IF ANY PARTS ARE MISSING OR DAMAGED, PLEASE
CONTACT YOUR TARGET CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR
INSTRUCTIONS.
CALL 1-800-288-5040
Install the Frame Assembly (2) into the Pan (3):
1. Set the Water Pan (3) on a flat surface or on a Part No.
051041, TARGET ® folding stand.
2. The Water Pan (3) is formed with two ledges to support
the Frame Assembly (2). The front end is recessed to
support the rail support end of the frame. This will se-
cure the front end of the Frame Assembly. The rails at
the cutting head end of the frame assembly rests on the
flat end of the pan.
Install the Cart (4) and Cutting Head (1):
1. Set Cart Assembly (4) onto the rail system so that all
four wheels are on the rails and that it travels freely back
and forth.
2. Set the Cutting Head Assembly (1) on the Pivot Bar (A)
of the Frame Assembly so the pivoting grooves on the
bottom of the motor base fit over the round Pivot Bar
(A) with the two locating Set Collars (S) between the
insides of the Cutting Head Base. The Set Collars have
been pre-set at the factory to align the blade with the
slot in the center of the cart; it can be adjusted if needed.
3. Rest the front of the cuttting head on the Cart until com-
pletely fastened to the pivot bar and lockbar. Install the
two Bearing Caps (B) using the 5/16 capscrews and
lockwashers. At first, loosely tighten the four screws so
that the Cutting Head (1) is held securely on the Pivot
Bar, but can be moved side-to-side to locate the Blade
(L) with the center of the slot in the conveyor cart As-
sembly. After centering the blade, finish tightening the
screws. Do not over tighten; the cutting head needs to
be free enough to be pivoted up or down as needed.
4. Pivot the cutting head up to insert the Locking Knob
(C), with 5/16 flatwashers on each side, through the
slotted Lockbar (D) and into the tapped hole in the belt
guard. The Locking Knob is used to set the cutting depth
of the blade being used.
Water Pump Assembly (5) Set-up:
1. Remove the Water Pump (E), Hose Barb (F), the
Water Control Valve (G) and Water Tube Assem-
bly (H) from their carton. Thread the Hose Barb
(F) on the water pump outlet, hand tighten.
2. Slide the Control Valve (G) onto the flexible plastic
tubing and push the open end onto the Hose Barb
(F).
3. Set the Water Pump Assembly (5) in the deep end
of the pan beneath the belt guard. Note: The
water pump inlet screen must be submerged
in order to properly pick up water.
4. Place the Water Tube Assembly (H) to the back of
the Blade Guard (K) and insert the two 1/4" plastic
nozzles into the Water Tube Ports (J) on the sides
of the Blade Guard. To prevent interference with
the full movement of the Cart, it is recommended
that the tubing and electrical cord exit out the left
rear corner of the pan.
5. Insert the male plug into the Receptacle (T) on the
motor. The Water Pump (E) will start when the
motor is turned on. For dry cutting, the Water Pump
should be unplugged or removed to prevent dam-
age to the pump.
NOTE: THE MOTOR WATER PUMP OUTLET IS
NOT TO BE USED AS A GENERAL PURPOSE
CONVENIENCE OUTLET. USE FOR CONNECTION
OF THE SUPPLIED WATER PUMP ONLY.
WATER PUMP SAFETY GUIDELINES
Always plug the saw power cord into a GFCI
outlet when using. If a GFCI type outlet is not
available, use a plug-in type GFCI plugged into
a properly grounded outlet. Do not use any
temporary plug adapters.
·The water pump is equipped with a ground electrical
plug, to reduce the risk of possible shock. Be sure to
connect to a properly grounded type receptacle.
·Never pick the water pump up out of the water when it
is plugged in.
·DO NOT EVER use the water pump to pump anything
but water.
·Never service the pump when it is still plugged in.
·Never let the pump operate dry. It is self-cooled by
pumping water. Dry use will cause the pump to
overheat and fail.
·Maintain regularly and clean out debris from intake
screen.
·Check the power cord for nicks or frays and never try
to alter the power cord in any way.
Install the Cutting Blade:
Always set the Motor Switch to OFF prior to
mounting the blade.
1. Be sure you are using the correct blade for the
material being cut. For example, blades are
available for cutting materials such as wall tile,
quarry tile, marble, slate and similarly hard materi-
als. For the best results, always use genuine
TARGET ® diamond blades. Contact your near-
est dealer to select the correct blade for your spe-
cific cutting needs.
