Diamond Blades; Diamond Blade Do's And Don'ts; Saw Maintenance - QEP 60083 Manual De Operación

DIAMOND BLADES

1. Use only 7" (180mm) Continuous Rim Diamond blades in
this saw.
2. This tile saw is to be used with only Continuous Rim Diamond Blades. Failure to do so may result in severe
bodily injury and damage to the saw.
3. This saw comes with a standard blade that is ideal for cutting ceramic tile. If your project requires the cutting
of other substrates (ex. porcelain, slate, stone), it is recommended that you use the specific type of blade for
the material being cut.
DIAMOND BLADE DO's & DON'Ts
DO's
1. Inspect blades daily for cracks or uneven wear. Discard cracked, chipped or bent blades!
2. Always use manufacturer's recommendation for matching the right blade with the right material being cut.
3. Inspect the arbor shaft for uneven wear before mounting the blade.
4. Always use blades with the correct arbor size on a compatible arbor shaft.
5. Ensure the blade is mounted with the rotation arrow in the proper direction and is securely tightened with
a wrench.
6. Always wear proper safety equipment at all times when operating the saw. Wear goggles and dust mask
at all times when operating saw.
7. Periodically check the blade for cracks or bond fatigue.
8. Always ensure a continuous flow of water on both sides of the blade before cutting any material.
DON'Ts
1. Do not operate the saw without all safety guards in position.
2. Do not operate the saw with blades larger or smaller than recommended.
3. Do not cut dry with blades marked "Use Wet."
4. Do not exceed maximum RPMs recommended by the blade manufacturer.
5. Do not force the material into the blade. Let the blade cut at its own speed.
6. Do not cut material not recommended by the blade manufacturer.

SAW MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Do not service, clean or maintain the saw without first turning off the motor and unplugging the saw
from it's power source. Failure to do so may result in serious injury to the operator.
1. "Truing" the cutting table may be required occasionally. The saw blade must be 90˚ to the "tile stop" on the
cutting table to prevent blade "binding" while cutting tile.
a. Use a carpenter's square, held against the blade and against the "tile stop", at the back of the
cutting table.
b. If the two are not square (90˚), loosen the wing nut on the left guide rail, and move the guide rail until the
blade and cutting table are exactly square.
c. Tighten the wing nut on the guide rail securely.
2. For longest life and best performance, clean the saw after every use.
3. Wipe off all exterior surfaces and keep the cutting table clean and free of tile chips and debris.
4. Wipe off both the guide bars and the rollers on the cutting table.
5. Place light machine oil on the guide bar to facilitate smooth travel of the linear guide assembly.
