WARNING!
of tile, marble, stone, bricks etc. can be injurious
to your health. Always operate machinery in well
ventilated areas and provide proper dust removal.
Always wear a dust mask approved for respiratory
protection against these types of dusts and mists.
2. Read and understand the symbol definitions
contained in this manual.
3. Read and understand all warnings and
instructions on the machine.
4. Read all safety materials and instructions that
accompany any blade or accessory used with
this machine.
5. Establish a training program for all operations
of this machine.
6. Always provide a copy of this manual to the
equipment user. If you need extra copies
call our Customer Service Department at
1-800-969-5561.
7. Always select a diamond blade according to
the manufacturers recommendation suitable
for the material to be cut. Never use a blade
having a maximum operating speed lower than
the “No load R.P.M.” marked on the tool
nameplate. Do not operate any saw without
safety guards in place or with a blade diameter
larger than the maximum saw blade capacity.
8. Before mounting a blade on the saw clean and
inspect the arbor shaft, blade flanges and the
diamond blade for uneven wear or damage. If
it appears to be damaged, Do not operate the
tool. Have it serviced by a qualified service
technician.
9. Before each use of the saw, inspect the

10. Be sure that the blade arbor hole matches the
lade adapter flange supplied with the saw.
b
Use only blade adapter flanges that came on
your saw. Never use damaged or worn blade
adapter flanges.
11. Installing the blade, install the blade with the
arrow pointing the same direction as the
rotation of the arbor shaft or the arrow on the
blade guard. Be sure to tighten the blade shaft
arbor nut with the wrench provided.
Be careful not to over tighten.
WARNING!
frequently or setting the blade too high will cause
it to grab the tile possibly causing injury to the
operator and the saw. Setting the blade depth too
low will cause it to cut into the main table that
may result in injury.
12. Check that the blade tracks near the center of
the channel in the main table, and that the table
moves freely from front to back.
13. Sometimes the material being cut is not
abrasive enough to expose new diamonds on
the blade. If the blade is not sharpened, it will
rub against the surface resulting in heat build
up in the core. To prevent this, it is necessary
to dress the blade. To dress the blade simply
cut something that is very abrasive such as a
piece of cement block. Indications that the
blade needs dressing includes:
• The diamond in the matrix appear shiny
because they are worn flat.
• The blade stops cutting or noticeably
slows down.
Blade dressing stones are available from your local Pearl
Warehouse.
14. Before using the saw fill the water tub enough
to submerge the water pump with clean water
only. Replenish as necessary and clean the
water tub frequently. Do not operate a wet
cutting blade without adequate water flow to
both sides of the blade. Never run the pump
dry.
15. When cutting, always hold the material firmly
lying flat, supported by the main table with one
edge resting against the main table backstop.
Not dressing the blade
– 9––
• Do not attempt to cut pieces too small to
safely hold down on the main table.
• Never use the side of the blade to cut or
grind with, only cut in a straight line.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the
blade and all other moving parts.
• Never touch or try to stop a moving blade
with your hand.
16. When cutting dry - always unplug the water
pump first. Never run the pump dry.
• Do not use a wet cutting blade for dry
cutting. Select the proper dry cutting
blade for your application.

• Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock.
• 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.
• Never make long continuous cuts with dry
cutting blades. To avoid heat build up,
allow the blade to cool, remove the tile
and allow the blade to run freely for a few
minutes.
IMPORTANT - If there is any tendency for the
saw to tip or move during certain operations,
such as when cutting large heavy tile; the saw
must be securely fastened to a supporting
table.
17. Make certain all adjusting knobs or locks are
tight and engaged in their detents and that
movable parts not intended to move during
operation are securely locked before making a

18. Before connecting the machine to a power
source check to see that the “On/Off” switch is
in the “off” position.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting
anything before connecting to a power
source and starting the motor.
• Know how to stop the machine quickly in
case of an emergency.
19. 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
• 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 is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one illustrated in Figure 6. The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure 6(A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in Figure 6(B) and 6(C), may be used
to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in
Figure 6(B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like,
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box.
NOTE - Use of a Temporary Adapter is not permitted
Note: USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTER IS NOT