2. Rotate the Blade Guard (K) fully up, tightening the
wing nut if needed to hold it in the fully raised
position.
3. Remove the Blade Shaft Nut (N) and the Outer
Blade Flange (M).
4. Check the Blade (L) for Counter Clockwise rota-
tion (CCW) and install on the spindle shaft.

WARNING: Read the Operating Procedure
completely before operating your tile saw.
Take into account the working conditions from
the health and safety point of view.
Always pay extreme care and attention to the
preparation of the machine before starting.
Remove all wrenches and tools from the
machine.
Always keeps blade guard in place.
 Fill the Pan with enough water to fully submerge the
water pump screen. It takes approximately 6.5
gallons (25 l) to fill the Pan.
 Before connecting the power cord:
* Check the spindle nut to be sure it is tight and that
the blade rotates freely.
WARNING: Check that the ON/OFF switch is in
the OFF position. Then connect the power cord
to a properly grounded outlet of the
correct voltage. See the decal near the power
cord for power requirements. If needed, use the
correct size three (3) conductor extension cord
to avoid excessive voltage drop. Never use lamp
cord type extensions. Refer to the
Recommended Extension Cords chart below.
 Turn the switch to ON. The blade should turn
counter-clockwise, when looking at the blade guard
side. The water pump will start automatically when the
motor starts. Adjustment of the water supply may be
made by means of the Control Valve(G).
 Follow the blade manufacturers recommendations for
dry or wet cutting. Wet cutting blades can be damaged
or destroyed without sufficient water. Only blades
specifically designed for dry cutting can be used with-
out coolant.
Rotation direction is indicated by an arrow on
one side of the blade. Make sure the blade
contact surfaces are clean.
5. Install the Outer Flange (M) with the large diam-
eter against the Blade. Tighten the Blade Shaft
Nut (N) with the 15/16" Wrench (O) provided.
6. Lower the Blade Guard (K) and retighten the wing
nut to securely hold the guard in place.
 Install the Drain Plug (P) into the back end of the pan
and fill with clean water until inlet filter of water pump is
covered; about 6.5 gal. (25 l).
The water supply should be adequate, with
water flowing on both sides of the blade. Keep
the water clean and make certain the WATER
LEVER IS ALWAYS ABOVE THE PUMP INLET.
Do not run the water pump dry!! Unplug for dry
cutting.
 For straight cuts, position the tile squarely against the
back edge of the conveyor cart. Keep the cart clean
and free of cuttings. The standard rip guide is used.
 Move the conveyor cart slowly and carefully until the
blade is in contact with the tile. The blade needs a
chance to break-in or wear-in slightly. It may take
about ten cuts to open a new blade for best cutting.
4 OPERATING PROCEDURE
The motor is equipped with a manual overload protection
reset button. If the motors overheats, the red reset button
will pop out to open the motor circuit; stopping the motor
and water pump. If this occurs , the motor ON/OFF switch
must be set to OFF. After the motor cools, push in the reset
button. When it stays in, the motor can be restarted.
5 MANUAL THERMAL OVERLOAD
Good motor performance depends on proper
voltage. Extension cords that are too long
and/or too small in wire gauge reduce the
voltage to the motor under load. Use extension
cords no smaller than indicated below.

The Porta-Tile is designed for use with a TARGET® 6"
Profile Wheel, such as P/N 621081 or 621082. (See Fig. 1)
 Raise the Blade Guard (K). Remove the Blade Shaft
Nut (N) and Outer Flange (M). Remove the tile saw
blade if one has been installed.
 Install the profile wheel onto the spindle shaft up against
the Inner Flange with the working surface to the out-
side.
 Secure into place by reversing the Outer Flange (M)
and tightening the Blade Shaft Nut (N). Lower the Blade
Guard (K) back down over the profile wheel. Adjust Blade
Guard as needed to best center profile wheel in the
guard.
 Locate the material for profiling:
1. Set the edge of the part to be shaped parallel to
the wheel.
2. Locate the material under the wheel. Pull the
Conveyor Cart (4) with the material from under the
wheel to set proper cutting height.
Your Porta-Tile II tile saw is factory assembled and aligned
prior to shipment to ensure accurate cuts when your saw is
delivered. However, since TARGET® cannot control rough
handling during shipping, it is suggested that the alignment
be checked. If the saw is found in need of adjustment, refer
to the appropriate section(s) below.
There are two basic alignment checks for the Porta-Tile and
any adjustments made must follow these procedures to
ensure that the unit functions freely. Always unplug the saw
before performing any alignments.
