The Pearl VX7.2XL/VX10.2XLPRO requires very
little maintenance however, keeping your saw clean and
properly adjusted will ensure optimum performance.
Take great care not to get water into the motor. Do not
use pressure washer to clean motor area.
1. Cleaning
• Form a habit of cleaning your saw after
each use. To clean the water tub, remove
drain plug provided in bottom of tub.
Remove saw including water pump from
tub. Remove residual water and clean tub
using soap and water only. Reinstall saw
with pump into tub.
• To increase water pump life remove tile grit
by purging water. Pump with fresh water
after each use.
• With a damp cloth or sponge wipe clean
the guide rails and all other surfaces on
the saw where dust and debris has
accumulated.
2. Transporting
• Unplug the power cord and store it in the
empty, dry water tub. For convenience
and safety, the saw should be transported
with both the main table and carriage
locked , motor in upper position and all
adjustment knobs tightened.
3. Sliding Carriage Adjustment
• Make sure that all rails and rollers are
clean.
• If carriage and/or table does not slide
smoothly, it will require tension
adjustment as follows:
A. Raise saw 2”-3” from table or workbench
(front and rear) gaining acces to (red)
pivot adjuster bolts.
See Figure 5.
B. Locate (red) pivot adjuster on frame base.
Adjust roller tension against extrusion
carriage by loosening socket head bolt
directly below adjuster. See Figure 5.
C. With bolt loose, turn (red) pivot adjuster
(3/4” wrench is needed) either counter-
clockwise (putting the roller into the
extrusion) or clockwise (pulling the roller
away from the extrusion.)
D. Tighten lower hex-bolt when finished.
E. Since four rollers are adjustable on base,
all may need attention at operator’s
discretion. If the table is not running freely
or feels loose, sometimes it is difficult to
discern which one needs adjustment. The
simplest procedure is to loosen ALL four
adjusters and re-adjust in sequential
order:
a. Right Side Middle
b. Right Side Rear
c. Right Side Front
d. Left Side Middle
Be sure to check for looseness or binding
after each roller adjustment.
4. Table Roller Adjustment
A. Loosen (4) hex-screws on table top.
B. Adjust tension on rollers by turning set
screw (on outside of table) until desired
tension is achieved.
DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN. See Figure 6.
C. Re-tighten the (4) screws on table top.
Check table movement and re-adjust if
necessary. Table should roll free but
without side movement.
NOTE - Do not lubricate the guide rails. The presence
of oil or grease will cause an accumulation of dust
and dirt.
xix. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
For your safety before performing any maintenance on the saw turn off the power switch
and unplug the power cord.
