saw components Figure 2 shows the location of the basic components of the TP24X saw. Listed below is a brief explanation of each component. 1. AC Power Cord — Plug this cord into a 125 VAC receptacle when starting of the electric motor is required. 2. V-belt Cover — Remove this cover to access the drive V-belt. NEVER operate the saw with the V-belt cover removed 3. Rubber Splash Guard — Keeps water from splashing from the blade. 4. Electric Motor — This unit uses a 115V, 60 Hz, 1-1/2 HP electric motor. 5.
electric motor components/set-up Electric Motor Components Figure 3 shows the location of the components of the electric motor. 3. If using the optional support stand, assemble as described in the Support Stand Assembly section. Make sure that the saw is secured on the support stand as instructed. 115 VAC, 60 Hz SINGLE -PHASE ELECTRIC MOTOR support Stand Assembly (Optional) 11 5 V Refer to Figure 4 for location of components. OVERCURRENT BREAKER BUTTON 1.
set-up Water Pump Assembly 1. Remove the water pump from the box and make sure that it is not damaged. 2. Place the pump onto the recessed area of the water tray. The pump should be oriented such that the water outlet is horizontal. See Figure 5. 3. Attach the water hose coming from the blade guard and bearing housing to the water pump. 4. Install drain plug in water tray. 5. Fill the water tray with clean fresh water. The water pump intake must always be fully covered by water.
set-up Blades WARNING Failure to thoroughly inspect the blade for operational safety could result in damage to the blades or the saw and may cause serious injury to the user or others in the operating area. Inspect the blade flanges and shaft for damage before installing the blade. Blade Components Diamond blades are recommended for your saw. Ask your Multiquip dealer about your specific cutting application. Figure 8 highlights the components of a diamond blade. 2 1 3 4 SPECIFICATIONS MAX.
set-up Blade Installation Refer to Figure 9 and the following instructions for installing the blade. 1. Loosen blade guard adjustment knob located at the rear of the blade guard. Carefully raise the cutting head to its highest position and secure it into place by tightening the blade guard adjustment knob. 2. Remove the blade shaft nut and outer flange. If a blade has been mounted, hold the blade with one hand and use the other hand to loosen the nut with the universal wrench. Remove existing blade. 3.
set-up/sawing guides Connecting the Power 1. Place the power ON/OFF switch (Figure 10) in the OFF position (down). 2. Connect an extension cord of adequate current carrying capacity to the power plug on the electric motor. 3. MAKE CERTAIN that the correct size extension cord is used. Undersized wires will burn out motors. Use Table 6 to determine the correct extension cord size. Motor 1.5 HP Table 6. Extension Cord Sizes 75 ft 50 ft 25 ft Voltage (7.6 m) (15. 2 m) (22.9 m) VAC Long Long Long 115 No.
sawing guides Performing Straight Cuts 1. Set the template base at the desired location on the ruler guide and tighten the threaded knob. Make sure the template base is firmly tightened to avoid slippage. 2. After the template base is positioned for the desired cut, place the material being cut flat against the side of the template base and the ruler guide. 3. Now you are ready to make your cut. Performing Diagonal Cuts Figure 13.
operation Start-up Procedure NOTICE Read and fully understand this manual before starting or attempting to operate the saw. Before starting the saw’s electric motor make sure that the Safety, General Information, and Set-Up sections have been completed and understood. DO NOT proceed until the above mentioned sections have been completed. WARNING NEVER lift the blade guard while the blade is rotating.
operation 3. Push the cutting table with the material, slowly and evenly until the cut is complete. Move the cutting table back and remove the cut pieces. 4. Avoid overloading the motor when cutting. However, the electric motor is protected with a manual-reset thermal overload switch that will turn the saw off if the motor is overheated. In the event that the switch is tripped, turn the “ON/OFF” switch to the “OFF” position and allow the motor to cool before attempting to restart. Shut down Procedure 1.
MAINTENANCE A good preventive maintenance program of regular inspection and care will increase life and improve the performance of the saw and cutting blades. WARNING Whenever cleaning, adjusting, or lubricating any part of the saw, MAKE CERTAIN to do the following: • Place power ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. • Disconnect power cord from AC source. • NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running. Severe bodily injury can occur. Basic Maintenance 1.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance intervals Use the following guidelines to perform maintenance on your saw. After every use of the machine Remove dirty water from container. Remove dirt and mud from the bottom of the container. Rinse the immersion pump with fresh water to prevent water pump clogging from residual dirt. After wet cleaning and before using the machine again Connect the machine to an electric power outlet equipped with a “GFCI” safety power breaker.
MAINTENANCE Water pump maintenance When the machine has not been used for a long period of time, hard packed dirt may build up inside the pump and block the pump wheel. NOTICE If the machine is activated with the immersion pump blocked, the electric motor will be damaged within a few minutes! Please follow the steps below to clean the pump before operating the saw. 1. Remove the immersion pump from the water container. Figure 19. Belt Replacement 2. Clean the immersion pump. 3.
MAINTENANCE Bearing housing removal Bearing Housing Installation To remove the bearing housing (Figure 21), perform the following: To install a new bearing housing, perform the following: 1. Make sure that the old housing has been properly removed. 2. Unpack the new bearing housing and place the flat portion face-down on a towel situated on a flat surface. 3. Secure the cutting head in a in a completely horizontal position. 4.
MAINTENANCE realignment further adjustments as outlined below will be required. However, if scenario A or B (described below) occurs, other adjustments may be required instead. Method 1 This procedure deals with the most common source of misalignment that occurs when the guide rails are not parallel with the blade. 1. Set the cutting depth such that the blade passes through the table, not over. 2. Place a straight edge (i.e. carpenter’s square) on the cutting table as shown in Figure 22. 3.
MAINTENANCE Method 2 This procedure corrects another source of misalignment that occurs when the table’s orientation is not parallel with the guide rails. 1. Use the universal wrench to loosen (but not remove) the fasteners from either end of both guide rails. Move each rail away from the other, so that the horizontal rollers are clear of the right guide rail. See Figure 25. HORIZONTAL ROLLER CLEARANCE GUIDE ROLLER HORIZONTAL ROLLER LEFT GUIDE RAIL RIGHT GUIDE RAIL LOOSEN FASTENERS Figure 25.
MAINTENANCE Leveling Adjustment Transporting the saw This procedure levels the table so that it is perpendicular to the blade and flush against the rails. 1. Ensure that the water tray is empty and dry. 1. Remove rubber caps B and C on the right side of the table. Loosen the exposed lock nuts using a socket wrench. Next, use a flat screwdriver to turn the shaft of the rollers clockwise. See Figure 26. This will lower the horizontal rollers to allow room for adjusting the flat rollers. 2.
