ASSEMBLY
of BASIC & DELUXE MODELS
1. Put the stand on the floor and keep the stand from
rolling with the floor lock.
2. Place the frame on the stand so that the cutting
head support bar is the maximum distance from
the end of the stand with the floor lock.
3. Place the pan on the frame and lock the pan in
place with the four safety locks.
WARNING:
Always keep the pan locked in
place because an overhanging load could tilt the
pan.
4. Place one of the conveyor carts on the rails. ONLY
the Deluxe Model includes two carts – the
standard large cart and an additional small cart
(Saw must have Inner Rail kit) for small tiles.
5. Assemble the cutting head on the saw frame. Be
sure the blade will line up with the center of the
slot in the conveyor cart. Next, tighten the
fasteners so that the cutting head is held securely
on the base pivot bar, but can be adjusted up or
down.
6. Adjust the cutting head so the blade-cutting rim is
through the conveyor top, then tighten the
adjustment control knob mounted on the belt
guard. When it is necessary to make cuts in the
center of the tile, the cutting head may be raised,
and operated by hand.
Correct position for a diamond
blade. The blade is positioned so
that it is at least 1/4” below the top
surface of the conveyor cart.
Wrong – The blade is positioned
incorrectly in this illustration, as it is above
the conveyor cart surface. Setting the
blade too shallow may cause it to grab.
Good motor performance depends on proper voltage.
Extension cords that are too long and/or small reduce
voltage to the motor under load. Use extension cords no
smaller than indicated below.

OPERATION
1. Be sure you are using the correct blade for the
material. For best results, always use genuine
FELKER diamond blades that have been specially
developed for ceramic wall tile, quarry tile, marble,
granite, slate and many other hard materials.
2. Use a wrench to tighten the flange nut securely,
but first make sure the blade flanges are clean.
Never use wing nuts, and never merely hand-
tighten the hex nut.
3. The water supply should be adequate, with
plentiful supply flow of water at all times.
WARNING:
Keep water clean and make
certain the WATER LEVEL IS ALWAYS ABOVE
THE PUMP INTAKE. Wet-cut diamond blades
must be used with a plentiful flow of water at all
times.
4. Keep the V-belt tight for proper power
transmission and longer belt life. Do not over
tighten. Change V-belts in sets only.
5. Keep the conveyor cart clean and free of cuttings.
The small conveyor cart on the Deluxe Model
should be used for tiles up to 12”. The standard
large conveyor cart is to be used for tiles above
12”. The large cart will diagonally cut up to 24” x
24” square tiles or rip 36” tiles. An additional
support is furnished which can be mounted to the
side of the large cart for supporting oversized
materials. The backstop can be lowered if the
material overhangs the cart on the operator’s end.
In addition, an extra support can be mounted on
the operator’s end of the cart, if required.
Felker’s Super Tile Master tile saws feature an
exclusive, patented, adjustable tray that is guided
to maintain squareness accurately. The
adjustable tray permits the operator to adjust the
saw to the most convenient and comfortable
operating position whether the operator is cutting
4” x 4” or 24” x 24” ceramic tile units.
The stop bar on the water tray will automatically
stop the tray when it has reached either the
maximum forward or maximum rear position. The
adjustable water tray is easily removed from the
saw frame for transporting or cleaning.
