1. Know your power tool – read owner’s/operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards unique to this tool.

2. Keep guards in place – and in working order.

3. Ground all tools – if tools are equipped with three prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the third prong.

4. Remove wrenches – Form a habit of checking to see that adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it “on”.

5. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

6. Do not use in dangerous environment. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gasses.

7. Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.

8. Make workshop childproof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

9. Do not force tool. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.

10. Use right tool. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

11. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry that may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

12. Always use safety glasses. Wear safety glasses (must comply with ANSI Z87.1) at all times. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty, and ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14. Maintain tools in top condition. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility.

15. Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

16. Avoid accidental starting. Make sure switch is in “off” position before plugging in power cord.

17. Use recommended accessories only. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

18. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.

19. Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform it’s intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
    breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect it’s operation. A guard or part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

20. Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power “off”. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

21. Extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
    and overheating. Extension cord tables (refer to page 21) show the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage numbers the heavier the cord.

22. Do not abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or pull it to disconnect from receptacle, Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

23. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example, pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerator enclosures.

24. Outdoor use extension cords. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.

25. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.

SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES FOR TILE SAW

WARNING!
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.

1. Use safety equipment – wear safety approved hearing, eye, head and respirator protection.
   WARNING!
   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.

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.
    **** 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.

12. Check that the blade tracks near the center of the channel in the main table, and that the table moves freely from front to back.

13. 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.

14. Before using the saw fill the water tub enough to submerge the water pump with clean water only. Replenish as necessary and clean the water tub frequently. Do not operate a wet cutting blade without adequate water flow to both sides of the blade. Never run the pump dry.

15. When cutting, always hold the material firmly lying flat, supported by the main table with one edge resting against the main table backstop.
    • Do not attempt to cut pieces too small to safely hold down on the main table.
    • 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.

16. When cutting dry – always unplug the water pump first.
    Never run the pump dry.
    • 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 cutting blades. To avoid heat build up, allow the blade to cool, remove the tile and allow the blade to run freely for a few minutes.
    IMPORTANT – If there is any tendency for the saw to tip or move during certain operations, such as when cutting large heavy tile; the saw must be securely fastened to a supporting table.

17. Make certain all adjusting knobs or locks are tight and engaged in their detents and that movable parts not intended to move during operation are securely locked before making a cut. Be careful not to over tighten.

18. Before connecting the machine to a power source check to see that the “On/Off” switch is in the “off” position.
    • Make sure the blade is not contacting anything before connecting to a power source and starting the motor.
    • Know how to stop the machine quickly in case of an emergency.

19. Grounding Instructions
    • In the event 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. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
    • Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
    • Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
    • Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
    • Use only 3 wire extension cords that have 3 prong grounding plugs and 3 pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
    Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
    This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure 5. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 5(A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 5(B) and 5(C), may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in Figure 5(B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
    The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
    Note: USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTER IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.
    Additionally, water pump requires the use of a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. Therefore, when using the water pump receptacle, this tool must be plugged into a properly installed Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet. See Figure 5(D). If a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet is not available, Pearl Abrasive Co. has it available as an accessory item. A plug-in Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter may be plugged into a properly installed and grounded 3-pole outlet. Refer to Figure 5(E).

20. Position of the Tile Saw
    • To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position tile saw to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
    The user should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord connecting the saw to a receptacle. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension
    NOTE – Use of a Temporary Adapter is not permitted in Canada. cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. See Figure 6.• If the plug or receptacle does get wet, Do not unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool.
    Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
    To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.

21. Extension Cords
    • Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use.” Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Refer to chart on page 14. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cords and do not pull on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the saw from the extension cord.

• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tile saw. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING!
For your safety before performing any maintenance on the saw turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord.

GENERAL RULES

• Always clean the machine before performing any maintenance/ repair.
• Before performing any cleaning/maintenance /repair, the machine must be switched off with the main power switch.

Steps to Follow When Cleaning:

• Please do not use aggressive cleaners (i.e. containing solvents). Do not use high-pressure water jets, aggressive detergents or solutions and liquids with a temperature exceeding 86ºF! Use a fluff-free cloth only.
• Use a cloth which may be lightly moistened only for removing dust and dirt. Hard packed dirt can be removed with a soft brush.
• For the sake of safety, no water/cleaning liquid/vapor may penetrate into the electric motor, connectors/plugs, switches, etc. Therefore cover all apertures, holes in the housing, connectors or plugs, etc. or seal them with adhesive tape!
• Use a soft, low-pressure water jet and a brush to rinse dirt and incrustations away. Be particularly careful when near hazardous parts of the machine (e.g. switch, motor). Clean the motor and switches only by wiping with a moist cloth.
• Do not “rinse” the bearings of the drive elements to prevent them from running dry. The ball bearings of the machine are permanently lubricated.
• After cleaning, remove all covers and adhesive tape! All screws/nuts which you may have loosened must be tightened again!
• After wet cleaning, try the machine on a power outlet which is equipped with a power breaker (i.e. fault current circuit breaker). If the fault current circuit breaker cuts the power supply, the machine must be inspected by an authorized dealer prior to use!

