SAFETY RULES
1.3
Safety Rules
Warning: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specification provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
A) Keep work are clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
B) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
C) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
A) Power tool plugs must match outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
B) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
C) Do not expose power tool to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
D) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damages or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
E) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
F) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
A) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
B) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
C) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.

iQTS244
Operator’s Manual
888-274-7744
www.iqpowertools.com
English
D) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
E) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
F) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
G) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
H) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
A) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do a better job and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
B) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
C) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventative safety measure reduces the risk
of starting the power accidentally.
D) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
E) Maintain power tools accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may aect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are cause by
poorly maintained power tools.
F) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and easier to clean.
G) Use power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
dierent from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
H) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. SERVICE
A) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
B) Replacement of the plug or the supply cord shall
always be carried out by the manufacturer of the
tool or his service organization.
C) Keep liquid clear of the parts of the tool and away
from persons in the working area.

BLADES
General
The iQTS244 dry cutting tile saw utilizes a specially
designed diamond blade with a Q-Drive Arbor hole.
The 10” Q-Drive dry cutting blade uses a proprietary
composition of diamond concentration, metal type,
and flange thickness to make a blade that cuts
cool while reducing vibration and movement. The
specially designed blade works in conjunction with
the vacuum flow to keep the blade and the material
cool while cutting.
The iQTS244 10” Dry Cutting blades with Q-Drive
Arbor hole can be purchased from your local
iQ Power Tools dealer or directly from iQ Power
Tools by calling 888-274-7744 or through our
website at www.iQpowertools.com
The Q-Drive Arbor hole with the included bushing
also fits a standard 5/8 round blade shaft for
versatility.
The Q-Drive Arbor hole shape without bushing also
fits a standard 1” round blade shaft for versatility.
BLADES CAN BREAK AND
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES
TO THE USER. DIAMOND BLADES CAN BECOME VERY
HOT WHEN NOT USED PROPERLY. AN OVERHEATED BLADE
MAY CAUSE DEFORMATION OF THE BLADE, RESULTING IN
DAMAGE AND INJURIES.
WARNING!
WITH BUSHING WITHOUT BUSHING
Blades for Dierent Materials
The iQTS244 dry cutting tile saw is supplied with
specially designed 10” Dry Cutting Combination Blade
with Q-Drive Arbor hole that is engineered to cut a
variety of material such as: porcelain, marble, granite,
ceramic, and stone.
A 10” Dry Cutting Hard Material Blade is also available
for the iQTS244 with Q-Drive Arbor hole.
Blade selection should be made according to the
material being cut ask your local dealer for help in
choosing the right product.
BLADE VIBRATIONS
• The blade can become out of round and
vibrate if a too high feed pressure is used.
• A lower feed pressure can stop the vibration.
Otherwise replace the blade.
SHARPENING DIAMOND BLADES
• Always use a sharp diamond blade.
• Diamond blades can become dull when
the wrong feeding pressure is used or
when cutting certain materials such as
very hard material. Working with a dull
diamond blade causes overheating, which
can result in the diamond segments
coming loose.
• Sharpen the blade by using a dressing
stone or by cutting in a soft material such
as sandstone or soft brick.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
• Remove the blade before transportation or
storage of the machine.
• Store the blade in a dry place.
• Inspect new blades for transport or
storage damage.
NEVER USE A BLADE FOR ANY
OTHER MATERIALS THAN THAT IT
WAS INTENDED FOR. CUTTING PLASTICS WITH A DIAMOND
BLADE CAN CAUSE KICKBACK WHEN THE MATERIAL
MELTS DUE TO THE HEAT PRODUCED WHEN CUTTING AND
STICKING TO THE BLADE. NEVER CUT PLASTIC MATERIALS
WITH A DIAMOND BLADE!
