Prior To Operation - DeWalt D36000 Original Instructions Manual

Locking the Cutting Cart (Fig. Q)
The cutting cart can be locked in the following positions:
‑ Front position (cutting disc freely accessible)
‑ Plunge position (cutting disc over middle of cutting cart)
‑ Outfeed position (cutting disc at fence)
1. Move the cutting cart 11 to the desired position.
2. Lock the cutting cart by rotating the pin lock
Adjusting the Water Nozzles (Fig R1–R3)
Water nozzles 17 are adjustable to provide maximum water for cutting and maximum cut
capacity with the minimum amount of overspray and mist. The adjusting lever
adjustment of nozzles to desired position.
• Optimum position for minimum overspray (Fig. R1).
• Water nozzles 17 can be fully retracted to allow for maximum cut capacity (Fig. R2).
• "Off Cutting Disc" position to eliminate water overspray between cuts and for the cutting
disc change (Fig. R3).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms of table height
and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and
enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece
without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment temperature is not too cold,
machine and accessory is well maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for this machine.

WARNING:
• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
• Check that the machine has been set up securely.
• Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
• Make sure the cutting disc is not contacting the workpiece before the machine is
switched on.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the machine. Do not force the cutting action.
• Keep your hands out of the path of the cutting disc. Do not place your hands within
the marked area on the cutting cart assembly.

Prior to Operation

• Place the tile saw on a horizontal, stable, non-slip surface.
• Install the appropriate cutting disc.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
• Fill the water basin with the sufficient amount of water for the water pump to be
fully submerged.
• Use only clean water. No other liquid should be used.

knob and slide the cutting cart back until it stops. It can be set to three different positions
based on the users preference.
• A: Unlock Position: Remove & install cutting cart
• B: Position 1: 90 cm cut capacity. Cutting cart extends past the frame.
• C: Position 2: 45 cm cut capacity. Cutting cart stops at the edge of the frame.

General Handling
• Try a few simple projects using scrap material until you develop a "feel" for the machine.
• Always make dry runs (without power) before finish cuts so that you can check the path of
the cutting disc.
Vertical Straight Cross Cut (Fig. U, Y)
1. Set the bevel angle to 0°.
2. Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc into a suitable position.
3. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, with the finished side up. Align
the marking on the workpiece with the marking in the kerf indicator.
allows easy
4. Keep both hands away from the path of the cutting disc.
5. Switch the machine on and allow the cutting disc to reach full speed. Wait until the
cutting disc is completely covered with water.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the cutting disc, keeping it firmly pressed against the fence.
Do not force. The cutting disc speed should be kept constant.
nOTE: The cutting disc cover can be rotated up to help align the line on the tile with the
cutting disc. Loosen the bolt
cutting disc cover.
7. After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the cutting disc to stop and
remove the workpiece.
Bevel Cross-Cut (Fig. U)
Bevel angles can be set at 22.5° and 45°.
1. Loosen the bevel adustment knob
2. Tighten the bevel adustment knob firmly.
3. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Diagonal Cut (Fig. V)
The edge guide 19 allows cutting of angles at 45°.
1. Place the edge guide with the mounting bracket over the fence.
2. Flip the edge guide into position for the required application:
‑ Flip the edge guide to the right for cutting small pieces from large tiles.
‑ Flip the edge guide to the left for any other application.
3. Set the edge guide to the required distance.
4. Tighten the knob

5. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Plunge Cut (Fig. W)
A plunge cut is used to remove the centre of a tile, e.g. for electrical outlets, drains, etc.
1. Mark the area to be cut on both sides of the tile.
2. Fit the appopriate size of cutting disc.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to allow the cutting disc to saw only halfway through
the workpiece.
4. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, with the finished side up. Align
the marking on the workpiece with the marking in the kerf indicator.
5. Switch the machine on and allow the cutting disc to reach full speed. Wait until the
cutting disc is completely covered with water.

Grooving (Fig. T)
A groove is made into a tile e.g. to accommodate hidden wiring.
1. Adjust the cutting depth as required.
2. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, with the down side up. Align
the marking on the workpiece with the marking in the kerf indicator.
