Safety Precautions
A. Saw blade should be inspected daily for excessive wear,
core cracks and arbor damage. Replace any blade that
shows signs of damage.
B. To mount the blade, clean the arbor and outer flanges,
and tighten the nut securely.
C. DO NOT place any portion of your body in line with the
blade while it is rotating.
D. Wet cutting blades MUST be used with water.
E. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, we recommend
the use of GFCI and to refer servicing to a qualified pro-
fessional.
F. When operating the saw, be sure to wear proper safety
gear, such as safety glasses, dust mask, and hearing
protection. A hard hat is also recommended.
G. Never use the machine improperly or work in an unsafe
manner.
H. Maintain alertness while operating the machine. Failure
to maintain attention, by the operator, may lead to seri-
ous injury.
I. Keep work area clean.
J. Before you start working, familiarize yourself with the
work site and its surroundings. Take notice of circum-
stances which may impede work or traffic, observe soil
conditions (good bearing or not) and take measures to
ensure safety (e.g. the shielding of roadworks from pub-
lic traffic).
K. Take measures to ensure that the machine is in a safe
and trouble-free condition prior to usage. Use the ma-
chine only when all protective devices (i.e. guards, noise
absorbers, emergency-off devices) are in place and in
working order.
L. A visual check of the machine must be made at least
once a shift to ensure that visible damages or faults
are recognized. Any changes (including changes in
the performance or behavior of the machine) must be
reported to the supervisor. If necessary, stop the ma-
chine at once and secure it.
M. In the case of a malfunction, stop the machine imme-
diately and secure it. Fix the problem as soon as pos-
sible.
N. To stop and start the machine follow the operating in-
structions and observe any indicator lights.
O. Keep out of reach of children. Before operating ma-
chine, be sure the activated machine will be of no dan-
ger to anyone.
P. Be sure to connect the plug to a properly grounded re-
ceptacle to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Q. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing or ac-
cessories. Keep hair and body parts away from open-
ings and moving parts.
R. If cord/plug is damaged do not operate.
S. Make sure power switch is in “off” position before plug-
ging in power cord to prevent any accidental activation.
T. When machine is plugged in do not leave it unattended.
Unplug prior to servicing, when changing accessories,
and when not in use.
U. Never carry machine by cord. Do not pull cord to un-
plug. Keep cord away from heat, sharp edges and oil.
V. Do not operate the machine when you are tired or while
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medica-
tion.
W. Never operate this unit when flammable materials or va-
pors are present. Electrical devices produce sparks or
arcs which can cause a fire or explosion.
X. When using an extension cord, make sure it is in good
condition and heavy enough to carry the current drawn
by the machine. Refer to the extension cord table in the
“Electrical Specifications” section for the correct gauge
depending on the desired cord length and the machine’s
horse power and voltage.

Health Warning
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other
masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: Work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

After you have made yourself familiar with the compo-
nents of your saw, the machine has been properly set
up, the bucket or water tray is filled with water, and the
electrical connection is established in accordance with
the relevant safety regulations, you may now begin
with the cutting operation.
Before you start operation open the water shut-off
valve on the water pump.
Place the tile on the table and position the tile such
that the flat face of the tile sits flush against the ruller
on the table.
Line up the tile such that the desired cut lines up with
the blade.
Deploy the rear scoop and attach the rear drip tray,
side extension table and side drip tray as necessary.
Level the saw so water runs slightly towards the post.
During the cut operation, the user must use both hands
to hold the tile in place while also apply even force to
push the table forward. Do not force feed the blade for
best cut results.
Dress the blade occasionaly so the diamonds on the
blade do not glaze over.
Always turn off the saw before you leave the machine
unattended. Unplug the power cable at the end of job.

