Operating Procedure - Felker TILE MASTER TM-1HT Instructions D'utilisation

1. When cutting smaller tile units, adjust the pan all
the way to the rear. The operator has full view and
control of the work with minimum stretching.
2. For cutting intermediate sized units, such as 8" or
10" tile, the pan can be placed somewhere between
the maximum forward and maximum rear positions.
3. When cutting larger units, the pan should be moved
to the maximum forward position, thus giving the
operator the best and most comfortrable position,
even when cutting 12" x 12" or larger units.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

WARNING: Read the Operating Procedure
completely before operating your tile saw.
Take into account the working conditions from
the health and safety point of view.
Always pay extreme care and attention to the
preparation of the machine before starting.
Remove all wrenches and tools from the
machine.
Always keeps blade guard in place.
• Fill the Pan with enough water to fully submerge the
water pump screen. It takes approximately 6-1/2
gallons (25 l) to fill the Pan.
• Before connecting the power cord:
* Check the spindle nut to be sure it is tight and that
the blade rotates freely.
WARNING: Check that the ON/OFF switch is in
the OFF position. Then connect the power cord
to a properly grounded outlet of the
correct voltage. See the decal near the power
cord for power requirements. If needed, use the
correct size three (3) conductor extension cord
to avoid excessive voltage drop. Never use lamp
cord type extensions.
Recommended Extension Cords chart below.
• Turn the switch to ON. The blade should turn
counter-clockwise, when looking at the blade guard
side. The water pump will start automatically when the
motor starts. Adjustment of the water supply may be
made by means of the Control Valve(G).
• Follow the blade manufacturer's recommendations for
dry or wet cutting. Wet cutting blades can be damaged
or destroyed without sufficient water. Only blades
specifically designed for dry cutting can be used with-
out coolant.
The water supply should be adequate, with
water flowing on both sides of the blade. Keep
the water clean and make certain the WATER
LEVER IS ALWAYS ABOVE THE PUMP INLET.
Do not run the water pump dry!! Unplug for dry
cutting.

A Lockbar (26) is used to set the blade depth during
cutting. The lockbar has three (3) holes at the lower end
marked 10, 8 and 6.
These are used as depth-limiting settings that, if used with
the correct blade diameter, will protect the rolling cart from
being cut by the blade.
The three (3) holes in Lockbar:
The Tile Master is shipped standard set-up for a
10" diameter blade. To change the setting, locate the
capscrew (27) used as the pivot, loosen and remove the Lock
Nut (29). Set the Lockbar (26) at the proper hole. Tighten
the fasteners so that the Lockbar (26) is free to pivot. Check
the setting by loosening the Knob (30) and lowering the head
fully down into the table slot. The blade segment should be
below the table surface, but not cutting into the table.
Refer to the
For straight cuts, position the tile squarely against the
back edge of the conveyor cart. Keep the cart clean
and free of cuttings. The standard rip guide is used.
Move the conveyor cart slowly and carefully until the
blade is in contact with the tile. The blade needs a
chance to "break-in" or "wear-in" slightly. It may take
about ten cuts to open a new blade for best cutting.
