OPERATION
Once your sliding tile saw is completely assembled, we suggest to get the
water tray and laser guide set up properly before attempting to operate.
WATER PUMP/WATER SUPPLY
Warning!
To prevent excessive wear on the blade, make sure to maintain a
continuous flow of water on the blade during all operations. Never cut a tile
without continuous water flow!
Warning!
Make sure the power cord is positioned to remain dry during
operations. Severe personal injury or death can occur if the power cord or the
operator of the tile saw should become wet.
1) Make sure the water pump is plugged to the quick-connect receptacle
mounted to the motor and that the water hose is properly connected to the
water pump. See Fig.7.
2) Position the pump so that it does not interfere with the motion of the sliding
table while cutting, under the motor is a good place.
3) Fill the water tray with enough water so that the pump is completely
submerged, but not too much so that the water tray overflows.
LASER GUIDE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
Warning!
Do not stare directly into the laser beam.
1. Mark the line of cut on the tile and test cut the tile.
2. Turn on the laser guide system with the waterproof switch (A) Fig.8 to ensure
it aligns with the edge of the cut tile.
3. Plug in the machine and start the motor.
4. When the blade is at its maximum speed (approx. 2 sec.) slide the table
towards the blade.
5. After completion, switch off the laser guide system and the motor and wait
for the blade to come to a complete stop.
ADJUSTING LASER TRAJECTORY
If your laser guide does not seem to be aligned with the blade kerf, a small
adjustment can be made.
1. Loosen screw (B) Fig.8 found directly above the laser guide.
2. Place a scrap piece of tile on the table and slide the table towards the blade.
3. Turn laser tip dial (C) until the laser beam is aligned with the saw blade
(blade kerf), hold the laser dial and retighten screw (B) to prevent the laser
dial from moving.
CHANGING/INSTALLING BATTERIES
The laser guide system supplied with your tile saw is battery operated (2 AAA
batteries supplied). Only turn on the laser guide system only after you have
placed or are about to place a workpiece on the table. To change the batteries:
1. Remove the top mounted laser battery snap-on cover.
2. Replace both AAA batteries.
3. Replace the snap-on battery cover.
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
It is recommended to position the blade 1/4” below the surface to cut. To adjust,
loosen mounting plate lock knob (A) Fig.9 so the blade is to the desired depth
and retighten lock knob. It is possible to set the blade higher for depth cutting
by positionning the head/blade assembly above the top of the cutting tables’
surface.
