SAW MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Do not service, clean or maintain the saw
without first turning off the motor and unplugging the saw
from it's power source. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury to the operator.

"TRUING" THE CUTTING TABLE

"Truing" the cutting table may be required occasionally.
The saw blade must be 90˚ to the "tile stop" on the
cutting table to insure accurate cuts, and prevent blade
"binding" while cutting tile.
Fig P1
With a carpenter's square, place one edge against the
blade and the other edge against the "tile stop", at the
back of the cutting table (Fig P1). Be sure the inch marks
are aligned (Fig P2).
Fig P3
If the blade does not run flush along the edge of the
carpenter's square (Fig P3) adjustments need to be made.
Slightly loosen the nuts at each end of the Guide Rail (Fig
P4).
Fig P5
Adjust each end of the Guide Rail to align the Cutting
Table until the blade path is completely flush with the
square (Fig P5). Once aligned, carefully tighten the nuts
at both ends of the Guide Rail . (Fig P6).
