i. GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR ALL POWER TOOLS
1. Know your power tool - read owner’s/operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards unique to this tool.
2. Keep guards in place - and in working order.
3. Ground all tools - if tools are equipped with three prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical
receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be attached
to a known ground. Never remove the third prong.
4. Remove wrenches - Form a habit of checking to see that adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it “on”.
5. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
6. Do not use in dangerous environment. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to
rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gasses.
7. Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.
8. Make workshop childproof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
9. Do not force tool. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.
10. Use right tool. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
11. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry that may
get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
12. Always use safety glasses. Wear safety glasses (must comply with ANSI Z87.1) at all times. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty, and ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools in top condition. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow

table, and then tighten the adjustment knob
firmly to hold the cutting head in place.
WARNING: Setting the blade too low may
damage the cutting table and if set too high,
the blade may grab the material being cut,
causing damage and possibly injury.
vii. 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
The dust generated by cutting
of tile, marble, stone, bricks etc. can be 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!

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 blade 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.
Blade dressing stones are available from your local Pearl
Warehouse.
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.
• 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 move during certain operations,
such as when cutting large heavy tile; the saw
must 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.
Not dressing the blade
frequently or setting the blade too high will cause
it to grab the tile possibly causing injury to the
operator and the saw. Setting the blade depth too
low will cause it to cut into the main table that
may result in injury.
WARNING!

– 9 –
• 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. Grounding 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 2 . The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure 2(A) . A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in Figure 2(B) and 2(C) , may be used
to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in
Figure 2(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 Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter. Therefore, when using the water
pump receptacle, this tool must be plugged into a
properly installed Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet.
See Figure 2(D) . If a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
outlet is not available, Pearl Abrasive Co. has it available
as an accessory item. A plug-in Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter may be plugged into a properly installed and
grounded 3-pole outlet. Refer to
Figure 2(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
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 3.
• 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
“Acceptable for use with outdoor
appliances; store indoors while not in
use.”
Use only extension cords having an
electrical rating not less than the rating of
the product. Refer to chart on page 21.
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 before disconnecting the
saw from the extension cord.
* Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
tile saw. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used
for this measure of safety.
Features:
• Cutting table marked in inches for precision

The Pearl VX7.2XL/VX10.2XLPRO requires very
little maintenance however, keeping your saw clean and
properly adjusted will ensure optimum performance.
Take great care not to get water into the motor. Do not
use pressure washer to clean motor area.
1. Cleaning
• Form a habit of cleaning your saw after
each use. To clean the water tub, remove
drain plug provided in bottom of tub.
Remove saw including water pump from
tub. Remove residual water and clean tub
using soap and water only. Reinstall saw
with pump into tub.
• To increase water pump life remove tile grit
by purging water. Pump with fresh water
after each use.
• With a damp cloth or sponge wipe clean
the guide rails and all other surfaces on
the saw where dust and debris has
accumulated.
2. Transporting
• Unplug the power cord and store it in the
empty, dry water tub. For convenience
and safety, the saw should be transported
with both the main table and carriage
locked, motor in upper position and all
adjustment knobs tightened.
3. Sliding Carriage Adjustment
• Make sure that all rails and rollers are
clean.
• If carriage and/or table does not slide
smoothly, it will require tension
adjustment as follows:
A. Raise saw 2”-3” from table or workbench
(front and rear) gaining acces to (red)
pivot adjuster bolts.
See Figure 5.
B. Locate (red) pivot adjuster on frame base.
Adjust roller tension against extrusion
carriage by loosening socket head bolt
directly below adjuster.
See Figure 5.
C. With bolt loose, turn (red) pivot adjuster
(3/4” wrench is needed) either counter-
clockwise (putting the roller into the
extrusion) or clockwise (pulling the roller
away from the extrusion.)
D. Tighten lower hex-bolt when finished.
E. Since four rollers are adjustable on base,
all may need attention at operator’s
discretion. If the table is not running freely
or feels loose, sometimes it is difficult to
discern which one needs adjustment. The
simplest procedure is to loosen ALL four
adjusters and re-adjust in sequential
order:
a. Right Side Middle
b. Right Side Rear
c. Right Side Front
d. Left Side Middle
Be sure to check for looseness or binding
after each roller adjustment.
4. Table Roller Adjustment
A. Loosen (4) hex-screws on table top.
B. Adjust tension on rollers by turning set
screw (on outside of table) until desired
tension is achieved. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN.
See Figure 6.
C. Re-tighten the (4) screws on table top.
Check table movement and re-adjust if
necessary. Table should roll free but
without side movement.
NOTE - Do not lubricate the guide rails. The presence
of oil or grease will cause an accumulation of dust
and dirt.
xix. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
For your safety before performing any maintenance on the saw turn off the power switch
and unplug the power cord.
WARNING!

5. Aligning the Blade to the Table
• While cutting, the material being cut must
move in a straight line parallel to the saw
blade. If the blade is out of plane it will
bind at one end of the cut. To align the
blade requires cutting a tile (securely
against the table back stop) while
checking for binding at trailing edge of
blade (farthest away from operator).
See
Figure 7
.
If adjustment is required, loosen four
bolts at top of vertical arm. Rotate
complete motor assembly as required
until alignment is attained. Tighten all
four bolts and re-check alignment.
6. Tub & Tray
• Insert the large rubber stopper in the
drain hole.
See Figure 8.
7. Positioning the Saw in the Tub
A. Place the saw in the tub positioning the
Vertical Arm on the same side as the relief
in the tub shown in
Figure 10 .
B. Line the saw up with the molded guides in
the base of the tub.

on the pulleys, and tighten the motor
position adjustment screw. Be sure to
leave some slack on the belt.

table surface. To adjust the cutting depth, loosen the
mounting plate adjustment knob so that the blade is 1/4'
below the top of the cutting table’s surface.

cutting table and if set too high, the blade may grab the
material being cut, causing damage and possibly
injury.
