THIS MANUAL MUST ACCOMPANY THE EQUIPMENT AT ALL TIMES.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Engine exhaust and some of its constituents, and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drillingandotherconstructionactivities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Leadfromlead-basedpaints. Crystallinesilicafrombricks. Cementandothermasonryproducts. Arsenicandchromiumfrom chemically treatedlumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, dependingonhowoftenyoudothistype of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in aALWAYS well ventilated area, and work with

approved safety equipment, such as

dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORY WARNINGS

WARNING

SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions mentioned above.

WARNING

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.

Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the materials being used.

TP24 TILE SAW • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #2 (04/12/12) — PAGE 11

GENERAL INFORMATION

The TP2 4 i s a powerful, robust saw designed to professionally handle large-sized cuts on ceramics, stone, and masonry materials. A sturdy steel precision frame and easily removable ABS water tray provides overall durability and longevity.

This saw is equipped with a trusted high-torque 2 HP electric motor that operates on standard 115 V power and is designed with thermal overload and fan air cover protection.

An innovative water-cooled bearing assembly works in conjunction with the water pump to keep key bearing components running cooler.

The TP24 saw comes complete with premium blade and high ﬂow water pump.

DRY CUTTING APPLICATIONS

The TP24 tile saw is shipped from the factory for wet-cutting saw applications, however it can be used for dry-cutting saw applications. The most import thing to remember is to disconnect the water pump. The water pump is cooled by the ﬂow of water, and failure to disconnect the pump (when running dry) will cause pump failure.

NOTICE

NEVER have the water pump engaged when dry cutting applications are involved.

BLADE APPLICATIONS

ACCESSORIES/REPLACEMENT PARTS

If desired, the TP24 tile saw can be equipped with a support stand with wheels. This stand is ideal when the saw needs to be placed on a secure reliable platform.

FEATURES

 Rugged Portable Frame Assembly — Sturdy steel

frame design with handles for easy transport.

 Electric Induction Motor — UL/CSA approved 115 V

60 Hz, 2 HP electric motor with thermal overload and fan cover protection.

 Water Tray — Sturdy ABS water tray that is easily

removable for cleaning.

 Cutting Table — Rugged cast aluminum table with

heavy-duty injected molded rubber padding and extension table. Industrial ball bearing rollers ensure smooth, precise cart movement.

 Water Pump — Powerful, maintenance-free, submersible

pump provides high volume water ﬂow.

 Water-Cooled Blade Shaft Bearing Assembly — High

ﬂow water circulating system designed to keep crucial bearing components running cooler.

 Blade Guard — Hardy cast guard with blade brushes

designed to evenly distribute water to the blade, and to easily position for blade changes.

This saw has been designed to incorporate the use of diamond blades as the cutting tool. The optimum performance of this saw is best evidenced by using 10-inch (254 mm) diamond blades that match the material being cut. Ask your dealer, or call Multiquip about your speciﬁc cutting application.

PAGE 14 — TP24 TILE SAW • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #2 (04/12/12)

SAW COMPONENTS

Figure 2 shows the location of the basic components of the TP24 saw. Listed below is a brief explanation of each component.

1. AC Power Cord — Plug this cord into a 125 VAC receptacle when starting of the electric motor is required.

2. V-belt Cover — Remove this cover to access the drive V-belt. NEVER operate the saw with the V-belt cover removed

3. Rubber Splash Guard — Keeps water from splashing from the blade.

4. Electric Motor — This unit uses a 115V, 60 Hz, 2 HP electric motor.

5. Overcurrent Breaker Button — When a thermal overload condition exists, press this button to reset the breaker. Allow time for the electric motor to cool down before reseting the breaker.

6. Cutting Blade — This unit uses a 10-inch (254 mm) premium diamond blade. Always use recommended Multiquip cutting blades. When mounting of the cutting blade is required, remove the spindle bolt and outside blade ﬂange. Align cutting blade with inside ﬂange arbor and reassemble spindle and outside blade ﬂange.

7. Cutting Head Handle — Grab hold of this handle to control the movement of the cutting head.

8. Power ON/OFF Switch — To turn on the saw place in the ON position. Place in the OFF position to shut down the saw.

9. Water Pump Power Receptacle — Plug the water pump power cord into this AC receptacle.

10. Blade Guard — Protects the user from the cutting blade. NEVER operate the saw with the blade guard removed.

11. Blade Guard Adjustment Knob — Turn knob clockwise to loosen and remove blade guard. Turn counterclockwise to tighten.

12. Blade Guard Brushes — Prevents foreign matter and debris from accumulating on the saw blade. Replace brushes immediately when they become worn or damaged.

13. Cutting Table — Place material to be cut on this rubber padded table. For ease of cutting, this table has been placed on rails so that it can easily slide back and forth.

14. Ruler Backstop — When cutting, place material against backstop. Use measurement rail (ruler) to determine where material is to be cut.

15. Stopper — Place stopper in water tray when ﬁlling with water.

16. Bearing Housing — Houses permanently lubricated ball bearings to allow motor shaft to rotate smoothly.

17. Cutting Head Adjustment Knob — Turn knob clockwise to loosen and position cutting head to desired height. Turn counterclockwise to tighten.

18. Water Tray — When wet cutting is required, ﬁll with clean fresh water. Make sure submersible pump is totally immersed in water.

19. Electric Water Pump — The electric water pump for this saw requires 115 VAC. Plug power cord of electric water pump into AC receptacle located on conduit box. NEVER run pump dry. Pump must be immersed in water.

20. Water Lines — Replace the clear vinyl tubing water lines when they become brittle, worn or clogged. Water kits are available through your Multiquip dealer.

21. Maintenance Wrench — Use this multi-purpose wrench when performing maintenance or repairs on the saw.

22. Rear Drip Tray — Rear drip tray increases the surface area for collecting water and slurry to prevent spillage.

23. MasterGuide Template Base — Mounts to ruler backstop to ensures precision while making cuts.

24. Water LInk Hose — Recycles water from the bearing housing back into the water tray.
