Operation
Preparing to Cut:
1. Mark the tile you wish to cut and place it aside for a moment.
2. Fill the Tank with water as described in “Installing the Water Supply,” above.
3. Plug the Pump’s Power Cord into the Power Unit. Make sure the Pump Power
Cord is positioned so it will remain in a dry location once the machine is in use.
If an extension cord is used, make sure it is of appropriate size and length
-see
Recommended Minimum Wire Gauge for Extension Cords
page 5.
4. When it is safe to do so, plug the Power Unit Cord into an appropriate outlet.
5. Put on your ANSI-approved eye protection.
6. Flip the Power Switch located on the front of the Motor (see Fig. 2 on Page 11)
to the “on” position.
7. Before operating the Tile Saw, let the Motor run for approximately one minute.
Make sure the Blade is rotating at full speed and there are no unusual noises.
If you feel the unit is not operating properly, do not use this tool.
8. To keep the pump working properly, the water in the tub may need to be
changed in the middle of a long project. Never allow the water to become
muddy or full of silt. When changing the water, always rinse out the intake of
the pump in clean water to help prevent silt buildup.
9. When finished, flip the power switch to the “off” position, unplug the unit, dispose
of the dirty water in an appropriate manner, rinse the pump’s inlet, and clean
any silt out of the bottom of the tank.
Cutting Tile:
1. Place your marked tile on the Table and brace it against the upturned edge
(Fence) on the back of the Table. Align the cut mark with the Blade.
2. Once the Tile Saw has been turned on, allow the Blade to spin up to full speed.
Watch to be sure that the Pump is supplying a continuous flow of water to the
Blade.
3. Keeping your hands clear of the Blade, move the Table and the tile underneath
the Blade. Feed the tile underneath the Blade very slowly. Do not force it. If the
rotational speed of the Blade slows down significantly, then you are forcing the
tile. No spectators should be allowed in the working area.
4. While cutting, watch to be sure that the Blade remains wet. If it runs dry, check
the action of the Pump and the Water level of the Tub.