Adjustment tools required: Carpenters Square, a 1/2 wrench
and a 5/32 Hex Key wrench.
2. Check the Parallel Alignment (See Figure 2)
* The Conveyor Cart should travel parallel to the
plane of the blade. The Blade should not set at an
angle to the cut line through the tile.
* Place a square rule against the backstop, lightly in
contact with the blade. The blade surface should
be parallel to the square; i.e., no gap between the
blade and the square at either the front or back
edge of the blade. (It is important that the blade
be flat. To check, slowly rotate the blade by hand
with the square lightly contacting it.) Next, holding
the square firmly, traverse the cart fore and aft.
The blade should remain parallel to the square,
staying slightly in contact with it throughout its full
travel. If the blade does not stay in contact with
the square, the Parallel alignment must be per-
formed.
Parallel Alignment
* The parallel tracking of the Cart can be adjusted
by squaring the Rails (R) to the Frame which hold
the Cutting Head Assembly. It is helpful to align
one rail first and then use the cart to set the sec-
ond rail parallel to the first. The holes in the rails
are larger enough to accommodate any adjustment
needed.
* A good practice is to align the INNER RAIL first.
Loosen the eight (8) 5/16"-18 capscrews (1/2"
wrench) locating the two (2) Rails (R) so that both
rails are free to move. Move the end(s) of rail until
the square is flush with the blade as described
above. Tighten the fasteners of this rail and re-
check the alignment. Once alignment has been
made, move the cart fore and aft to locate the
second rail parallel to the first. Tighten the remain-
ing fasteners.
1.Check the Blade in Slot Alignment
* The blade should be centered in the conveyor cart
slot.
* Set-up your saw as described above and move the
conveyor cart back and forth from the front to the
rear of the pan. If the blade contacts either side of
the slot, the Cutting Head Location Adjustment must
be performed.
Cutting Head Location Adjustment (See Figure 1)
* The Cutting Head Assembly is located along the
Pivot Bar (A). Using a 1/2 wrench, loosen the four
5/16 capscrews holding the two Bearing Caps (B).
Also, with a 5/32 Hex Key, loosen the two Set Col-
lars (S). Move both the Set Collars and Head As-
sembly along the bar until the blade is centered in
the slot. Re-tighten the Set Collars and four 5/16
capscrews.

Before performing any maintenance, ALWAYS
place the machine on a level surface with the
motor OFF and disconnect the electrical current.
Let the machine cool down!!
Your TARGET® tile saw is a ruggedly constructed machine,
engineered to give long, satisfactory performance. Simple
daily maintenance and care will add to the life and
productivity of your saw. After each days use: CLEAN THE
MACHINE!!
* Turn off and unplug the saw before performing any
maintenance.
* Keep the cart top clean and free for cuttings. To
clean it, flush the top surface and grooves with
water.
* Drain, clean and refill the pan frequently. Flush the
coolant system with plenty of water, then drain and
refill the pan.
* If the water flow stops, check the water pump to
see if the shaft and impeller turn freely. See the
WATER PUMP TROUBLE-SHOOTING
PROCEDURE section.
* It is always good practice to clean your tile saw
after each days use. Drain the water and clean
out the pan. Clean the rails. Before storing, it is
good practice to wipe or spray rails with water-
soluble oil (like, WD-40 or equivalent).
Entrust all repairs to your authorized dealer only.
If Water Stops Flowing,
1. Stop Sawing, then
2. Disconnect Electrical Plug from Outlet, then
3. Remove the Pump, then
4. Back Flush.
Back flushing is done by forcing water into the pump discharge
and out through the screen. Most of the time this procedure
works, and the pump can be put back into service. (See
Figure to the right.)
If the back flushing does not work, remove the screen and
turn the impeller manually, looking for and rinsing out the im-
peller cavity of any dirt or foreign matter.
We carry out all repairs in the shortest possible time and at
the most economical prices. (See front page for
address and phone numbers) Contact your authorized
TARGET® dealer concerning maintenance and repairs.
For quick supply of spare parts and to avoid any lost time, it is
essential to quote the data on the manufacturers plate fixed to
the machine and the part number(s) and description to be re-
placed with every order.
3. Loosen the Locking Knob (C) and lower the Cut-
ting Head (1) so that the wheel just slightly makes
contact with the material.
4. Secure the Cutting Head (1) into position with the
Locking Knob (C) for cutting.
5. Note: Profiling usually takes several light passes
to produce the best results. Set lower each time
until the desire depth has been reached.
