OPERATION
of the guide over the upturned edge of the table, on the side of the cutting
groove where you have placed the part of the marked tile that you intend to
keep and use after cutting. The parallel guide will be parallel to the tile and
perpendicular to the fence.
4. Slide the parallel guide along the fence until it abuts the tile, keeping sure
that the mark on your tile remains in line with the blade.
5. Tighten the locking knob on the parallel guide
6. When you are satisfied that the tile is aligned with the blade, and the guide
is in place, and it is safe to do so, turn on the power switch. Cut the tile as
described in previous instructions.
7. Check to be sure that the tile has been cut to proper dimensions before using
the parallel guide to cut more tiles. Periodically test the fit of each tile as you
continue cutting, to be sure the parallel guide has not moved.
45 DEGREE ANGLE GUIDE
Use the angle guide (F in Functional Description, above) for making 45 degree
angled cuts in tiles.
1. Attach the angle guide to the fence as you did the parallel guide, using the
locking knob to hold the guide in place.
2. Place the factory edge of your tile against one or other of the two angled
sides of the guide. This angles your tile at exactly 45 degrees to the line of
cut as you slide the tile and the table underneath the blade.
45 DEGREE BEVEL GUIDE
Use the bevel guide (G in Functional Description, above) to make 45 degree
bevelled cuts in tiles for nosing.
1. Attach the bevel guide to the fence as you did the parallel guide, using the
two locking knobs to hold the guide in place.
2. Use the cutting groove in the middle of the table to brace the lower edge of
your tile as you slide the tile and the table underneath the blade.
WARNING:
n Always keep the blade guard in the down position when cutting tiles.
n Do not press the Shaft lock button while the saw is operating.
n Keep fingers away from the blade.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always unplug the power cord before servicing and before
performing any maintenance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE:
1. Regularly inspect the diamond saw blade. Using a dull blade will cause
excessive wear on the motor, and will not produce a satisfactory cut. Replace
with a new one when needed.
2. Frequently inspect the mounting screw on all safety covers, and the arbor nut
on the cutting wheel shaft. Tighten any that appear loose.
3. Protect the motor and electrical components from prolonged or excessive
exposure to water or wet conditions. Wipe the unit dry as needed.
4. For longest life and best performance, clean the saw after every use.
5. Wipe off all exterior surfaces and keep the cutting table clean and free of tile
chips and debris.
4. Wipe off both the guide bars and rollers on the cutting table.
5. Place light machine oil on the guide bar to facilitate smooth travel of the
linear guide assembly.
6. Check the power cord for cuts and nicks, and NEVER shorten or alter the
cord in any way. This will void your warranty.
NOTE: The pump is non-serviceable. If it should fail, first try clearing the intake
of debris and be sure the hole and hose are not plugged. If the pump still
does not work, it must be replaced.
WARNING: Do not attempt to do any repairs yourself as you will void your
warranty.
