Porter-Cable 1500 Saw User Manual


 
13
Connect machine to power circuit.
NOTE: To avoid the possibility of the
appliance plug or receptacle getting
wet, position tile saw to one side of a
wall mounted receptacle to prevent
water from dripping onto the receptacle
or plug. The user should arrange a “drip
loop” Fig. 18, in the cord connecting the
saw to a receptacle. The “drip loop” is
that part of the cord below the level of
the receptacle, or the connector if an
extension cord is used, to prevent
water traveling along the cord and
coming in contact with the receptacle.
1. To start the machine, slide the
switch button (A) Fig. 19, down
until the switch locks into the ON
position.
2. To stop the machine, press on the
upper end of the switch button (A)
Fig. 20.
LOCKING SWITCH
N THE “OFF” POSITION
IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use,
the switch should be locked in the OFF
position using a padlock (A) Fig. 21, to
prevent unauthorized use of the tool.
OPERATING TILE SAW
Before operating the tool, make sure
the tile saw is assembled properly.
Fill water tray to fill line and be sure
pump is totally submerged. Check
water level and operation of pump
before each use.
To cut tile, place the tile on the cutting
tray and turn the machine on. Hold the
tile firmly against the cutting tray with
both hands.
Make sure your fingers
and hands are not in the cutting line of
the blade (A) Fig. 22A.
Push the cutting tray forward towards
the blade, feed the tile slowly and
evenly into the cutting blade until the
tile has been cut through completely.
Pull the tray backwards until the cutting
tray is in the rear most position and
remove the cut tile.
