ix. SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES
1. Use safety equipment - wear safety approved
hearing, eye, head and respirator protection.
2. Read and understand the symbol definitions
contained in this manual.
3. Read and understand all warnings and
instructions on the machine.
4. Read all safety materials and instructions that
accompany any blade or accessory used with
this machine.
5. Establish a training program for all operations
of this machine.
6. Always provide a copy of this manual to the
equipment user. If you need extra copies
call our Customer Service Department at
1-800-969-5561.
7. Always select a diamond blade according to
the manufacturers recommendation suitable
for the material to be cut. Never use a blade
having a maximum operating speed lower than
the “No load R.P.M.” marked on the tool
nameplate. Do not operate any saw without
safety guards in place or with a blade diameter
larger than the maximum saw blade capacity.
8. Before mounting a blade on the saw clean and
inspect the arbor shaft, blade flanges and the
diamond blade for uneven wear or damage. If
it appears to be damaged,
Do not operate the
tool.
Have it serviced by a qualified service
technician.
9. Before each use of the saw, inspect the
diamond blade for hairline fatigue cracks. If
such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the
blade.
Using a damaged blade may cause
injury to the operator or others.
10. Be sure that the blade arbor hole matches the
blade adapter flange supplied with the saw.
Use only blade adapter flanges that came on
your saw. Never use damaged or worn blade
adapter flanges.
11.
Installing the blade,
install the blade with the
arrow pointing the same direction as the
rotation of the arbor shaft or the arrow on the
blade guard. Be sure to tighten the blade shaft
arbor nut with the wrench provided.
Be careful not to over tighten.
12. Sometimes the material being cut is not
abrasive enough to expose new diamonds on
the blade. If the blade is not sharpened, it will
rub against the surface resulting in heat build
up in the core. To prevent this, it is necessary
to dress the blade. To dress the blade simply
cut something that is very abrasive such as a
piece of cement block. Indications that the
blade needs dressing includes:
• The diamond in the matrix appear shiny
because they are worn flat.
• The blade stops cutting or noticeably
slows down.
Blade dressing stones are available from your local Pearl
Warehouse.
• Do not attempt to cut pieces too small to
safely hold down.
• Never use the side of the blade to cut or
grind with, only cut in a straight line.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the
blade and all other moving parts.
• Never touch or try to stop a moving blade
with your hand.
• Do not use a wet cutting blade for dry
cutting. Select the proper dry cutting
blade for your application.
• Never make long continuous cuts with dry
The dust generated by cutting
of tile, marble, stone, bricks etc. can be injurious
to your health. Always operate machinery in well
ventilated areas and provide proper dust removal.
Always wear a dust mask approved for respiratory
protection against these types of dusts and mists.
For your own safety and the
safety of others do not attempt to operate this saw
until you have read and understand the general
safety rules for all power tools and the following
additional safety precaution unique to this saw.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Not dressing the blade
frequently or setting the blade too high will cause
it to grab the tile possibly causing injury to the
operator and the saw. Setting the blade depth too
low will cause it to cut into the main table that
may result in injury.
