viii. SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES FOR TILE SAW
1. Use safety equipment - wear safety approved
hearing, eye, head and respirator protection.
2. Read and understand the symbol definitions
contained in this manual.
3. Read and understand all warnings and
instructions on the machine.
4. Read all safety materials and instructions that
accompany any blade or accessory used with
this machine.
5. Establish a training program for all operations
of this machine.
6. Always provide a copy of this manual to the
equipment user. If you need extra copies
call our Customer Service Department at
1-800-969-5561.
7. Always select a diamond blade according to
the manufacturers recommendation suitable
for the material to be cut. Never use a blade
having a maximum operating speed lower than
the “No load R.P.M.” marked on the tool
nameplate. Do not operate any saw without
safety guards in place or with a blade diameter
larger than the maximum saw blade capacity.
8. Before mounting a blade on the saw clean and
inspect the arbor shaft, blade flanges and the
diamond blade for uneven wear or damage. If
it appears to be damaged, Do not operate the
tool. Have it serviced by a qualified service
technician.
9. Before each use of the saw, inspect the
diamond blade for hairline fatigue cracks. If
such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the
blade. Using a damaged lade may cause
injury to the operator or others.
10. Be sure that the blade arbor hole matches the
blade adapter flange supplied with the saw.
Use only blade adapter flanges that came on
your saw. Never use damaged or worn blade
adapter flanges.
11. Installing the blade, install the blade with the
arrow pointing the same direction as the
rotation of the arbor shaft or the arrow on the
blade guard. Be sure to tighten the blade shaft
arbor nut with the wrench provided.
Be careful not to over tighten.
12. Check that the blade tracks near the center of
the channel in the main table, and that the table
moves freely from front to back.
13. Sometimes the material being cut is not
abrasive enough to expose new diamonds on
the blade. If the blade is not sharpened, it will
rub against the surface resulting in heat build
up in the core. To prevent this, it is necessary
to dress the blade. To dress the blade simply
cut something that is very abrasive such as a
piece of cement block. Indications that the
blade needs dressing includes:
• The diamond in the matrix appear shiny
because they are worn flat.
• The blade stops cutting or noticeably
slows down.
Bl de dressing stones re v il ble from your loc l Pe rl
W rehouse.
14. Before using the saw fill the water tub enough
to submerge the water pump with clean water
only. Replenish as necessary and clean the
water tub frequently. Do not operate a wet
cutting blade without adequate water flow to
both sides of the blade. Never run the pump
dry.
15. When cutting, always hold the material firmly
lying flat, supported by the main table with one
edge resting against the main table backstop.
The dust generated y cutting
of tile, mar le, stone, ricks etc. can e injurious
to your health. Always operate machinery in well
ventilated areas and provide proper dust removal.
Always wear a dust mask approved for respiratory
protection against these types of dusts and mists.
For your own safety and the
safety of others do not attempt to operate this saw
until you have read and understand the general
safety rules for all power tools and the following
additional safety precaution unique to this saw.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Not dressing the lade
frequently or setting the lade too high will cause
it to gra the tile possi ly causing injury to the
operator and the saw. Setting the lade depth too
low will cause it to cut into the main ta le that
may result in injury.
WARNING!


– 10 –
• Do not attempt to cut pieces too small to
safely hold down on the main table.
• Never use the side of the blade to cut or
grind with, only cut in a straight line.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the
blade and all other moving parts.
• Never touch or try to stop a moving blade
with your hand.
16. When cutting dry - always unplug the water
pump first. Never run the pump dry.
• Do not use a wet cutting blade for dry
cutting. Select the proper dry cutting
blade for your application.
• Never make long continuous cuts with dry
cutting blades. To avoid heat build up,
allow the blade to cool, remove the tile
and allow the blade to run freely for a few
minutes.
IMPORTANT - If there is any tendency for the
saw to tip or ove during certain operations,
such as when cutting large heavy tile; the saw
ust be securely fastened to a supporting
table.
17. Make certain all adjusting knobs or locks are
tight and engaged in their detents and that
movable parts not intended to move during
operation are securely locked before making a
cut. Be careful not to over tighten.
18. Before connecting the machine to a power
source check to see that the “On/Off” switch is
in the “off” position.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting
anything before connecting to a power
source and starting the motor.
• Know how to stop the machine quickly in
case of an emergency.
19. rounding Instructions
• In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
• Do not modify the plug provided - if it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
• Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only 3 wire extension cords that have
3 prong grounding plugs and 3 pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one illustrated in Figure 6. The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure 6(A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in Figure 6(B) and 6(C), may be used
to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in
Figure 6(B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like,
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box.
Note: USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTER IS NOT
PERMITTED IN CANADA.
Additionally, water pump requires the use of a round
Fault Circuit Interrupter. Therefore, when using the water
pump receptacle, this tool must be plugged into a
properly installed round Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet.
See Figure 6(D). If a round Fault Circuit Interrupter
outlet is not available, Pearl Abrasive Co. has it available
as an accessory item. A plug-in round Fault Circuit
Interrupter may be plugged into a properly installed and
grounded 3-pole outlet. Refer to Figure 6(E).
20. Position of the Tile Saw
• To avoid the possibility of the appliance
plug or receptacle getting wet, position
tile saw to one side of a wall mounted
NOTE - Use of a Te porary Adapter is not per itted
in Canada.

