Inland SwapTop 10630 User manual
Maintenance
• Always unplug the unit when cleaning.
• We recommend after wet use to drain any remaining coolant: The debris from
many materials has a tendency to harden. Rinse and dry the reservoir and re-
movable work surface.
• After dry use empty or vacuum the reservoir of debris and then wipe down and
dry the reservoir and removable work surface.
• Never allow the yellow motor unit to get wet or immerse it in water. Use a
vacuum to remove any debris from the bottom air vents on the unit.
• Always secure blades to the flat side of the motor shaft.You can use a thin coat-
ing of Inland MotorShaft Lubricant™ (Inland no. 50028) or petroleum jelly to help
keep the arbor from seizing on the shaft.
• Check the power cord periodically for cuts or damage.
• Check all coolant lines and tubes to see that they are not clogged.

tions to understand the correct components, set-up, and use of your machine.
Safety
Always wear safety glasses or goggles.You can use a FaceShield™ or Mag-
naShield™ for additional protection.
Plug into a grounded electrical system. Do Not override the grounding system.
If your motor unit has a speed control feature, make sure that you set it at the
maximum speed for proper operation.
Always unplug your machine when switching between set-ups, installing blades,
and making adjustments.
Place on a sturdy, level, water tolerant surface at a comfortable working height.

Swapping the Tops
1. Unplug the machine
2. If you are using the WaterDrip system, turn off the flow and disconnect the feed
tube from the blade guard.
3. Push in on the spring loaded latches to release the top from the base and then
lift straight up to remove.
4. Loosen the blade arbor (with blade attached) using the allen wrench provided
and remove from the motor shaft.
5. Drain any remaining coolant from the blade well and wipe dry.
6. Follow the instructions provided in the conversion kit to install it onto the base.
Setting-Up the SwapTop Table Saw
1. Make sure the machine is unplugged. If you were set
up as a grinder or flat lap, remove all diamond tools,
work surfaces, and reservoirs. You should have only
the open machine base and yellow motor unit.
2. Mount the saw blade on the blade arbor with the blade
teeth positioned to saw downward. (If you are using
a diamond blade, this is not applicable.) Secure the
blade using the blade arbor nut with the unthreaded
side toward the blade and tighten using the provided
wrench. The threads are reverse threads so the nut
tightens by turning it to the left (counterclockwise).
3. Slide the arbor with mounted blade onto the motor
shaft. Position the blade and arbor so the blade will
rest approximately in the center of the saw blade well.
Don’t tighten yet, exact positioning will be done in the
next step.
4. Set the motor unit (with blade mounted loosely) into
the machine base. Press down on the motor unit
slowly, yet firmly until you feel it seat in the base. It will
locate snugly. Slide the arbor to the center of the saw
blade well. Tighten the blade arbor set screw to the flat
portion of the motor shaft using the 5/64” allen wrench
provided.
5. While holding the spring loaded latches in, lower the
work surface straight down onto the base. Push down
to allow the latches snap into place. You should be
able to lift the entire machine by the work surface
without it disengaging. Verify that the motor unit is un-
plugged. Turn the blade by hand to make sure it does
not rub against the sides of the metal work surface. If
necessary, reposition the blade arbor so that the blade
will spin freely.
6. Set the blade guard in position in the slot provided on
the work surface, behind the blade. Check the blade
to make sure there is no interference between the
blade, guard, and the work surface by plugging in the
saw and turning the switch on and off quickly. The saw
should run smoothly and quietly. If the blade makes
contact with anything repeat Steps 4-6 until it turns
properly.
Sawing With Your SwapTop
Dry Sawing
1. Turn on the saw
2. Place your material flat on the table. Slowly feed it into
the blade. Allow the blade to do the cutting. Too much
pressure will slow the cutting process.
3. If you feel the blade binding, make sure you are
feeding material slowly and straight into the blade.
Using the protractor or optional rip fence (Inland no.
69801661) to help guide material may help alleviate this.
3. NEVER cut anything thicker than the blade height above the work surface.
Wet Sawing
1. One of the most versatile features of your saw is it can operate wet using dia-
mond blades.
2. If you have been dry sawing you will need to remove any sawing debris from the
surface and sawing well. Install a 6 ½” Trim Saw diamond blade following the
instructions in ‘Setting-Up the SwapTop Table Saw’.
3. Set up the Water Drip AddOn™ Kit per its instructions and connect the coolant
feed hose to the top of the blade guard. Make sure the coolant flow adjustment
valve is closed then fill the reservoir with coolant.
4. Connect the plastic drain hose to the overflow outlet on the bottom rear of the
saw base. Place the end in an appropriate receptacle.
5. Open the valve on the coolant reservoir to start coolant flowing onto the blade.
The coolant keeps the working area of the blade clear of debris with a small
puddle of coolant showing while sawing. There should not be water flooding the
saw table. If a paste forms around the cutting area, increase the coolant flow;
sawing dry will severely affect the life and performance of diamond blades.
6. Practice with a scrap piece of material and start slowly to get a feel for cutting
with a diamond blade. You will soon develop a feel for the speed that does not
slow the motor while giving you a good sawing rate.
Speed Control Motor Feature
The integrated speed control feature on the front of the motor allows you to
adjust the blade’s sawing speed. For general purpose sawing using toothed blades
we recommend running at full speed to maximize blade life and performance. Run
diamond blades at full speed unless you are sawing softer materials like glass or if
the piece is thin enough where fracturing could be a concern then adjust the blade
speed to between 3/4 and full speed.
