BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN
INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.

This Tile Saw must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric
shock. This Tile Saw is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is
properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.

ASSEMBLY / SET-UP
CAUTION: Follow all the assembly & installation
instructions completely before connecting the tile saw to a
power source.
Carefully open and remove all the components and packing materials
from the box.
ASSEMBLING DIAMOND CUTTING BLADE
1) First remove the water tray from underneath the table.
2) Undo the pan head screws (A) Fig.3 and remove the lower blade
guard (B) and lower blade guard plate (C).
3) Undo the hex. nut (D) from the arbor shaft. Use the supplied spanner
keys, one on the flat of the arbor shaft and the other on the hex. nut.
4) Place the diamond cutting blade (F) onto the arbor shaft against the
inner flange (G), note the direction of rotation, the arrows must point
towards the front of the saw.
5) Place the outer flange (E) onto the arbor shaft against the blade and
secure the blade with hex. nut (D) using the supplied spanner keys.
6) Reinstall the lower blade guard plate and lower blade guard.
ASSEMBLING BLADE GUARD
1) Assemble the blade guard (B) Fig.4 to the adjusting bracket (A) using
the lock knob (C) and nylon hex. nut (D) as shown in Fig.4.
For safety reasons, always keep the blade guard in the down position
while operating the tile saw.This will also prevent water from splashing
the operator.
INSTALLING EXTENSION TABLE TO MAIN TABLE
The extension table assembly (A) Fig.6 can be installed on either the
right side of the main table or on the left side. For bevel cuts, it is
recommended to only install the extension table to the left side of the
main table.
1) If you desire to install the extension table to the right side of the
blade/main table, unscrew the pan head screws (A) Fig. 5 at the end
of each round bar (B).
2) Slide the round bars (B) into the mounting brackets (C) underneath the
main table.
3) Flip the tile saw on its side and reinstall the pan head screws (A). This
will prevent the extension table from sliding out of the mounting brackets.
4) To secure the extension table in the desired position, install the 2 lock
knobs (D) to the mounting brackets (C).
5) Unfold the support legs (B) Fig.6 by pulling them downwards, make
sure they engage the notch (C). Adjustable feet (D) are supplied in
case the extension table needs to be leveled.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
INSTALLING ASSEMBLED RIP FENCE ON THE TABLE
1) To install the rip fence assembly (A) Fig.7 onto the table or the extension
table, first lift the clamp lever (B).
2) Slide the front and back clamps onto the table, once the rip fence is in the
desired position, lower the clamp lever (B) to secure the rip fence.
INSTALLING RUBBER FEET UNDER BASE
1) Install all 4 rubber feet underneath each corner of the machine base.
Push and twist them into place.
OPERATION GUIDE
1) Make sure the directional arrows on the blade correspond to the
rotational direction of the motor.
2) Make sure the arbor nut is securely tightened.
3) Never attempt to cut more than one tile at a time.
4) Make sure the table surface is clear before making a cut.
5) Let the blade reach its maximum speed before cutting a tile. If the saw
makes an unfamiliar sound or vibrates excessively,turn the saw off and
disconect it from the power source.
6) Never allow the blade to run dry,failure to keep the water tray at the
recommended level could possibly overheat the blade.
7) Allow the blade to come to a full stop before removing a jammed tile.
8) Never cut a tile that is too small to securely hold it against the rip fence
or hold it with sufficient space for the hand to be a safe distance from the
blade.
9) Never make freehand cuts, use the rip fence or the V-push block to
support the tile during any cut.
10) On some tiles with brittle surfaces, it is recommended to cover the cut
line with masking tape.
FILLING THE WATER TRAY
Warning! Never allow the blade to run dry, failure to keep the water tray at
the recommended water level could possibly overheat the blade.
The water tray is used to cool down the blade. Place the water tray (A) Fig.8
in place under the table and fill it with cold water just enough so that the
blade rim is immersed in water. Do not put too much or too little water in the
tray. Too much water will create splashing and too little may damage the
blade during use. As a guideline, refer to the Maximum and Minimum
indicator lines marked on the lower blade guard (B).
TURNING THE TILE SAW ON/OFF
Connect power cord to power source. Make sure the power source
matches the specifications indicated on the machine nameplate.
Your tile saw is equipped with a safety toggle switch (A) Fig.9. This switch
has a safety key (B) which, when removed, allows the switch to be locked
in the “off” position. Tolock the switch in the “off” position, push switch to
“off” and pull out the switch key.

OPERATION &
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Do not service, clean, or maintain the tile saw without first turning off the motor and unplugging
the tile saw from its power source. Failure to do so may result in a serious injury to the operator.
FOR THE LONGEST LIFE AND BEST PERFORMANCE:
•Always clean the tile saw after each use.
•Wipe off all exterior surfaces and keep the cutting table clean and free of all debris.
•Always let the blade cut at its own speed. Do not force the material being cut.
•Always check the blade for cracks or signs of damage.
•Always clean the water tray thoroughly after use.
•Always keep water level at the recommended level. Do not overfill or allow the blade to run dry.
•Always store in dry conditions.
• Never attempt to service the internal parts of the motor by yourself for this would void your warranty.
•Keep the ventilation slots clean and unobstructed to prevent overheating of the motor.
CONTINUOUS RIM DIAMOND BLADES
• ONLY USE 7” (180MM) CONTINUOUS RIM DIAMOND BLADES HAVING A 5/8” ARBOR WITH THIS TILE SAW.
•Do not use tile saw blades that are larger or smaller than recommended.
•Do not force the material into the blade, let the blade cut at its own speed.
•Inspect blade before every use for cracks or uneven wear. Discard cracked,
chipped or bent blades.
CUTTING OPERATIONS
For straight cuts, once the rip fence is positioned for the desired cut, place
the material flush against the rip fence then push the material towards the
blade. A push block is supplied for this type of operation.
For diagonal cuts, to obtain diagonal cuts, follow the steps for straight cuts
above, in addition the V-groove push block is used. Position the push block
against the rip fence, place one corner of your material into the V-groove of
the push block and you are ready to cut.
For bevel cuts, Loosen the two lock knobs (A) Fig.10 (only one is shown, the
second is located on the backside of the machine) and tilt the table to the
desired angle, you can choose 150,300,or 450.Retighten the two lock knobs
(A) to secure the cutting table. Install and position the rip fence (B) on the right
side of the table, then place the material face down onto the right side of the
table and you are ready to cut. FIGURE 10
STORING YOUR TILE SAW
Before storing your tile saw,make sure it has been cleaned properly. To protect
the power cord from damage, wrap it around the power cord wrap posts on the
side of the machine as shown in Fig.11.
