•
Use a GFCI when wet sawing.
•
Use the correct plug and outlet.
•
Check that the main voltage is identical to that of
the machine.
•
Extension cord: Use the correct size extension
cord. Be certain that the cord is in good service
condition.
•
If, on position 1 (on), motor does not run:
check the electric power on the site (fuses,
cutouts, sockets, etc);
check the extension

Operating Procedures

•
Always be very careful.
•
Find a comfortable, well-balanced
position.
•
Always keep protective casing in
place while working.
•

stand.
•
Fill the holding tank with clean water [holds 9.3
quarts (8 liters).
•
Plug the machine into the power outlet and turn
the motor switch to the on position.
CUTTING TABLE
THE CUTTING TABLE IS MARKED IN INCHES AND
MILLIMETERS TO MAKE YOUR DIMENSIONAL
CUTS ACCURATE.
STEPS FOR POSITIONING THE 90 DEGREE RIP
•
Slide the rip guide onto the table backstop from
one end. (Fig 17)
•
Set the rip guide by positioning it at the desired
point on the front end of the cutting table front lip
and flipping down the thumb lock until the rip guide
is firmly locked in place. (Fig 18) Note that the
thumb lock will hold accessory firmly in place
without using the full travel of the thumb lock.

being used (faulty
Additional movement is designed for any long
term wearing that may be experienced.
Unnecessary clamping with the thumb lock could
raise the end of the accessory up off the table
surface.
•
The rip guide can be used for straight 90° cuts
from both the left and right sides.
•
After the rip guide is positioned for the desired cut,
place material flush against the rip guide and the
measurement rail.
•
Now you are ready to make your cut.
CUTTING DEPTH
The 8" (200mm) blade capacity yields a cutting depth
of 1 5/8" (41,2mm).
After completing any work, switch off the
machine. There is no point in leaving the
motor running and the blade turning.
QUICK TIPS FOR WATER PUMP OPERATION
If you are having trouble getting water flow properly
through the water pump, try this:
•
First, check to see that the pump is fully
submerged in water. Fill the water tray with clean
water to completely cover the pump.
•
Second, check to see if all tubing is connected to
the pump correctly and its feeds are properly
attached.
Sometimes the tubing is not pushed far enough into its
attachment, allowing water to escape at the
attachment point. Simply push tubing firmly into fitting
until it stops and will not pull back out.
•
Third, if there is a problem getting water to flow
out properly, check the water control valve setting
on the front of the pump. It can be adjusted from
"Min" to "Max" (Fig 19)
Often times the water control valve is set to "Min" and
is not capable of pumping enough water when first
turned on. This is easily corrected by turning the valve
to "Max" and then adjusting to the desired water flow.
•
Fourth, if problems still persist, there is also a
chance that debris or sediment is clogging the
water pump intake screen, the pump impeller or
inside the tubing.
Clearing these areas with fresh water can
-
alleviate the clogging. The build up sediment
needs to be cleaned from the bottom of the
Water Tray and the intake screen cleaned. Fill
tray with fresh water.
- With pump intake removed, look inside the
area impeller and check for debris. Clean as
needed with fresh water. (Fig 20)
- If the tubing is clogged, remove ends from the
water pump and Blade guard fitting. Flush
with fresh water until all debris is removed and
reconnect tubing. (Fig 10 & 11)
