Wet cutting blades can be damaged or destroyed
without sufficient water. Only blades specifically
designed for dry cutting can be used without cool-
ant.
The water supply should be adequate, with
water flowing on both sides of the blade.
Keep the water clean and make certain the WATER
LEVER IS ALWAYS ABOVE THE PUMP INLET.
Do not run the water pump dry!! Unplug for dry
cutting.
•
For straight cuts, position the tile squarely against the
back edge of the conveyor cart. Keep the cart clean
and free of cuttings. The standard rip guide is used.
•
Move the conveyor cart slowly and carefully until the
blade is in contact with the tile. The blade needs a
chance to "break-in" or "wear-in" slightly. It may take
about ten cuts to open a new blade for best cutting.
This machine features an adjustable water pan
assembly which is guided to maintain squareness
accurately. The pan adjustment is easy; spring-tensioned
latches hold the pan firmly against the frame. Flip up
the four latches and slide the pan forward or back to the
position best suited for the operator and the material being
cut. Then re-set the latches.

MANUAL THERMAL OVERLOAD
The motor is equipped with a manual overload protection
reset button. If the motors overheats, the red reset button
will "pop out" to open the motor circuit; stopping the motor
and water pump. If this occurs , the motor ON/OFF switch
must be set to "OFF". After motor the cools, push in the re-
set button. When it stays in, the motor can be restarted.

RECOMMENDED EXTENSION CORDS
Good motor performance depends on prop-
er voltage. Extension cords that are too long
and/or too small in wire gauge reduce the
v o l t a g e t o t h e m o t o r u n d e r l o a d .
extension cords no smaller than indicated below.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
Your saw is factory assembled and aligned pri-
o r t o s h i p m e n t t o e n s u r e a c c u r a t e c u t s w h e n
your saw is delivered. However, since we cannot
control rough handling during shipping, it is suggested that
the alignment be checked. If the saw is found in need of
adjustment, refer to the appropriate section(s) following.
There are two basic alignment checks for the saw
a n d a n y a d j u s t m e n t s m a d e m u s t f o l l o w t h e s e
procedures to ensure that the unit functions freely.
Adjustment tools required: Carpenter's Square, two (2)
7/16" wrenches, 1/2" wrench and 5/32" hex key.
1. Check the Blade in Slot Alignment: The blade should
be centered in the conveyor cart slot.
•
Set-up your saw as described above, move the
conveyor cart back and forth form the front to the rear
of the pan. If the blade contacts either side of the
slot, the Cutting Head Location Adjustment must be
performed.
Cutting Head Location Adjustment: The Cutting
Head Assembly (R) is located between to Set Col-
lars.
•
Using a 5/32" hex key, loosen these two (2) set col-
lars. Next, loosen the four (4) 5/16"-18 locknut nuts
(1/2" wrench) that clamp the bearing caps to the pivot
bar. Move the Head Assembly along the bar until the
blade no longer contacts the slot. Relocate the set
collars against the sides of the Cutting Head again and
re-tighten the set screws. Re-tighten the capscrews
on the bearing caps.
2. Check the Parallel Alignment: The conveyor cart
should travel parallel to the plane of the blade.
•
Place a square rule against the backstop, lightly in
contact with the blade. The blade surface should be
parallel to the square; i.e., no gap between the blade
and the square at either the front or back edge of
the blade. Next, holding the square firmly, traverse
the cart fore and aft. The blade should remain par-
allel to the square, staying slightly in contact with it
throughout its full travel. If the blade does not stay in
contact with the square, the Parallel alignment must be
performed.
Parallel Alignment
•
The parallel tracking of the cart can be adjusted by
moving the rails on which the cart travels. The
U s e
mounting holes in the pan and the rail support are
slotted to accommodate this adjustment.
Align the inside rail first. Loosen the eight (8) 1/4"-20
100' Cord
fasteners (7/16" wrenches) locating the two (2) rails
230V
so that both rails are free to move. Move the end(s) of
#8
rail until the square is flush with the blade as described
above. Tighten the fasteners of this rail and recheck
#8
#14
the alignment. Once alignment has been made, move
the cart fore and aft to locate the second rail parallel to
#8
#12
the first. Tighten the remaining four fasteners.
