vii. 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

– 7 –

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!

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.

Not dressing the blade

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.

1. Always use the included GFCI plug.

2. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord which has 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.

3. Do not modify the plug provided – it is intended to be used with the included GFCI plug and extension cord. If using an adaptor for a 2-prong outlet, always attach the adaptor to the GFCI plug, never to the power cord.

4. Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

5. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions or are unsure that the tool is properly grounded.

6. If an additional extension cord is needed, attach it to the 3-prong GFCI plug. Never use an extension cord longer than 50 feet.

Always repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

7. This saw is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in

Figure 2 . The GFCI plug used on the saw has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 2(A) . A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in Figures 2(B) and 2(C) , may be used to connect the GFCI plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure 2(B) , if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc., extending from the adaptor 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.

8. Position of the Tile Saw.

• To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the 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 cord is used); it prevents water from traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the receptacle.

See Figure 3 .

• If the plug or receptacle does get wet, do not unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the receptacle. Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the receptacle.

• If the receptacle is wet, dry it and make certain that the GFCI Plug is reset before

To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.

Do not touch plug with wet hands.

plugging it back into the receptacle. Do not reconnect the fuse or circuit breaker until the receptacle is dry.

9. Extension Cords

• Always use the extension cord included with the saw.

• If an additional extension cord is needed, use only a cord that is intended for outdoor use.

These extension cords are identified by the marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use.”

Use only extension cords with an electrical rating higher than the rating of the tool. Refer to the chart on page 14. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine an extension cord before use and replace it if it is damaged. Do not abuse extension cords and do not pull on any cord to disconnect it. Keep the cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the saw from the extension cord.

• Never use an additional extension cord that is longer than 50 feet.

10. Always use the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) plug included with the saw.

11. The tile saw cord includes a 15-amp twist lock plug. Do not modify this plug or use an adaptor on it. This plug is intended to be used with the

GFCI Plug included with the saw. The GFCI has a standard 3-prong plug that can be plugged into a standard 3-prong outlet or extension cord.

x. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

unplug the power cord.

For your safety before performing any maintenance on the saw turn off the power switch and

The Pearl VX10.2XLPROR requires very little maintenance however, keeping your saw clean and properly adjusted will ensure optimum performance.

Take great care not to get water into the motor. Do not use pressure washer to clean motor area.

1. Cleaning

• Form a habit of cleaning your saw after each use. To clean the water tub, remove drain plug provided in bottom of tub.

Remove saw including water pump from tub. Remove residual water and clean tub using soap and water only. Reinstall saw with pump into tub.

• To increase water pump life remove tile grit by purging water. Pump with fresh water after each use.

• With a damp cloth or sponge wipe clean the guide rails and all other surfaces on the saw where dust and debris has accumulated.

NOTE - Do not lubricate the guide rails. The presence of oil or grease will cause an accumulation of dust and dirt.

2. Transporting

• Unplug the power cord and store it in the empty, dry water tub. For convenience and safety, the saw should be transported with both the main table and carriage locked , motor in upper position and all adjustment knobs tightened.

3. Sliding Carriage Adjustment

• Make sure that all rails and rollers are clean.

• If carriage and/or table does not slide smoothly, it will require tension adjustment as follows:

A. Raise saw 2”-3” from table or workbench

(front and rear) gaining acces to (red) pivot adjuster bolts. See Figure 5.

B. Locate (red) pivot adjuster on frame base.

Adjust roller tension against extrusion carriage by loosening socket head bolt directly below adjuster. See Figure 5.

C. With bolt loose, turn (red) pivot adjuster

Figure 5

Sliding carriage adjustment

(3/4” wrench is needed) either counterclockwise (putting the roller into the extrusion) or clockwise (pulling the roller away from the extrusion.)

D. Tighten lower hex-bolt when finished.

E. Since four rollers are adjustable on base, all may need attention at operator’s discretion. If the table is not running freely or feels loose, sometimes it is difficult to discern which one needs adjustment. The simplest procedure is to loosen ALL four adjusters and re-adjust in sequential order: a. Right Side Middle b. Right Side Rear c. Right Side Front d. Left Side Middle

Be sure to check for looseness or binding after each roller adjustment.

4. Table Roller Adjustment

A. Loosen (4) hex-screws on table top.

B. Adjust tension on rollers by turning set screw (on outside of table) until desired tension is achieved. DO NOT OVER-

TIGHTEN. See Figure 6.

C. Re-tighten the (4) screws on table top.

xix. TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING!

For your safety and the safety of others, turn the power switch off and always remove the plug from power source before troubleshooting. Repairs performed by unauthorized personnel could cause serious hazard. We recommend that service to this tool be performed by a qualified service technician with original equipment replacement parts.

EXCESSIVE NOISE.

Possible blade shaft bearing wear, motor belt loose or motor fan rubbing on housing. Have tool serviced.

BLADE WILL NOT CUT.

Check for worn out diamond edge.

Be sure that the arrow on the blade is rotating the same direction as the motor arbor and/or arrow on the blade guard. Make sure the blade is suitable for the material to be cut. If blade has been used to cut a material that is hard, it may have become dull, dress the blade by cutting a light weight abrasive building block to expose fresh diamonds.

Blade dressing stones are available from your local Pearl

Warehouse.

MOTOR WILL NOT START.

Check power supply. If the water pump turns on when the power switch is in the “on” position, but the motor does not, have the motor serviced.

MOTOR WILL NOT STOP.

The contacts in the switch may have become arched together in the on position, have it serviced.

MOTOR SHUTS OFF DURING OPERATION.

Check to see that the circuit you are using is not overloaded with lights or other equipment. The fuse or circuit breaker may not have sufficient capacity, use 20-amp power. If you are using an extension cord check the extension cord table to be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current this product will draw. See Page 21 for electric cord reference.

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.
