For your safety, turn off the switch and unplug saw from the power source before performing any
maintenance or cleaning. If the power cord becomes damaged in anyway, replace it immediately
with the approved cord. When cleaning the saw, do not expose the motor to direct water. If excessive water is
introduced into the motor, electric shock and/or damage to the motor can occur.
Do not service the electric motor’s internal components yourself. Contact an authorized service center.
Never use water or any other chemical liquids to clean the electrical parts of the machine.
Use a soft cloth to clean off the water and dust from the machine.
Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent overheating.
Periodic maintenance of your tile saw allows for long life and trouble-free operation. The cutting residue that the
saw generates could be considerable. A cleaning, lubrication, and maintenance schedule should be maintained.
As a common sense and preventative maintenance practice after each use, follow these recommended steps:
• Clean the entire saw with fresh water after each use.
• Pump clean/fresh water for 1 minute through the water pump and blade guard assembly to
safeguard against slurry build-up and clogging.
• Make sure the guide rails are lubricated.
• If the table is not sliding easily, lubricate the bar lightly.
• Inspect the diamond cutting wheel for its overall integrity. Check the rim for wear or damage
and replace cutting wheel if necessary.
MAINTENANCE
1. Loosen the blade cover lock knob (A, Fig. 27).
2. Swing the blade cover (6) open
3. Locate the supplied blade wrench on the saw arm
assembly.
4. Depress the blade spindle lock (B, Fig. 26) and use
the blade wrench (C, Fig. 27) to loosen the arbor
lock nut (D, Fig. 27)
5. Remove the arbor lock nut.
6. Remove the blade.
7. Place the new blade on the arbor so that the arrow
on the blade is pointing in the same direction as the
arrow on the blade cover. (See Figure 27)
8. Replace the arbor nut and tighten while depressing
the spindle lock.
9. Close the cover and tighten the cover lock knob.

CHECKING THE BEVEL
1. Position the worktable (9) so that it is under
the blade.
2. Loosen the blade cover lock knob.
3. Swing the blade cover (6) open.
4. With the bevel indicator at 0 degrees, use a framing
square to ensure the blade is square with the table.
5. If the blade is not square to the sliding table, adjust
the positive stop screw (A) in the direction that the
blade needs to move in order to square it to the
table. Use a small square to check blade to table
squareness.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the bevel indicator set 45
degrees and using the 45 degree positive stop
7. To adjust pointer (B) to align to 0° or 45° mark on
scale loosen screw on pointer and adjust to align to
correct mark and re-tighten screw.
8. Close the blade cover and relock
CLEANING THE PUMP
Remove the front plate and the impeller, and use a
small brush or stream of water to clean up any debris.
The pump shaft cannot be removed.
If the water from the pump is reduced
or has stopped, replace the pump or
have it repaired by the qualified personnel.
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known [to
the State California] to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
REMOVING THE WATER
NOZZLE
It may be necessary to remove or replace the nozzle. If
so use perform the following steps:
1. Use the on-board Allen wrench (5c) to loosen the cap
screw (C).
2. Flip the retaining arm (D) up and release the nozzle
and hose assembly.
3. Grasp the hose and pull the nozzle firmly to
disconnect the nozzle from the hose.
