ASSEMBLY
TILE CUTTING WHEEL
For maximum performance and safety, it is recommended
that you use the 7 in. cutting wheel provided with your
saw. Additional cutting wheels of the same high quality are
available at your local dealer.
WARNING:
Do not use cutting wheels rated less than the no
load speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning
could result in personal injury. Do not use wheel
with cracks, gaps, or teeth.
INSTALLING THE TILE CUTTING WHEEL
See Figures 11 - 12.
WARNING:
A 7 in. tile cutting wheel is the maximum wheel
capacity of the saw. Never use a wheel that is
too thick to allow wheel washer to engage with
the flats on the arbor. Larger wheels will come
in contact with the splash hood, while thicker
wheels will prevent the wheel bolt from securing
the wheel on the arbor. Either of these situations
could result in a serious accident and can cause
serious personal injury.
 Unplug the saw.
 M ove the sliding table to the front of the saw.
 Loosen the wheel guard lock and open the upper wheel
guard.

 Place the wheel wrench on the arbor nut then slide the
arbor wrench into the arbor.
 Holding the arbor wrench firmly to prevent movement,
turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to loosen.
 Remove the arbor nut and outer washer leaving the inner
washer on the arbor.
WARNING:
If inner washer has been removed, replace it before
placing wheel on arbor. Failure to do so could
cause an accident since the wheel will not tighten
properly. Never use wheels that have openings,
grooves, or teeth on this tool.
 Place the cutting wheel onto arbor with the arrows on
wheel going in the counterclockwise direction.
 Replace the outer washer. The double "D" flats on the
washers align with the flats on the arbor.
 Replace the arbor nut on the arbor. Using wheel wrench
and arbor wrench, tighten arbor nut securely.
NOTE: Two water nozzles come installed on this product.
The hole in each nozzle should face the cutting wheel.
 Close the upper wheel guard and tighten the wheel guard
lock securely.