GENERAL RULES
• Always clean the machine before performing any
maintenance/ repair.
• Before performing any cleaning/maintenance
/repair, the machine must be switched off with the
main power switch.
Steps to Follow When Cleaning:
• Please do not use aggressive cleaners (i.e.
containing solvents). Do not use high-pressure
water jets, aggressive detergents or solutions and
liquids with a temperature exceeding 86ºF! Use a
fluff-free cloth only.
• Use a cloth which may be lightly moistened only for
removing dust and dirt. Hard packed dirt can be
removed with a soft brush.
• For the sake of safety, no water/cleaning
liquid/vapor may penetrate into the electric motor,
connectors/plugs, switches, etc. Therefore cover
all apertures, holes in the housing, connectors or
plugs, etc. or seal them with adhesive tape!
• Use a soft, low-pressure water jet and a brush to
rinse dirt and incrustations away. Be particularly
careful when near hazardous parts of the machine
(e.g. switch, motor). Clean the motor and switches
only by wiping with a moist cloth.
• Do not “rinse” the bearings of the drive elements to
prevent them from running dry. The ball bearings
of the machine are permanently lubricated.
• After cleaning, remove all covers and adhesive
tape! All screws/nuts which you may have
loosened must be tightened again!
• After wet cleaning, try the machine on a power
outlet which is equipped with a power breaker (i.e.
fault current circuit breaker). If the fault current
circuit breaker cuts the power supply, the machine
must be inspected by an authorized dealer prior to
use!
CLEANING
After every use of the machine:
• Remove dirty water from container.
• Remove dirt and mud from the bottom of the
container.
• Rinse the immersion pump with fresh water to
prevent the water pump from clogging with
residual dirt.
After wet cleaning and before using the machine
again:
• Connect the machine to an electric power outlet
equipped with a “GFCI” safety power breaker. If the
safety power breaker cuts off the electrical power
supply, do not try to operate the machine but have
it checked by an autho-rized dealer first.
PROLONGED PERIOD OF NON-USE
Before not using the machine for a prolonged period
of time:
• Clean and lubricate all movable parts. However, do
not grease the guide rails.
After not using the machine for a prolonged period of
time:
• Check that the stand is safely fixed.

• To prevent the water in the pump and cooling
system from freezing, remove the water after using
the machine or when there will be a long break.
Make sure that the cooling system is entirely
drained so that there is no water left inside the
pump and water hose!
WATER PUMP MAINTENANCE
REALIGNMENT
When the machine has not been used for a long period of time,
ard packed dirt may begin to build up inside the pump and
h
block the pump wheel. If the machine is activated with the
immersion pump blocked, the electric motor of the pump will
be damaged within a few minutes! Please follow the steps
isted below to clean the pump before operating the saw:
l
1. Remove the immersion pump from the water container.
2. Clean the immersion pump.
3. Loosen the fixing screws of the pump lid.
4. Take the lid off the pump. Be careful not to damage or lose
the gasket underneath.
5. Clean the pump lid.
6. Remove all dirt and incrustations from the pump wheel.
7. Check whether the pump wheel can be easily turned.
8. Then reassemble the immersion pump correctly and check
whether it works properly.
BELT REPLACEMENT
1. Unplug the saw before proceeding any further.
Method 1:
This procedure deals with the most common source of
misalignment that occurs when the guide rails are not parallel
ith the blade.
w
1. Set the cutting depth such that the blade passes through the
table, not over.
2. Place a straight edge (i.e. carpenter’s square) on the cutting
table as shown in Figure 9.
3. Loosen the left and right guide rails by loosening the
fasteners found at the ends of the rail. See Figure 9. The left
rail should be slightly loose, so there is not too much play
during adjustments, but the right rail should move freely.

2. Loosen and remove the four bolts located above and
below the belt guard and then remove the belt guard. See
Figure 8
3. Loosen the four bolts located at the base of the motor.
4. Use a hex wrench to access the socket hex bolt located at
the rear of the cutting head. Turn wrench to move the
motor forward, thus providing some slack in the belt.
5. Remove existing belt and replace with a new belt.
6. Perform steps 1 through 4 in reverse to tension the belt
and reinstall the belt guard. Make sure the belt is at the
proper tension before tightening the four bolts at the base
of the motor.