CLEANING
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 the water pump from clogging with 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. If the safety power breaker cuts off the electrical power supply, do not try to operate the machine but have it checked by an authorized dealer first.

PROLONGED PERIOD OF NON-USE
Before not using the machine for a prolonged period of time:

• Clean and lubricate all movable parts. However, do not grease the guide rails.

After not using the machine for a prolonged period of time:

• Check that the stand is safely fixed.
• Check that all screw joints and nuts are fixed.
• Check that the cutting table is seated properly on the guide rails and that it moves easily along the entire length of the rails.
• With the saw blade removed, switch on the motor for an instant and switch it off again. If the motor does not run, have the machine inspected by a qualified electrician.
• Check that the immersion pump works properly. Turn on the cooling water tap and switch the machine on. If the pump does not give any water or only a little, switch the machine off at once. Clean the pump, or replace if necessary.

EXTREME TEMPERATURE
Ambient temperature below 32° F (Winter):

• To prevent the water in the pump and cooling system from freezing, remove the water after using the machine or when there will be a long break. Make sure that the cooling system is entirely drained so that there is no water left inside the pump and water hose!

WATER PUMP MAINTENANCE
When the machine has not been used for a long period of time, hard packed dirt may begin to build up inside the pump and block the pump wheel. If the machine is activated with the immersion pump blocked, the electric motor of the pump will be damaged within a few minutes! Please follow the steps listed below to clean the pump before operating the saw:

1. Remove the immersion pump from the water container.
2. Clean the immersion pump.
3. Loosen the fixing screws of the pump lid.
4. Take the lid off the pump. Be careful not to damage or lose the gasket underneath.
5. Clean the pump lid.
6. Remove all dirt and incrustations from the pump wheel.
7. Check whether the pump wheel can be easily turned.
8. Then reassemble the immersion pump correctly and check whether it works properly.

REALIGNMENT
This procedure deals with the most common source of misalignment that occurs when the guide rails are not parallel with the blade.

1. Slightly loosen the screws (2) on the rip guide. (see figure 7)
2. Loosen the knobs (2) on the rip guide. (see figure 7)
3. Carefully hold the rip guide flush against the blade.
4. Tighten the screws (2) on the rip guide.

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION Check to see that the blade is mounted properly according to safe operating practices section. Blade may be out of balance, try a different blade. Arbor shaft bearings possibly worn, have tool serviced.
NOT CUTTING SQUARE. Check the main table and carriage adjustment as well as the blade alignment procedure located in the care and maintenance section.
MAIN TABLE DOES NOT MOVE FREELY. Inspect the guide rails and rollers for build up of tile chips or dry slurry deposits. Clean and check guide roll or adjustments, according to the procedure in the care and maintenance section.
NO WATER FLOW TO BLADE. Check the water feed tube for kinks or obstructions. Check the inlet screen to ensure it is not clogged. Remove the pump inlet and turn the impeller to ensure it is not damaged or jammed. Clean the impeller if necessary and apply a drop of light oil to the shaft – be sure the impeller spins freely.
POOR MACHINE PERFORMANCE WITH LITTLE POWER. Check cord/extension cable for appropriate length and gage. Check power network for sufficient power and circuit breaker capacity.
CENTER HOLE IN BLADE OVERSIZE OR WORN. Saw blade has slipped on shaft while running. Check shaft for damage and replace blade.

THE RIGHT BLADE DOES THE RIGHT JOB

For the most effective cutting and blade life always use the recommended Pearl Abrasive Co. blade.

PEARL LIMITED WARRANTY

Every PEARL ABRASIVE CO. tool is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving the factory. It is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase. Pearl will repair or (at our opinion) replace a product, or part thereof, found by PEARL ABRASIVE CO. to be defective, provided the defective product is returned to PEARL ABRASIVE CO., freight pre-paid, with proof of purchase.

This Warranty does not apply where:

In no event shall Pearl Abrasive Co. be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages from the sale or use of the equipment. This disclaimer applies both during and after the term of warranty.
