WATER PUMP SAFETY GUIDELINES
Always plug the saw power cord into a GFCI
outlet when using. If a GFCI type outlet is not
available, use a plug-in type GFCI plugged into
a properly grounded outlet. Do not use any
temporary plug adapters.
•The water pump is equipped with a ground electrical
plug, to reduce the risk of possible shock. Be sure to
connect to a properly grounded type receptacle.
•Never pick the water pump up out of the water when it
is plugged in.
•DO NOT EVER use the water pump to pump anything
but water.
•Never service the pump when it is still plugged in.
•Never let the pump operate dry. It is self-cooled by
pumping water. Dry use will cause the pump to fail.
•Maintain regularly and clean out debris from intake
screen.
•Check the power cord for nicks or frays and never try
to alter the power cord in any way.
Install the Cutting Blade:
Always set the Motor Switch to OFF prior to
mounting the blade.
1. Be sure you are using the correct blade for the
material being cut. For example, blades are
available for cutting materials such as wall tile,
quarrytile,marble,slate and similarly hardmateri-
als. For the best results, always use genuine
FELKER ® diamond blades. Contact your near-
est dealer to select the correct blade for your spe-
cific cutting needs.
2. Rotate the Blade Guard (J) fully up, tightening the
wing nut if needed to hold it in the fully raised
position.
3. Remove the Blade Shaft Nut (L) and the Outer
Blade Flange (M2).
4. Check the Blade (K) for Counter Clockwise rota-
tion (CCW) and install on the spindle shaft.
Rotation direction is indicated by an arrow on one
side of the blade. Make sure the blade contact
surfaces are clean.
5. Install the Outer Flange (M2) with the large diam-
eter against the blade. Tighten the Blade Shaft
Nut (L) with the 15/16" Wrench (N) provided.
6. Lower the Blade Guard (J) and retighten the wing
nut to securely hold the guard in place.
• Install the Drain Plug (P) into the back end of the pan
and fill with clean water until inlet filter of water pump is
covered; about 6.5 gal. (25 l).
• Adjust the PanAssembly (3) to accommodate the size
of the tile to be cut and to obtain the most comfortable
position for the operator.

WARNING: Read the Operating Procedure
completely before operating your tile saw.
Take into account the working conditions from
the health and safety point of view.
Always pay extreme care and attention to the
preparation of the machine before starting.
Remove all wrenches and tools from the
machine.
Always keeps blade guard in place.
• Fill the Pan with enough water to fully submerge the
water pump screen. It takes approximately 6-1/2
gallons (25 l) to fill the Pan.
• Before connecting the power cord:
* Checkthespindlenut to be sureitis tight and that
the blade rotates freely.
WARNING: Check that the ON/OFF switch is in
the OFF position. Then connect the power cord
to a properly grounded outlet of the
correct voltage. See the decal near the power
cord for power requirements. If needed, use the
correct size three (3) conductor extension cord
to avoid excessive voltage drop. Never use lamp
cord type extensions. Refer to the
Recommended Extension Cords chart below.
• Turn the switch to ON. The blade should turn
counter-clockwise, when looking at the blade guard
side. Thewaterpump will start automatically whenthe
motor starts. Adjustment of the water supply may be
made by means of the Control Valve(G).
• Follow the blade manufacturer’s recommendations for
dryorwetcutting. Wetcuttingblades can be damaged
or destroyed without sufficient water. Only blades
specifically designed for dry cutting can be used with-
out coolant.
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.
1. When cutting smaller tile units, adjust the pan all
the way to the rear. The operator has full view and
control of the work with minimum stretching.
2. For cutting intermediate sized units, such as 8" or
10"tile, thepan canbe placedsomewhere between
themaximum forwardandmaximumrearpositions.
3. When cuttinglargerunits,thepanshould bemoved
to the maximum forward position, thus giving the
operator the best and most comfortrable position,
even when cutting 12" x 12" or larger units.
• 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.
4 OPERATING PROCEDURE 5 ADJUSTABLE LOCKBAR WITH DEPTH
LINKING PROTECTION
A Lockbar (26) is used to set the blade depth during
cutting. The lockbar has three (3) holes at the lower end
marked 10, 8 and 6.
These are used as depth-limiting settings that, if used with
the correct blade diameter, will protect the rolling cart from
being cut by the blade.
The three (3) holes in Lockbar:
10 - The lowest hole is for use with a 10" diameter
blade.
8 - The middle hole is for use with an 8" diameter
blade.
6 - The uppermost hole is for use with a 6" diameter
blade or profile wheel.
The Tile Master is shipped standard set-up for a
10" diameter blade. To change the setting, locate the
capscrew(27)usedas thepivot,loosen andremove theLock
Nut (29). Set the Lockbar (26) at the proper hole. Tighten
the fasteners so that the Lockbar (26) is free to pivot. Check
thesettingby loosening theKnob (30) andloweringthe head
fully down into the table slot. The blade segment should be
below the table surface, but not cutting into the table.

