ELECTRICAL
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
**Ampere rating (on tool data plate)
0-2.0 2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0

**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 6,500 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.
This tool 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 can 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. 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.
7 — 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.
POSITION OF THE TILE SAW
See Figure 2.
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 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.

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 miter guide whenever possible.
Another problem is cutting difficult material. To prevent chipping of the material at the end of the cut, use a plunge cut.
Clean the saw table and miter guide frequently during use. Debris from the cut material can interfere with tool function.
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT
See Figure 22.
Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into the cut at a 90° angle to the wheel.
Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
Place the material on the table and firmly against the
sliding table 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. 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 sliding table 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.
TO MAKE A DIAGONAL CUT
See Figure 23.
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.

TO MAKE A MITER CUT
See Figure 24.
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 miter guide.
Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
Install the miter guide to the left of the wheel. Set the miter guide to desired angle using the miter guide
scale, and tighten securely with lock knob.

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 normal 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 28.
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. Using a hex key, loosen cap bolts on the left rail. Place a framing square against the fence and the flat part
of the wheel.
Move the rail until the fence is square with the cutting
wheel.
Tighten the cap bolts securely.
TO ADJUST THE LOWER TABLE ROLLERS
See Figure 29.
If the table doesn’t slide smoothly, seems too loose on the rails, moves side to side, or is visibly off track adjustments may be required.
To adjust if the table is loose:
Loosen the cam bolt nut. Insert hex key through the hole in the left side of the table
and adjust bolt as needed.
Once the rollers are touching the rail, tighten the cam bolt
nut securely. Repeat for each roller as required.
NOTE: Check that rollers are sliding properly after each
