CONNECTING A DRAINAGE HOSE (NOT
INCLUDED)
See Figure 16, page 20.
Always place a drainage hose (not provided) into a small bar-
rel or bucket so water and debris can drain from water tray.
 Unscrew the cap from the drainage output.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is suf-
ficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not recom-
mended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of at-
tachments or accessories not recommended can result
in serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
 Straight line cutting operations such as mitering, ripping,
and beveling
NOTE: This saw is designed to cut man-made tile, pavers,
and stone tile products only.
USING THE FLOW CONTROL VALVES
See Figures 17 - 18, page 20.
When using the PUMPLESS FLOW SYSTEM™, the pan flow
control valve allows you to adjust the water flowing onto the
wheel. With the arm flow control valve turned on, turn the pan
flow control valve fully open, then close as needed to control
any overspray. Make sure enough water flows through so the
wheel always remains wet during cutting. Once the optimal
flow rate is achieved, use the arm flow control valve to turn
the water to the wheel on and off.
When using the optional pump (not included), the pan flow
control valve remains in the off position and the arm flow
control valve is used to adjust the flow of water to the wheel.
ASSEMBLY
 Attach a drainage hose to the drainage output and place
other end of the hose into a bucket or barrel.
 Do not overflow the bucket or spill water on the ground
near the machine.
 Discard waste water in accordance with local regulations.

OPERATION

USING AN OPTIONAL WATER PUMP (NOT
INCLUDED)
See Figures 19 - 22, page 21.
An optional water pump (part no. 080009002119 ) can be in-
stalled to recirculate water from the tray to the cutting wheel.
To install:
 The pump is equipped with suction feet to secure in place.
Press down firmly on the pump to attach the feet to the
bottom of the water tray.
 Place the water pump's electrical cord under the frame rails
and over the left side of the frame as shown in figure 20.
 Push the end of the 90° fitting into the hole on top of the
water pump.
 Connect the clear hose to the barbed end of the 90°
fitting.
 Position the pump as shown in figure 19, with the hose
end of the fitting facing the rear of the tray.
 Push back the rubber boot on the electrical cord and
plug the pump into the receptacle. Pull boot over cord
connections to help keep water off the plug.
To control the flow of water using the pump:
 Make sure the drainage output cap is installed securely,
then add clean water to the water tray up to the max fill
line.
 Locate the "Max/Min" water flow selector on the pump.
For best performance, set the flow to "Max" to control
the flow of water over the wheel.
 The pump turns on when the motor is turned on. Let the
cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel
to get wet before moving the material into the wheel.
NOTE: Use the arm flow control valve to control the flow
of water to the wheel.
ON/OFF SWITCH
See Figure 23, page 21.
Your saw is equipped with an on/off switch that has a built-in
locking feature. This feature is intended to prevent unauthor-
ized and possible hazardous use by children and others.
TO TURN YOUR SAW ON:
 With the switch key inserted into the switch, lift the switch
button to turn ON.
