Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS.
You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching
live electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE mak­ing adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing
machine. This prevents an injury risk from unin­tended startup or contact with live electrical com­ponents.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for Tile Saws

Serious injury or death can occur from getting fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in rotating or
moving parts. Workpieces can be ejected by saw, striking operator or bystanders. Long-term
respiratory damage can occur from breathing dust created while cutting. To minimize risk of
injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS. Electrocution may

occur due to water entering electrical connec­tions. Always connect this machine to a GFCI
circuit breaker to reduce chances of electrocution
and form a "drip loop" so water will drip off cord
before reaching receptacle. Never touch any elec­trical connection while hands are wet.

HAND & BODY POSITIONING. Keep hands
away from blade and out of blade path during
operation so they cannot accidentally slip into
blade. Only operate at front of machine and
always stand to side of blade path. Never reach
behind or over blade, or under splash hood when
blade is spinning. Turn saw OFF and allow blade
to completely stop before removing cut-off pieces
near blade or trapped between blade and miter
guide or table.

SPLASH HOOD. The splash hood protects oper­ator from rotating blade and water displaced
by blade. Make sure splash hood is installed,
adjusted correctly, and used for all cuts. Make
sure splash hood mounting bracket is aligned and
positioned correctly. Promptly repair or replace
splash hood and bracket if damaged.

SIDE GRINDING. Never use side of blade to
grind tile. Doing so may cause tile to break or
explode, resulting in flying debris.

SMALL/NARROW WORKPIECES. Holding small
workpieces with fingers increases risk of work­piece and hands slipping and moving into blade.
Always support/feed small or narrow workpieces
with miter guide, push stick, push blocks, jig, vise,
or some type of clamping fixture.

FENCE. Make sure fence remains properly
adjusted and parallel with blade. Always lock
fence before using. Always lock miter guide when
in use.

DRY CUTTING. Cutting without water can pro­duce harmful airborne dust that can lead to
eye injury or respiratory illness. Reduce risk of
these hazards by ensuring water reservoir is
filled to minimum fill line during operations. Wear
approved eye and respiratory protection when
using saw.

CHANGING BLADES. Accidental startup while
changing blades can result in serious injury. To
reduce risk of accidental blade contact, always
disconnect power before changing blades. Always
check blade before operations and never use
damaged blade. Only use continuous rim wet
blades with this saw. Use of other blades could
result in flying debris or damage to machine.

FEEDING WORKPIECE. Feeding workpiece
incorrectly increases risk of chipping and opera­tor injury. Always allow blade to reach full speed
before cutting. Always feed workpiece from front
of saw, making sure workpiece is flat against
table, fence, or guide. Feed cuts through to com­pletion. Never start saw with workpiece touching
blade or pull workpiece from behind blade. Never
move workpiece sideways or perform a "free­hand" operation. Always wait for blade to come
to a complete stop before removing workpiece.
Do not force blade through workpiece as this
can cause chipping, flying debris, and damage
to machine. Reduce cutting force if you hear any
strain on motor.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.

Model T30945 (Mfd. Since 12/19)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

Drip Loop

After you have completed all previous setup
instructions and circuit requirements, the machine
is ready to be connected to the power supply.

To avoid unexpected startups or property dam­age, use the following steps whenever connect­ing or disconnecting the machine from the power
su pp ly.

1. Turn the machine power switch OFF.

2. Grasp the molded plug and pull it completely

out of the receptacle. DO NOT pull by the
cord as this may damage the wires inside.

Bench Mounting

Another option is a "direct mount" (see example
below) where the machine is secured directly to
the workbench with lag screws and washers.

The base of this machine has mounting holes
that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or
other mounting surface to prevent it from moving
during operation and causing accidental injury or
damage.

The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" (see example below) where holes are
drilled all the way through the workbench—and
hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to
secure the machine in place.

Connecting Power

When connecting the plug to an outlet, ensure the
lowest point of the cord loop is lower than the out­let the plug is connected to. This helps to ensure
water will "drip" from the cord and not get into the
power receptacle.

Switch

The switch can be disabled and locked by insert­ing a padlock through the ON/OFF paddle switch,
as shown. Locking the switch in this manner can
prevent unauthorized operation of the machine,
which is especially important if the machine is not
stored inside an access-restricted building.

IMPORTANT: Locking the switch with a padlock
only restricts its function. It is not a substitute
for disconnecting power from the machine when
adjusting or servicing.

Cutting Tips

To ensure the best possible results from this saw,
use the following tips.

• Move tile slowly through the cut to reduce
chipping.

• Ensure blade is consistently wet at point of
cut.

• If blade becomes dry, stop cutting.

• If motor sounds as if it is slowing or strug­gling, stop or reduce cutting speed.

• Slow down and ensure tile is still well sup­ported as you near end of the cut.

• Replace water in bath frequently.

• Clean, dress blade with a dressing stone, or
replace the blade when abrasive portion is
worn away or glazed.

NOTICE

The padlock shaft diameter is important to
the disabling function of the switch. With
any padlock used to lock the switch, test
the switch after installation to ensure that it
is properly disabled.

Changing Water

Never cut tile dry. The water bath reduces dust,
heat buildup on the blade, and prevents tile break­age. Replace bath with fresh water whenever
it becomes discolored, or you notice debris on
blade during operations.

Waste water must be disposed of in accordance
to local regulations and laws.

To change water:

Removing &

Installing Blade

The Model T30945 uses abrasive continuous-rim
blades. This type of blade does not cut and wear
like typical "toothed" blades, instead they cut and
grind simultaneously, making them perfect for
ceramics. To maintain the optimal cutting capabil­ity of your tile saw, the blade should be changed
when the abrasive portion of it has worn away
or becomes glazed over and dressing is not an
option.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,

maintenance, or service.

Schedule

For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.

Ongoing

To maintain a low risk of injury and proper
machine operation, if you ever observe any of the
items below, shut down the machine immediately
and fix the problem before continuing operations:

• Loose mounting bolts.

• Damaged blade.
Worn or damaged wires.

•
Any other unsafe condition.

•

Cleaning &

Protecting

Cleaning the Model T30945 is relatively easy.
Wipe off tile dust with a wet cloth. If dust has built
up in the bath or splash hood, use a mild soap
and warm water to remove it.

Protect the unpainted portions of the table by wip­ing it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from operations does not remain on bare metal
surfaces.

Lubrication

Sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings require
no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bear­ings are standard sizes, and replacements can be
purchased from our parts department or a bearing
supply store.

Weekly Maintenance

• Replace bath with fresh water.

• Clean table, rip fence, and miter guide.

• Check wear on blade and dress or replace as

necessary.

Monthly Check

• Thoroughly clean water bath.

Model T30945 (Mfd. Since 12/19)

Dressing Blade

The abrasive blade can dull over time but cannot
be sharpened like a normal saw blade. The abra­sive material of the blade can become covered by
adhesive material, dulling the blade prematurely.
Dressing the blade can re-expose the abrasive
and effectively "sharpens" the blade.

To dress the blade, slowly cut into a dressing
stone, as you would a tile, until the entire band
of abrasive passes through the stone. Repeat as
necessary.

stated in this manual, and study this section carefully.

If there are differences between your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-

nected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical com­ponents!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpre­dictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved after­market parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires dis­connected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual
when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious per­sonal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are expe­riencing difficulties understanding the information
included in this section, contact our Technical
Support at [phone].
