• Set the Frame Assembly (2) on a flat surface or on a
FELKER ® folding stand.

Frame Assembly (2) legs between the vertical post and
the Sliding Pan Stop. The Pan Assembly (3) should
slide freely back and forth on the Guides (Q) with little
lateral movement. Adjust if needed.
Install the Cutting Head Assembly (1):
1. Slide the Pivot Cutting Head Assembly (1) on the
pivot bar up against the inner Set Collar (A). The
set collar has 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.
2. Insert the Locking Knob (C) with 5/16" flatwasher
through the slotted Lockbar (D) into the tapped hole
in the belt guard. This is used to set the cutting
depth of the blade.
3. Install the outer Set Collar (B) up against the
other side of the Pivot Head and tighten the Set
Screw.
Water Pump Assembly (5) Set-up:

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.

4. Place the Water Tube Assembly (H) to the back of
the Blade Guard (J) and insert the two 1/4" plastic
nozzles into the Ports (I) on the side of the Blade
Guard (J). To prevent interference with the full
movement of the cart, it is recommended that the
tubing and electrical cord exit out the back through
the indented area of the pan.
5. Insert the male plug into the Receptacle (K) 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.

NOT TO BE USED AS A GENERAL PURPOSE
CONVENIENCE OUTLET. USE FOR CONNECTON
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 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
FELKER ® diamond blades. Contact your near-
est dealer to select the correct blade for your spe-
cific cutting needs.
2. Rotate the Blade Guard (J) fully up, tightening the
wing nut if needed to hold it in the fully raised
position.
3. Remove the Blade Shaft Nut (L) and the Outer
Blade Flange (M2).
4. Check the Blade (K) for Counter Clockwise rota-
tion (CCW) and install on the spindle shaft.
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 (M2) with the large diam-
eter against the blade. Tighten the Blade Shaft
Nut (L) with the 15/16" Wrench (N) provided.
6. Lower the Blade Guard (J) 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).
• Adjust the Pan Assembly (3) to accommodate the size
of the tile to be cut and to obtain the most comfortable
position for the operator.
