A. Confirm power cord is properly plugged in.
B. Check power source voltage is 120V from outlet.
C. Switch is on the "ON" position.
THE PUMP IS FLOWING WATER:
A. Make sure water in tray is high enough.
B. Check water hose for connection or clogs.
C. Confirm power cord is properly plugged in.
D. Check for excess debris on intake filter.

SAW MAINTENANCE (cont.)
CLEANING
Fig Q1 Fig Q2
After several uses, diamonds on the outer edge of the
blade may become smoothed or “glazed” over. This will
reduce grinding efficiency and may cause the blade to
bend giving the illusion of an alignment problem. When
this occurs, new diamonds need to be exposed, or
"dressed". The diamond blade can be dressed using
the Q.E.P. Rubbing Stone (part # 10022) and following
the following steps.
BLADE DRESSING
Place the Q.E.P. Rubbing Stone against the “tile stop”,
at the back of the cutting table (Fig Q1). Power up the
motor and make sure water is flowing over both sides
of the blade. Make 6-8 cuts off the end of the Rubbing
Stone (Fig Q2). This should expose new diamond
fragments for better cutting.
DO NOT expose the motor to direct water. If excessive
water is introduced into the motor, electric shock and/or
damage to the motor can occur.
DO NOT SERVICE the electric motor's internal
components yourself. Contact Q.E.P. for a list of
authorized service centers
For longest life and best performance, clean the saw after
every use.
Wipe off all exterior surfaces and keep the Cutting Table
clean and free of tile chips and debris. Keep ventilation
slots of the motor clean to prevent overheating
Wipe off both the Guide Bars and the rollers on the
Cutting Table. Inject a little lubricant into the Guide Tube
under the Cutting Table, and spread some on the Guide
Rails.
Pump clean/fresh water for one minute through the water
pump and blade guard to prevent waste build-up &
clogging
Inspect the blade for overall integrity, and rim for wear
and damage.
