DUST AND SILICA WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal, and other materials can
generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or
fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with
the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the
tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your
employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials and make certain to
comply with all product warnings and instructions for the safe and effective
use of the material being cut. California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer,
reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.
Control dust, mist, and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use
good work practices and follow the recommendations of the
manufacturer/supplier, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations.
Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When
the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated
through engineering controls such as vacuum and/or water mist, the operator
and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for
the material being cut.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE

This will prevent any loss of power or interruption. · Always plug saw as close as possible to the power source while operating. This will allow you to receive optimum electricity.
Extension Cords: Most motor trouble is the result of too small gauge or too
long of extension cord. Cords must be one piece and as short as possible.
Cords should be no longer than shown on Table 3: Extension Cord Maximum Length
Chart (see above). Norton Construction Products is not responsible for damage
to motors due to the use of extension cords that are too small or too long.
Electrical Supply:
The CTC1020XL can only be used on a 115-volt 60 Hz 1 Phase circuit with a
minimum of a 15-amp breaker, for best performance use a 20-amp breaker. Before
connecting the CTC1020XL to the electrical supply, make sure the voltage is
115v. Connecting the CTC1020XL to voltages higher than may result in motor
damage and is not covered under any warranty.

Additional Cutting Features
OPERATION
Cutting Table
The Cutting Table features an adjustable ruler guide (1) enable easy aligning
and measuring of cuts. The Ruler Gide can be removed for longer tiles and
finetuned to ensure accurate measurements of any tile (loose the attachment
screws and move left or right to align the center of the blade with the “0”
mark in the Ruler guide then tighten the hardware.
The Cutting Table also features 45° marks (2) in the form of lines for quick
angle cuts. The included Guide-A-Cut (3) provides a surface for cutting
multiple tiles at the same
length by simply lining up the material being cut with the appropriate pre-
marked lines (3) on the cutting table. In addition, the wing nut in the
Guide-A-Cut can be moved to the opposite end to allow for 45° cutting. See the
section “Guide-A-Cut” below for additional information. The 15″x18″ cutting
table provides more support during larger cutting jobs.
Guide-A-Cut
1. Set the Guide-A-Cut (3) by positioning it on the desired dimension and
tighten the wing nut. Make sure that the rip guide is firmly tightened to
avoid slippage. The rip guide can be used for 90º rip cuts and 45º angle cuts
from both the left and right side. (Note the straight and 45º angled slits on
the bottom of the rip guide.)
2. After the Guide-A-Cut is positioned for the desired cut, place material
flat against the rip guide and the measurement rail. For 45º rip cuts, place
the corner of material in the open slot of the measurement rail.
3. Simply line up the material being cut with the appropriate pre-marked
lines on the cutting table.
4. Now you are ready to make your cut.
22 OwnersManual-TileSaw-CTC1020XL-Rev11-2023
OPERATION
Miter Cuts
1. For miter cuts, place the lip of the miter block on the Ruler Guide, with
the threaded knobs facing you.
2. Tighten the threaded knobs to secure the miter block in place. 3. Place
material onto miter block and you are ready to cut.
Cutting Depth The recommended cutting depth is to have the bottom of the diamond blade approximately ¼” below the cutting table surface. The CT1020XL is designed with a 1-½” ~1-¾” clearance between the top of the cutting table and the bottom blade trough to help with reducing the blade to cutting table contact.
Warning: Only use either Ø10″ or Ø8″ blades for this saw. Using a smaller size diamond blade may grab the material being cut instead of cutting it, causing damage and possibly injury.
Blade Diameter 10″ (254mm) 8″ (203mm)
Maximum Depth of Cut 3-3/4″ (95mm) 2-3/4″ (70mm)
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! The water pump, bearing housing, and or the water hoses can be damage the expansion of frozen water and is not covered under warranty.