8 ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
2. Check the Parallel Alignment (See Figure 3)
* Theconveyor cartshouldtravelparallel tothe 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 parallel to the square, staying slightly in
contact with it throughoutitsfull travel. If the blade
doesnotstayincontact with thesquare,theParal-
lel alignment must be performed.
ParallelAlignment
* Theparallel tracking ofthecart can beadjustedby
moving the rails on which the cart travels. The
mounting holes in the pan are slotted to accom-
modate this adjustment.
* Align the inside rail first. Loosen the four (4)
1/4"-20fasteners(7/16"wrenches)locating thetwo
(2) Rails (R) so that both rails are free to move.
Movetheend(s) of railuntilthesquare is flushwith
the blade as described above. Tighten the fasten-
ers of this rail and recheck the alignment. Once
alignment has been made, move the cart fore and
aft to locate the second rail parallel to the first.
Tighten the remaining two fasteners.
Your Tile Master tile saw is factory assembled and aligned
prior to shipment to ensure accurate cuts when your saw is
delivered. However, since FELKER® 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) below.
There are two basic alignment checks for the Tile Master
and any adjustments made must follow these procedures to
ensure that the unit functions freely.
Adjustment tools required: Carpenter’s Square, two (2)
7/16" wrenches, and 5/32" hex key.
1. Check the Blade in Slot Alignment
* The blade should be centered in the conveyor cart
slot.
* Set-upyoursaw asdescribedabove and movethe
conveyor cart back and forth from 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 (See Figure)
* TheCuttingHeadAssemblyislocated betweenthe
Set Collars (A-B). Using a 5/32" hex key, loosen
these two set collars. Move the Head Assembly
alongthebar until the bladenolonger contacts the
slot. Re-locatetheSetCollars against thesidesof
the Cutting Head again and retighten the set
screws.
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 the motor cools, push in the reset
button. When it stays in, the motor can be restarted.
6 MANUAL THERMAL OVERLOAD
Good motor performance depends on proper
voltage. Extension cords that are too long
and/or too small in wire gauge reduce the
voltage to the motor under load. Use extension
cords no smaller than indicated below.

The Tile Master is designed for use with a FELKER® 6"
Profile Wheel, such as P/N 621081 or 621082.
• Raise the blade guard. Remove the spindle nut and
outer flange. Remove the tile saw blade if one has
beeninstalled. (Refer toSection5,AdjustableLockbar,
if needed)
• Installthe profilewheelonto thespindleshaftup against
the inner flange with the working surface to the outside.
• Secure into place by reversing the outer flange and
tightening the spindle nut. Lower the Blade Guard (J)
back down over the profile wheel.
• Locate the material for profiling:
1. Set the edge of the part to be shaped parallel to
the wheel.
2. Locate the material under the wheel. Pull the
ConveyorCart(4) with the materialfromunder the
wheel to set proper cutting height.
3. Loosen the Locking Knob (C) and lower the Cut-
ting Head (1) so that the wheel just slightly makes
contact with the material.
4. Secure the Cutting Head (1) into position with the
Locking Knob (C) for cutting.
5. Note: Profiling usually takes several light passes
to produce the best results. Set lower each time
until the desire depth has been reached.
If Water Stops Flowing,
1. Stop Sawing, then
2. Disconnect Electrical Plug from Outlet, then
3. Remove the Pump, then
4. Back Flush.
Backflushing isdonebyforcingwaterintothepumpdischarge
and out through the screen. Most of the time this procedure
works, and the pump can be put back into service. (See
Figure below)
If the back flushing does not work, remove the screen and
turn the impeller manually, looking for and rinsing out the im-
peller cavity of any dirt or foreign matter.