WARNING:
Always lock the cutting table prior to transporting the
saw.
The Adjustable Angle Guide is a two-piece assembly consist-
ing of a base and an attachment that rotates. This guide will
support cutting angles between 0° and 180°. The attach-
ment has a casted angle indicator that show markings every
5° with numerical markings every 45°. (see figure 9)
figure 9
USING THE CUTTING TABLE
The ruler guide has inches marked along the top to allow
convenient measurements and to promote precision cuts.
(see figure 10) With the side extension table installed, the
table spans 28-in x 23.15-in. If equipped with the rear
extension the table will span 28-in x 32.2-in, which allows it
to provide greater support for handling larger materials.
Cutting table is covered by a rubber mat that provides a firm
durable work surface. A guide should be used together with
the cutting table to ensure precision while making cuts.

When the machine has not been used for a long period
of time, hard packed dirt may build up inside the pump
and block the pump fan from rotating. If the machine is
activated with the fan blocked, the electric motor inside
the pump will overheat within a few minutes! Please
follow the steps listed below to clean the pump before
operating the saw.

Remove the water pump from the water tray/container.
Clean the water pump exterior.
Clean the interior where the fan is by removing the fan
cover. If gasket is installed, be careful not to damage it.
The fan can be removed by using pliers to pull it off.
Careful not to damage the fan or the motor shaft. With
it removed, the entire volute can be cleaned easily.
Spin the pump shaft by hand. It should rotate almost
effortlessly. Then press the cleaned fan back onto the
blade. Note to align the shaft geometry with that of the
blade bore before pressing it back on. Do not press the
fan too far down the shaft or it may not rotate. Spin the
fan blade by hand to confirm it can spin effortlessly.
Reassemble the fan cover.
Turn the saw on briefly to check whether the pump
works properly.
WARNING:
Disconnecting the water pump should be done by a
certified electrician.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Insufficient flow of cooling water or
no cooling water at all
The pump draws air
Filter clogged Clean the filter of the pump
Pump wheel of the immersion pump
blocked by dirt
Disassemble the immersion pump
and clean
Irregular run of the saw blade Poor tension in the blade material Return the saw blade to the manu-
facturer
Saw blade wobbles when running Saw blade is damaged or bent Have the saw blade aligned /
flattened
Clean the receiving flanges
Solder the diamond segments of the
old blade onto another saw blade or
use a new blade
Flange of the saw blade is damaged Replace the saw blade flanges
Shaft of the motor is bent Replace the electric motor
Diamond segment becomes loose Overheating of the saw blade; cool-
ing water not sufficient
Have the diamond segment soldered
on the blade again; ensure optimum
flow of cooling water
Excessive wear Wrong type of saw blade Use harder saw blades
Shaft of motor causes wobbling Have bearings of the motor or the
motor replaced
Overheating Ensure optimum flow of cooling
water
Cracks in or near the diamond seg-
ment
Saw blade too hard Use a softer blade
Blade shaft bearing Replace the bearing of the blade
shaft
Fill the container the pump sits in
with water until submerged

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Saw blade is blunt Saw blade type is unsuitable for the
material being cut
Use appropriate type of saw blade
Saw blade type is unsuitable for the
machine performance
Saw blade too hard
Diamond segments are blunt Sharpen the diamond saw blade
Appearance of cut is not optimal Poor tension in the blade material Return the saw blade to the manu-
facturer
Too much load placed on the saw
blade
Use a suitable saw blade
Diamond segments are blunt Sharpen the saw blade
The center hole in the saw blade has
become wider due to wear
The saw blade has slipped on the
motor shaft when running
The arbor of the saw blade must be
fitted with an appropriate adaptor
ring
Check the flanges and have it
replaced if necessary
Saw blade shows blooming colors Saw blade overheating due to a lack
of cooling water
Ensure an optimum flow of cooling
water
Lateral friction when cutting The material feed is too high; pro-
ceed more slowly
Grinding marks on the saw blade Material is not being fed parallel to
the saw blade
Ensure that the direction of feed is
absolutely parallel to the saw blade
Adjust the roller table or have it
adjusted
Poor tension in the blade material Have the saw blade tensioned
Too much load on the saw blade The material feed is too high, pro-
ceed more slowly