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 and after operating the saw. Keeping the water pump
clean will result in a long water pump life. Damage to water pumps due to not
cleaning, or damage from slurry or debris are not covered under warranty.
1. At the end of each day remove the water pump from the CTC1020XL water pan.
2. Place the water pump in a container of clean water 3. Unscrew the pump
filter. 4. Clean the immersion pump. 5. Loosen the fixing screws of the pump
lid. 6. Take the lid off the pump (be careful not to damage the gasket located
inside with a
sharp object!) 7. Clean the pump lid. 8. Remove all dirt and incrustations
from the pump wheel. 9. Check whether the pump wheel can be easily turned. 10.
Then reassemble the immersion pump correctly and check whether it works
properly
by placing the water pump in a container of clean water and running the
machine until clean water is moving thru all the water tubes. 11. Turn the
machine off and disconnect the power supply. 12. Clean all debris out of the
water pan.
36 OwnersManual-TileSaw-CTC1020XL-Rev11-2023
SAW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING
13. NEVER place the water pump or leave the water pump in any slurry, mud, a
dirty water pan, or in any debris.
14. If operating in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) do not let the water freeze
in the water pump, bearing housing, water hoses, or water tray as damage may
occur which is not covered under warranty. Always drain all water from the
water pump, bearing housing, water hoses, and water tray if the machine is
exposed to temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Realignment of Blade to Cutting Table
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 Picture
3. Loosen the left and right guide rails by loosening the fasteners at the
ends of the rail. The left rail should be slightly loose, so there is not too
much play during adjustments, but the right rail should move freely.
4. Make sure the short portion of the straight edge is placed flush against
the ruler guide. Adjust the left guide rail so that the front and rear edges
of the blade touch the straight edge, although a tolerance of 0.003″ (0.1 mm)
between the front and rear edges is allowed. Perform this adjustment along the
entire length of the straight edge.
5. Position the table as close to the user as possible. Place the straight
edge flush against the ruler guide and blade. Without holding onto the
straight edge, gently move the table towards the rear of the saw and then
back. Observe any gaps that may appear between the straight edge and blade or
between the straight edge and ruler guide. A gap exceeding the allowed
tolerance means that the table is not moving parallel to the blade; hence,
further adjustments as outlined in sleep 4 will be required. However, if
scenario A or B described below occurs, other adjustments may be required. a.
If the straight edge only touches the blade when the table is positioned
midway along the rail or at the ends of the rail, then the rail may be de-
formed (i.e., bowed). (See Figure Rail Straightness). Perform test cuts to
determine if the
37 OwnersManual-TileSaw-CTC1020XL-Rev11-2023
SAW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING
rail should be replaced Typically a bowing displacement of up to 0.008″
(0.2mm) will not a0ect cutting accuracy.
Rail Straightness b. If the straight edge touches both edges of the blade
initially, but shifts apart as
the table travels along the rail, proceed to method 2 below 6. Tighten the
fasteners at both ends of the left rail. 7. Adjust the right guide rail so
that the horizontal rollers underneath the table engage the
rail as shown in figure 8. In most cases the rollers will not have to be
vertically adjusted. Spacing between rails
must be equidistant at all points to ensure that they are parallel. Once
adjustments are made, lightly tighten the fasteners on the right rail and move
the table back and forth. If the table binds against the rail at any point,
adjust spacing accordingly until the table moves smoothly. 9. Tighten the
fasteners at both ends of the right rail If alignment has been achieved do not
proceed to method 2, repeat steps 1 to 9 under Method 1 again.

SAW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING
Method 2 This procedure corrects another source of misalignment that occurs
when the table’s orientation is not parallel with the guide rails.
1. Lift the saw up from the water tray and place it on a flat level surface.
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

SAW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING
2. Remove rubber cap A on the left side of the table (see Figure: Cap Locations). Loosen the exposed lock nut using a 13 mm socket wrench. Use a flat screwdriver to turn the shaft of the roller clock- wise to lower it by approximately 3/8″ (9.5mm). (See Figure: Cap Locations) Evenly lift the table up to disengage the guide rollers from the operator’s left side guide rail. Once the guide rollers are clear, shift the table to the operator’s right side to clear the left horizontal roller of the rail. Remove the table from the guide rails. (See Figure Roller Orientation)

3. If the table shifts to the operator’s right side as it travels away from the operator, a shim needs to be added to the guide roller furthest from the ruler guide. On the other hand, if the table shifts to the operator’s left side, a shim needs to be added to the guide roller closest to the ruler guide. Remove the appropriate guide roller to insert a shim between the roller and table, then reattach. (See Figure: Roller and Shim) Depending on the severity of the shift, more than one shim may be required.

Roller and Shim 4. After adding shim(s), mount the table onto the guide rails
by reversing the instructions in
step 2. Move the rails toward each other to engage the horizontal rollers to
the right guide rail as shown in figure 10. Realign the table to the blade
using method 1. Check to see if any shifting persists. A shift tolerance of
0.008″ (0.2mm) is allowed. A shift more than that will require further
adjustment–repeat step 3
5. Once alignment is successful, replace saw back into the water tray.
Leveling the Cutting Table This procedure levels the table so that it is
perpendicular to the blade & flush against the rails.
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
41 OwnersManual-TileSaw-CTC1020XL-Rev11-2023
SAW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING rollers clockwise. (See figure Cap
Locations) This will lower the horizontal rollers to allow room for adjusting
the flat rollers.
Cap Locations 2. Loosen the socket bolts on the flat roller plate so that the
roller can swing freely
about one bolt. (See figure Flat Roller Bolts) Do this for both flat roller
plates.
Flat Roller Bolts 3. Hold the table against the guide rails. The flat rollers
should reposition themselves to
maintain contact with the guide rails. If the table is not perpendicular to
the blade, lift the right side of the table instead to obtain the proper
angle. A right angle or carpenters square will be required to confirm the
angle. Tighten the socket bolts. Check the table for play. Repeat step 2 if
some play is still present. 4. Restore the horizontal rollers to their
original positions by reversing the instructions in step 1. Be sure to tighten
the lock nuts and replace the rubber caps
