MANUAL THERMAL OVERLOAD
The motor is equipped with a manual overload protection
reset button. If the motors overheats, the red reset button
will "pop out" to open the motor circuit; stopping the motor
and water pump. If this occurs , the motor ON/OFF switch
must be set to OFF. After the motor cools, push in the reset
button. When it stays in, the motor can be restarted.

RECOMMENDED EXTENSION CORDS
Good motor performance depends on proper
voltage. Extension cords that are too long
and/or too small in wire gauge reduce the
voltage to the motor under load. Use extension
cords no smaller than indicated below.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
Your Tile Master tile saw is factory assembled and aligned
prior to shipment to ensure accurate cuts when your saw is
delivered. However, since FELKER® cannot control rough
handling during shipping, it is suggested that the alignment
be checked. If the saw is found in need of adjustment, refer
to the appropriate section(s) below.
There are two basic alignment checks for the Tile Master
and any adjustments made must follow these procedures to
ensure that the unit functions freely.
Adjustment tools required: Carpenter's Square, two (2)
7/16" wrenches, and 5/32" hex key.
1.
Check the Blade in Slot Alignment
*
The blade should be centered in the conveyor cart
slot.
*
Set-up your saw as described above and move the
conveyor cart back and forth from the front to the
rear of the pan. If the blade contacts either side of
the slot, the Cutting Head Location Adjustment
must be performed.
Cutting Head Location Adjustment (See Figure)
*
The Cutting Head Assembly is located between the
Set Collars (A-B). Using a 5/32" hex key, loosen
these two set collars. Move the Head Assembly
along the bar until the blade no longer contacts the
slot. Re-locate the Set Collars against the sides of
the Cutting Head again and retighten the set
screws.

Check the Parallel Alignment (See Figure 3)
*
The conveyor cart should travel parallel to the plane
115V 230V
of the blade.
*
Place a square rule against the backstop, lightly in
#8
contact with the blade. The blade surface should
#8 #14
be parallel to the square; i.e., no gap between the
#14
blade and the square at either the front or back
edge of the blade. Next, holding the square firmly,
traverse the cart fore and aft. The blade should
remain parallel to the square, staying slightly in
contact with it throughout its full travel. If the blade
does not stay in contact with the square, the Paral-
lel alignment must be performed.
Parallel Alignment
*
The parallel tracking of the cart can be adjusted by
moving the rails on which the cart travels. The
mounting holes in the pan are slotted to accom-
modate this adjustment.
*
Align the inside rail first. Loosen the four (4)
1/4"-20 fasteners (7/16" wrenches) locating the two
(2) Rails (R) so that both rails are free to move.
Move the end(s) of rail until the square is flush with
the blade as described above. Tighten the fasten-
ers of this rail and recheck the alignment. Once
alignment has been made, move the cart fore and
aft to locate the second rail parallel to the first.
Tighten the remaining two fasteners.
