vii. PROPER BLADE USE

– 9 –
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 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.
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!
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!

– 10 –
•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.
•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 5. The tool has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 5(A). A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 5(B) and
5(C), may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as
shown in Figure 5(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 5(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 5(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 6.
NOTE - Use of a Temporary Adapter is not permitted in Canada.

– 11 –
•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 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 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.

• Please do not use aggressive cleaners (i.e. containing
solvents). Do not use high-pressure water jets,
aggressive detergents or solutions and liquids with a
temperature exceeding 86ºF! Use a fluff-free cloth
only.
• Use a cloth which may be lightly moistened only for
removing dust and dirt. Hard packed dirt can be
removed with a soft brush.
• For the sake of safety, no water/cleaning liquid/vapor
may penetrate into the electric motor,
connectors/plugs, switches, etc. Therefore cover all
apertures, holes in the housing, connectors or plugs,
etc. or seal them with adhesive tape!
• Use a soft, low-pressure water jet and a brush to rinse
dirt and incrustations away. Be particularly careful
when near hazardous parts of the machine (e.g. switch,
motor). Clean the motor and switches only by wiping
with a moist cloth.
• Do not “rinse” the bearings of the drive elements to
prevent them from running dry. The ball bearings of the
machine are permanently lubricated.
• After cleaning, remove all covers and adhesive tape! All
screws/nuts which you may have loosened must be
tightened again!
• After wet cleaning, try the machine on a power outlet
which is equipped with a power breaker (i.e. fault
current circuit breaker). If the fault current circuit
breaker cuts the power supply, the machine must be
inspected by an authorized dealer prior to use!
CLEANING
After every use of the machine:
• Remove dirty water from container.
• Remove dirt and mud from the bottom of the container.
• Rinse the immersion pump with fresh water to prevent
the water pump from clogging with residual dirt.
After wet cleaning and before using the machine again:
• Connect the machine to an electric power outlet
equipped with a “GFCI” safety power breaker. If the
safety power breaker cuts off the electrical power
supply, do not try to operate the machine but have it
checked by an authorized dealer first.
PROLONGED PERIOD OF
NON-USE
Before not using the machine for a prolonged period of
time:
• Clean and lubricate all movable parts. However, do not
grease the guide rails.
After not using the machine for a prolonged period of
time:
• Check that the stand is safely fixed.

• Check that the cutting table is seated properly on the
guide rails and that it moves easily along the entire
length of the rails.
• With the saw blade removed, switch on the motor for
an instant and switch it off again. If the motor does not
run, have the machine inspected by a qualified
electrician.
• Check that the immersion pump works properly. Turn
on the cooling water tap and switch the machine on. If
the pump does not give any water or only a little,
switch the machine off at once. Clean the pump, or
replace if necessary.

– 13 –
EXTREME TEMPERATURE
Ambient temperature below 32° F (Winter):
• To prevent the water in the pump and cooling system from
freezing, remove the water after using 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 machine has not been used for a long period of time,
hard packed dirt may begin to build up inside the pump and block
the pump wheel. If the machine is activated with the immersion
pump blocked, the electric motor of the pump will be damaged
within a few minutes! Please follow the steps listed below to
clean the pump before operating the saw:
1. Remove the immersion pump from the water container.
2. Clean the immersion pump.
3. Loosen the fixing screws of the pump lid.

xii. TROUBLESHOOTING
For your safety and the safety of others, turn the power switch off and always remove the plug from power source before
troubleshooting. Repairs performed by unauthorized personnel could cause serious hazard. We recommend that service to this tool be performed by a
qualified service technician with original equipment replacement parts.
WARNING!
EXCESSIVE NOISE. Possible blade shaft bearing wear, motor belt
loose or motor fan rubbing on housing. Have tool serviced.
BLADE WILL NOT CUT. Check for worn out diamond edge. Be sure
that the arrow on the blade is rotating the same direction as the motor arbor
and/or arrow on the blade guard. Make sure the blade is suitable for the
material to be cut. If blade has been used to cut a material that is hard, it
may have become dull, dress the blade by cutting a light weight abrasive
building block to expose fresh diamonds. Blade dressing stones are available
from your local Pearl Warehouse.
MOTOR WILL NOT START. Check power supply. If the water
pump turns on when the power switch is in the “on” position, but the motor
does not, have the motor serviced.
MOTOR WILL NOT STOP. The contacts in the switch may have
become arched together in the on position, have it serviced.
MOTOR SHUTS OFF DURING OPERATION. Check to see
that the circuit you are using is not overloaded with lights or other equipment.
The fuse or circuit breaker may not have sufficient capacity, use 20-amp
power. If you are using an extension cord check the extension cord table to
be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current this product will draw. See
Page 14 for electric cord reference.
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION Check to see that the blade is mounted
properly according to safe operating practices section. Blade may be out of
balance, try a different blade. Arbor shaft bearings possibly worn, have tool
serviced.
NOT CUTTING SQUARE. Check the main table and carriage
adjustment as well as the blade alignment procedure located in the care and
maintenance section.
MAIN TABLE DOES NOT MOVE FREELY. Inspect the guide
rails and rollers for build up of tile chips or dry slurry deposits. Clean and
check guide roll or adjustments, according to the procedure in the care and
maintenance section.
NO WATER FLOW TO BLADE. Check the water feed tube for
kinks or obstructions. Check the inlet screen to ensure it is not clogged.
Remove the pump inlet and turn the impeller to ensure it is not damaged or
jammed. Clean the impeller if necessary and apply a drop of light oil to the
shaft - be sure the impeller spins freely.
POOR MACHINE PERFORMANCE WITH LITTLE
POWER. Check cord/extension cable for appropriate length and gage.
Check power network for sufficient power and circuit breaker capacity.
CENTER HOLE IN BLADE OVERSIZE OR WORN. Saw
blade has slipped on shaft while running. Check shaft for damage and replace
blade.
