Lubrication
mastercraft
®
tools are properly lubricated at the factory, and are ready to use. when necessary, use a dry
silicone spray to lubricate parts that pivot or move.
General maintenance
before each use, inspect the blade, the blade guard, the switch, the water pump, the power cord and the
extension cord. check for loose screws, jamming, improper mounting, broken parts, and any other condition
that may affect the safe operation of the tile saw. if an unusual operating noise or vibration occurs, turn the
wet tile saw off, and correct the problem before using the saw again.

Cleaning

empty the water from the water tray after each use and before storing the wet tile saw.
Use a dry, clean rag to clean and dry all areas of the wet tile saw. Do not use solvents or other harsh
chemicals to clean the tile saw, because they are harmful to plastic and other insulated parts. petroleum-
based products, brakefluid, thinners, and ammonia
detergents are also harmful to the wet tile saw.

Removing the blade assembly

(Fig. 16)
1. Turn the power OFF and unplug the wet tile saw from
the power source.
2. Disconnect the water pump and remove it from the tray.
3. Loosen the four knobs (1) that hold the blade assembly
to the tray.
4. Lift the blade assembly up and out of the tray. Set the
blade assembly on a suitable work surface.
WARNING!
to avoid injury from unexpected start-up or electric shock, unplug the power cord before
attempting any inspection or maintenance.