4. Make sure the short portion of the straight edge is placed
flush against the ruler guide. Adjust the left guide rail so
that the front and rear edges of the blade touch the straight
edge, although a tolerance of 0.1mm between the front and
rear edges is allowed. Perform this adjust-ment along the
entire length of the straight edge.
5. Position the table as close to the user as possible. Place the
straight edge flush against the ruler guide and blade.
Without holding onto the straight edge, gently move the
table towards the rear of the saw and then back. Observe
any gaps that may appear between the straight edge and
blade or between the straight edge and ruler guide. A gap
exceeding the allowed tolerance means that the table is not
moving parallel to the blade; hence, further adjustments as
outlined in step 4 will be required. However, if scenario A
or B described below occurs, other adjustments may be
required instead.
A. If the straight edge only touches the blade when the
table is positioned midway along the rail or at the
ends of the rail, then the rail may be deformed (i.e.
bowed). See Figure 10. Perform test cuts to
determine if the rail should be replaced. Typically a
bowing displacement of up to 0.2mm will not affect
cutting accuracy.
– 13 –
Figure 10
B.If the straight edge touches both edges of the
blade intially, but shifts apart as the table travels
along the rail, proceed to method 2 below.
6. Tighten the fasteners at both ends of the left rail.
7. Adjust the right guide rail so that the horizontal rollers
underneath the table engage the rail as shown in Figure
11. In most cases the rollers will not have to be vertically adjusted. Spacing between rails must be equidistant at all points to ensure that they are parallel. Once
adjustments are made, lightly tighten the fasteners on the
right rail and move the table back and forth. If the table
binds against the rail at any point, adjust spacing
accordingly until the table moves smoothly.
. Lift the saw up from within the water tray and place it on
1
a flat level surface. Use the universal wrench to loosen
(but do not remove) the fasteners from either end of both
guide rails. Move each rail away from the other, so that
he horizontal rollers are clear of the right guide rail. See
t
Figure 12.
2. Remove rubber cap A on the left side of the table. Loosen the exposed lock nut using a 13mm socket wrench.
Use a flat screwdriver to turn the shaft of the roller clockwise to lower it by approximately 3/8". See Figure 13.
Evenly lift up the table to disengage the guide rollers from
the left guide rail. Once the guide rollers are clear, shift
the table to the right to clear the left horizontal roller of
the rail. Remove the table from the guide rails. See
Figure 14.

8. Tighten the fasteners at both ends of the right rail.
If alignment has been achieved, do not proceed to method 2.
Method 2:
This procedure corrects another source of misalignment that
occurs when the table’s orientation is not parallel with the
guide rails.

3. If the table shifts to the right as it travels away from the
user, a shim needs to be added to the guide roller furthest from the ruler guide. On the other hand, if the table
shifts to the left, a shim needs to be added to the guide
roller closest to the ruler guide. Remove the appropriate
guide roller to insert a shim between the roller and table,
then reattach. See Figure 15. Depending on the severity of
the shift, more than one shim may be required.

Fasteners
4. After adding shim(s), mount the table onto the guide rails
by reversing the instructions in step 2. Move the rails
toward each other to engage the horizontal rollers to the
right guide rail as shown in Figure 11. Realign the table
to the blade using method 1. Check to see if any shifting
persists. A shift tolerance of 0.2mm is allowed. A shift
in excess of that will require further adjustment—repeat
step 3.

2. Loosen the socket bolts on the flat roller plate so that the
oller can swing freely about one bolt. See Figure 16. Do
r
this for both flat roller plates.
. Hold the table against the guide rails. The flat rollers
3
should reposition themselves to maintain contact with the
guide rails. If the table is not perpendicular to the blade,
lift the right side of the table instead to obtain the proper
angle. A square tool will be required to confirm the angle.
Tighten the socket bolts. Check the table for play. Repeat
step 2 if some play is still present.
4. Restore the horizontal rollers to their original positions as
shown in Figure 11 by reversing the instructions in step
1. Be sure to tighten the lock nuts and replace the rubber
caps.
Figure 16
5. Once alignment is successful, replace saw back into the
water tray.
LEVELING ADJUSTMENT
This procedure levels the table so that it is perpendicular to
the blade and flush against the rails.
1. Remove rubber caps B and C on the right side of the
table. Loosen the exposed lock nuts using a socket
wrench. Next, use a flat screwdriver to turn the shaft of
the rollers clockwise. See Figure 13. This will lower the
horizontal rollers to allow room for adjusting the flat
rollers.