receptacle to prevent water from dripping
onto the receptacle or plug. The user
should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord
connecting the saw to a receptacle. The
“drip loop” is that part of the cord below
the level of the receptacle, or the
connector if an extension cord is used, to
prevent water traveling along the cord and
coming in contact with the receptacle. See
Figure 7.
• If the plug or receptacle does get wet,
Do not unplug the cord. Disconnect the
fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power
to the tool. Then unplug and examine for
presence of water in the receptacle.
21. Extension Cords
• Use only extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use. These extension
cords are identified by a marking
“Accept ble for use with outdoor
ppli nces; store indoors while not in
use.” Use only extension cords having an
electrical rating not less than the rating of
the product. Refer to ch rt on p ge 14.
Do not use damaged extension cords.
Examine extension cord before using and
replace if damaged. Do not abuse
extension cords and do not pull on any
cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from
heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect
the extension cord from the receptacle
efore disconnecting the saw from the
extension cord.
* round Fault Circuit Interrupter ( FCI)

the machine or when there will be a long break.
Make sure that the cooling system is entirely
drained so that there is no water left inside the
pump and water hose!

WATER PUMP MAINTENANCE
When the m chine h s not been used for long period of
time, h rd p cked dirt m y begin to build up inside the pump
nd block the pump wheel. If the m chine is ctiv ted with
the immersion pump blocked, the electric motor of the pump
will be d m ged within few minutes! Ple se follow the
steps listed below to cle n the pump before oper ting the
s w:
1. Remove the immersion pump from the water container.
2. Clean the immersion pump.
3. Loosen the fixing screws of the pump lid.
4. Take the lid off the pump. Be careful not to damage or
lose the gasket underneath.
5. Clean the pump lid.
6. Remove all dirt and incrustations from the pump wheel.
7. Check whether the pump wheel can be easily turned.
8. Then reassemble the immersion pump correctly and
check whether it works properly.
CARBON BRUSH REPLACEMENT
1. Unplug the saw before proceeding any further.
2. Locate the carbon brush caps found on the left and right
side of the motor housing. Remove the caps (turn
counter- clockwise to unscrew) to allow the carbon
brushes to spring out. (See figure 8) If they do not come
out after the caps are removed, use a flat screw driver to
gently nudge them out.
3. When installing the new brushes, make sure they fit
snugly into the slots. Do not modify the replacement
brushes (i.e. file them down) or use non OEM brushes,
as it may damage the armature and in doing so voids the
manufacturer warranty.
4. Perform steps 1 through 3 in reverse to reinstall the fan
cover.
REALIGNMENT
Method 1:
This procedure de ls with the most common source of
mis lignment th t occurs when the guide r ils re not p r llel
with the bl de.
1. Set the cutting depth such that the blade passes through
the table, not over.
2. Place a straight edge (i.e. carpenter’s square) on the
cutting table as shown in figure 9.
3. Loosen the left and right guide rails by loosening the
fasteners found at the ends of the rail. (see figure 9) The
left rail should be slightly loose, so there is not too much
play during adjustments, but the right rail should move
freely as it will be adjusted last.
4. Make sure the short portion of the straight edge is placed
flush against the ruler guide. Adjust the left guide rail so
that the front and rear edges of the blade touch the straight
edge, although a tolerance of 0.1mm between the front
and rear edges is allowed. Perform this adjustment along
the entire length of the straight edge.
5. Position the table as close to the user as possible. Place
the straight edge flush against the ruler guide and blade.
Without holding onto the straight edge, gently move the
table towards the rear of the saw and then back. Observe
any gaps that may appear between the straight edge and
blade or between the straight edge and ruler guide. A gap
exceeding the allowed tolerance means that the table is
not moving parallel to the blade; hence, further
adjustments as outlined in step 4 will be required.
However, if scenario A or B described below occurs, other
adjustments may be required instead.
A. If the straight edge only touches the blade when the
table is positioned midway along the rail or at the
ends of the rail, then the rail may be deformed (i.e.
bowed). (see figure 10) Perform test cuts to
determine if the rail should be replaced. Typically a
bowing displacement of about 0.2mm will not affect
cutting accuracy.
B. If the straight edge touches both edges of the
blade initially, but shifts apart as the table travels
along the rail, proceed to method 2 below.

6. Tighten the fasteners at both ends of the left rail.
7. Adjust the right guide rail so that the horizontal rollers.
8. Tighten the fasteners at both ends of the right rail.
If alignment has been achieved do not proceed to method 2.
Method 2:
This procedure corrects nother source of mis lignment th t occurs
when the t ble’s orient tion is not p r llel with the guide r ils.
1. If the table shifts to the right as it travels away from the user, a
shim needs to be added to the guide roller furthest from the ruler
guide. On the other hand, if the table shifts to the left, a shim
needs to be added to the guide roller closest to the ruler guide.
Remove the appropriate guide roller to insert a shim between the
roller and table, then reattach. (See figure 11). On the severity of
the shift, more than one shim may be required.
2. After adding shim(s), mount the table onto the guide rails and
realign the table to the blade using method 1. Check to see if any
shifting persists. A shift tolerance of 0.2mm is allowed. A shift in
excess of that will require further adjustment—repeat step 1.
LEVELING ADJUSTMENT
This procedure levels the t ble so th t it is perpendicul r to the
bl de nd flush g inst the r ils.
1. Loosen the socket bolts on the flat roller plate so that the roller
can swing freely about the bolt. (See figure 12). Do this for both
flat roller plates.
2. Hold the table against the guide rails. The flat rollers should
reposition themselves to maintain contact with the guide rails. If
the table is not perpendicular to the blade, lift the right side of the
table instead to obtain the proper angle. A square tool will be
required to confirm the angle. Tighten the socket bolts. Check the
table for play. Repeat step 1-2 if some play is still present.
