TS6 SAFETY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Read and follow all safety, operating and maintenance instructions. Failure to read and follow these instructions could result in injury or death to you or others. Failure to read and follow these instructions could also result in damage and/or reduced equipment life.
TS6 SAFETY REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTS Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position before plugging in a power tool. ROTATING OR MOVING PARTS Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate the motor with covers, shrouds or guards removed. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE Keep tools clean for the best and safest performance. Always follow maintenance instructions for lubricating and when changing accessories.
TS6 SAFETY DO NOT OPERATE A TOOL WHEN TIRED When tired, take a break and relax. DIRECTION OF FEED All blades, grinding wheels or polishing belts should always be installed such that rotation is in the direction of the arrow imprinted on the blade, wheel or belt. ONLY OPERATE AT THE PROPER SPEED Severe personal injury and damage to the motor or equipment can result if operated at speeds above maximum.
TS6 SAFETY USE THE RECOMMENDED COOLING AND LUBRICATING FLUIDS Never operate a tool dry that requires coolant or lubricant. This can lead to shortened tool life, tool damage and personal injury. MAINTAIN TOOLS Keep the diamond blade sharp, the sawing lubricant clean and reservoir filled to the correct level for the best and safest performance. Always follow the maintenance instructions for sharpening the blade, lubricating and servicing the saw.
TS6 SAFETY ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols should be followed at all times! In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
TS6 SAFETY ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (continued) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the saw to one side of a wallmounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop," shown in FIGURE 2, should be arranged by the user to properly position the power cord relative to the power source.

The steel arbor shaft can rust. In addition, poor sawing performance and short blade life can result. Motor Mounts and Belt Tension 1. Check the four motor mounting nuts to insure they are tight and the motor is secure (see Figure 7). 1 2 3 4 Figure 7: Motor Mounts 2.
TS6 POWER SWITCH Power Switch A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is included with the TS6. Figure 9: GFCI Between Outlet and Power Cord 1. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position. 2. Attach the power cord from the power box to the GFCI. Plug the GFCI into a 120V / 60Hz / 15 amp (minimum) power receptacle (see Figure 9). 3. Push the GFCI RESET button on the switch. A red light will appear to indicate the switch is energized.
TS6 CUTTING Cutting with the Trim Saw CAUTION 1. 2. 3. 4. Machine Damage. Use diamond blades only. Check blade for signs of core or segment cracks, uneven segment wear, pounding out of round arbor hole, undercutting, segment loss, dishing or loss of tension. If the blade shows signs of any of these problems the blade must be replaced before starting work. A damaged blade will not cut correctly and could cause physical injury. Move the power switch to the OFF position.
TS6 MAINTENANCE Maintenance The 6-inch Trim Saw will continue to perform at optimum levels with proper care, daily cleaning, and general maintenance. CAUTION Place the ON / OFF switch in the OFF position and unplug cord before servicing and when changing accessories, such as blades and belts. Figure 13: Drain Pipe 1. Place a five-gallon bucket or collection container under the pipe outlet cap. 2.
TS6 V-BELT V-Belt The 6-inch Trim Saw blade arbor is powered by an AX-24 rubber V-belt from the electric motor. The V-belt is correctly tensioned at the factory. Periodically check the belt tension by removing the guard and depressing the belt in the middle between the motor and blade pulleys. There should be 1/2" (12.7 mm) of deflection once the belt is pushed down (see Figure 14). If the belt tension should become too loose, poor sawing performance or slipping will result.
TS6 BLADE ASSEMBLY Rock Vise Accessory The Rock Vise accessory has cross feed threads attached to an indexing or crank handle to laterally adjust the vise so that chip thickness is accurately controlled before each chip cut. These threads should be lubricated periodically with wheel bearing or lithium grease to allow for ease of rotation of the cross feed crank. Should the wooden jaws on the vise become worn or start delaminating, replacement jaws can be made from 1/2" (12.7 mm) plywood.
TS6 MAIN MOTOR Main Motor The motor shaft has sealed ball bearings and requires no lubrication. The motor is protected from thermal damage (overheating) with an automatic shut-off switch. If the motor overheats it will automatically shut off and restart once its internal components cool down and the motor is restarted manually (red button). Shut off the main motor by placing the power switch lever to the OFF position and disconnecting the power source.
TS6 DIAMOND BLADE Eventually all blades wear out and must be replaced with a new blade. New blades should be mounted on the blade arbor so that the arrow marked on the steel core is pointing in the direction of the blade rotation while in use. • • • If the arrow can't be found, use a hand lens or magnifying glass to inspect the rim and see the head and tail of any individual diamond.
TS6 NOTICE INSTALLATION & REMOVAL Do not over tighten the jam nut! Blade flanges must always be installed with their concave or recessed side facing the blade (see Figure 22). 4. Reattach the saw table with the four mounting screws and belt guard. 5. Be sure the cork tank gasket is positioned correctly between the saw table and reservoir and that the proper amount of lubricant is in the reservoir before attaching the saw table.
