WATER PUMP INSTALLATION
1. Remove the water pump from its box and ensure that it is not cracked or WATER PUMP INSTALLATION
DIAGRAM
damaged in any way. (See Diagram)
2. Attach the end of the plastic tubing, hanging down from the cutting head,
to the water pump nipple.
3. Place the water pump in the rear of the water tray on its side, with the water
pump nipple also on its side.
4. Next, fill the water tray with water so that its level is higher than the water
intake nozzle.
5. Keep the power cord out of the water and plug it into the 3-prong
receptacle next to the power/reset housing on the front top of the saw.
6. Keep all debris and sediment clear of water-intake nozzle.
NOTE: SEE WATER PUMP SAFETY GUIDELINES & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
BELOW. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY.
WATER PUMP OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO ANY REPAIRS YOURSELF AS YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
1. Operate the pump with the water-intake nozzle below the water surface. DO NOT run the pump dry! Periodically,
check the water level, and add water as necessary to keep water-intake nozzle below the water surface.
Set the pump in any position as long as the water-intake nozzle is under water.
Do not inhibit or restrict the intake level on the pump. Adjust the water flow with the water-flow valve.
Never attempt to service the pump if it is plugged in. Also disconnect the power supply cord to the saw.
Pump is permanently lubricated — no oiling is needed.
Keep the intake screen clean. Periodically, check for and clear out any sediment or debris by snapping off the screen
and removing the (3) screws on the intake volute. Rinse out the volute and screen with clean water. Turn the impeller
to ensure it is turning freely. If the impeller does not turn freely, contact Q.E.P. |
7. Check the power cord for cuts or nicks, and never shorten or alter the cord in any way as this will void your warrahty.

WATER PUMP SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. The pump is equipped with grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure to connect the plug to a properly grounded
grounding-type receptacle to reduce the risk of electric shock. |
2. When assembling & installing the water pump system, be sure to support the pump and piping fully to reduce the
chance of pump failure or damage.
3, Never handle the pump by the cord, with wet hands, or when standing on a wet surface. Never pick up the pump
while it is plugged in.
4, Do not use the pump to pump anything other than water, or other compatible liquids. Never use to pump gasoline,
kerosene, or other combustible or corrosive liquids.
5. Should pump fail, always disconnect from power source before handling pump or attempting to unclog or service the
pump in any way.
6. Never let the pump operate dry. It is self-cooled by pumping liquid. Dry use will cause pump damage and may cause
the motor to fail.
