WATER TUBING REMOVAL
Plastic tubing connects the water pump to the blade
guard. The fittings used to connect this tubing seal and
grip the outside diameter of the tubing. Special internal
locking fingers attached to the flanged collet hold the
tubing fast. To clean the water tubing requires the
tubing to be removed from the fittings. To release the
tubing form the fitting, fully depress the collet before
pulling the tube out of the fitting. When you press
down on the collet you are opening the locking fingers
and freeing the tubing to be easily removed.
WATER TRAY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Then remove water pump from tray.
•
Then take frame and motor assembly out of the
water tray.
•
Take tray and drain water and contents (sediment)
•
To install simply reverse this process.

5. Alignment
Procedures
Your FTS-150 tile saw is factory assembled and
aligned prior to shipment to ensure accurate cuts
when your saw is delivered. However, since FELKER
can not 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 saw
and any adjustments made must follow these
procedures to ensure that the unit functions freely.
Adjustment tools required: Carpenter’s Square and
the multi-wrench provided with your new saw.
1. Check the Blade in Slot Alignment
•
The blade should be centered in the conveyor
cart slot.
•
Set-up your saw as described above, move the
conveyor cart back and forth form the front to
the rear of the pan. If the blade contacts either
side of the slot, the Cart Slot Location
Adjustment must be performed.
Cart Slot Location Adjustment (See Diagram 1)
•
Move the Conveyor Cart so the Blade is
approximately midway between the front and
back of Cart. Loosen the two Roller Guide Bar
fasteners (Item 5) [Use the 10mm & 16mm
ends of wrench (Item 51)] on end fasteners.
Move the adjustment clamp, Roller Guide Bar
(Item 5) and Cart together until the blade is
centered in the slot. Tighten the fasteners. It is
recommended that the Parallel Alignment in
step 2 be checked to insure the best quality
cuts.
2. Check the Parallel Alignment
•
The conveyor cart must travel parallel to the
plane of the flat blade.
•
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. 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 performed.
Parallel Alignment (See Diagram 1)
•
Loosen the front two Roller Guide fasteners
(Item 5). Move the Roller Guide Bar (item 5)
and Cart by the Adjustment Clamp until the
square is flush with the blade. Tighten the
fasteners and recheck the alignment again.
The cart should now travel parallel to the blade
and the blade should be centered in the slot.
6. Maintenance
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!!
FOR LONGEST LIFE AND BEST PERFORMANCE
•
Always clean the saw after every use.
•
Wipe all of the exterior sediment or dirt off the
motor. Never spray water directly onto the
motor!
•
Wipe all exterior surfaces and keep the cutting
table clean and free of all debris.
•
Wipe the roller guide bar on the frame.
•
Always check the blade for cracks or signs of
damage.
