brush is worn down to the line
closest to the spring, brushes must be replaced. Use only
identical D
EWALT brushes. Use of the correct grade of
brush is essential for proper operation. New brush assemblies are available at D
EWALT service centers. The tool
should be allowed to “run in” (run at no load) for 10 minutes
before use to seat new brushes.
Transportation and Storage
The rear water attachment (G), cutting cart water attachment (I) and water pan (K) may be nested together to
make carrying easier (Fig. 19).
The edge guide (J) and the cutting cart extension (PP) may
also be stored in the underside of the water pan (Fig. 20).
Cleaning
1. Insert the water pump into a bucket of clean water and
pump the water through the hose system.
2. Turn off and unplug the saw from the power supply.
3. Place a 5 gallon bucket under the drain plug. Remove
the drain plug and allow the water to empty into the
bucket.
4. Slide the cutting cart off the rail system. Spray the cutting cart with a hose or wipe with a grout sponge or rag.
5. Wipe the rails, motor housing, and support arm with a
grout sponge or a rag. Spray lubricants are not required
on the guide rail or wheels.
6. Clean the water pan by spraying with a hose or wiping
with a grout sponge.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.
