Tools required: Your new saw can be completely as- sembled with the Wrench (E) provided.

???Set the Frame Assembly (1) on a flat surface or on a Husqvarna folding stand.

???Install the Water Pan Assembly (2) between the four Pan Guides (A) on the Frame Assembly (1). Locate the Pan (2) with the Drain Plug (B) at the operating end with the two Stops (C) located on the bottom of the Pan (2) straddling the front leg of the Frame (1). The Water Pan Assembly (2) should slide freely back and forth on the Guides (A) with little lateral move- ment. Adjust Guides if needed.

Install the Cutting Head Assembly (1):

1.Set the Cutting Head Assembly (3) on the pivot bar up between the Set Collar (U) and the ad- justable Cutting Head Position Limiter (V). See Figure 2. These components have been pre-set at the factory to align the blade with the slot in the center of the cart; this is adjustable.

See Alignment Procedures, section 8.

2.Using the 5/16??? Capscrews and Lockwashers provided, install the two Bearing Caps (D) to the bottom of the Cutting Head (3). To secure the Cutting Head (3) to the pivot bar, tighten the Capscrews with a 1/2??? wrench or use the Wrench

(E) provided. For plunge-cutting, leave the Bear-

ing Caps (D) free enough to allow the Cutting Head (3) limited movement up or down.

3.Insert the Locking Knob (F) with 5/16??? flat- washer through the slotted Lockbar (G) into the tapped hole in the belt guard. This is used to set the cutting depth of the blade. See sec- tion 5.

Set-up with the Torsion Spring (W):

With the Cutting Head installed on the pivot bar, rotate the Torsion Spring (W) until the inside spring loop (W1) engages around the lower edge of the motor platform. Loosen the 5/16??? Capscrew (X) in the spring Tension Adjuster

(Y) and move it to engage the Roll Pin (Z) into the outside spring loop (W2). Set the desired tension for your plunge cutting and tighten the Capscrew (X) to secure the Tension Adjuster to the pivot bar. Use the flats on the back of the Tension Adjuster with a adjustable wrench if extra tension is needed.

2.Slide the Control Valve (K) onto the flexible plastic tubing and push the open end onto the Hose Barb (J).

3.Set the Water Pump Assembly (5) in the deep end of the pan beneath the belt guard. Note:

The water pump inlet screen must be sub- merged in order to properly pick up water.

4.Place the Water Tube Assembly (L) to the back of the Blade Guard (M) and insert the two 1/4??? plastic nozzles (L2) into the two Ports (N) on the side of the Blade Guard (J). Route water tubing sa as to prevent interference with the Cart (4).

5.Insert the male plug into the Receptacle on the motor. The Water Pump (H) will start when the motor is turned on. For dry cutting, the water pump should be unplugged or removed to pre- vent damage to the pump.

NOTE: THE MOTOR WATER PUMP OUTLET IS

NOT TO BE USED AS A GENERAL PURPOSE

CONVENIENCE OUTLET. USE FOR CONNECTION

OF THE SUPPLIED WATER PUMP ONLY.

WATER PUMP SAFETY GUIDELINES

Always plug the saw power cord into a GFCI outlet when using. If a GFCI type outlet is not available, use a plug-in type GFCI plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Do not use

any temporary plug adapters.

???The water pump is equipped with a ground electrical plug, to reduce the risk of possible shock. Be sure to connect to a properly grounded type receptacle.

???Never pick the water pump up out of the water when it is plugged in.

???DO NOT EVER use the water pump to pump any- thing but water.

???Never service the pump when it is still plugged in.

???Never let the pump operate dry. It is self-cooled by pumping water. Dry use will cause the pump to fail.

???Maintain regularly and clean out debris from intake screen.

???Check the power cord for nicks or frays and never try to alter the power cord in any way.

Installation & Removal of Cutting Blade:

Always set the Motor Switch to OFF prior to mounting the blade.

Be sure you are using the correct blade for the material being cut. For example, blades are available for cutting materials such as wall tile, quarry tile, marble, slate and similarly hard materials. For the best results, always use genuine Husqvarna diamond blades. Contact your nearest dealer to select the correct blade for your spe- cific cutting needs.

1.Raise the Blade Guard (M) to fully up and tighten the wing nut on the side to hold it in the raised position.

3.Remove the Arbor Nut (O) and the Outer Blade Flange (P).

4.Check the Blade (Q) for Counter Clockwise rotation (CCW) and install on the spindle shaft against the Inner Blade Flange (R).

Rotation direction is indicated by an arrow on one side of the blade. Make sure the blade contact surfaces are clean.

5.Install the Outer Flange (P) with the large di- ameter against the Blade (Q). Hand tighten the Arbor Nut (O) with the 15/16??? Wrench (E) provided. Do not overtighten; hand tight is suf- ficient

6.Lower the Blade Guard (M) and retighten the wing nut to securely hold the guard down in place.

Using the Bladeshaft Lock

An easy-to-use Bladeshaft Lock system can be used to loosen the Arbor Nut (O). With one hand, push the Bladeshaft lock Lever back toward the Motor while rotating the Arbor Nut Counter Clockwise (CCW) with the 15/16??? wrench until the Lock engages the Blade- shaft. The Lock will then stay engaged, preventing the Bladeshaft from turning while the Arbor Nut is removed. The Lock will spring-return to the unlocked position when Lever and Bladeshaft are released.

???Install the Drain Plug (C) into the front end of the pan and fill with clean water until inlet filter of water pump is covered. See Features for capacity.

???Adjust the Pan Assembly (2) to accommodate the size of the tile to be cut and to obtain the most comfortable position for the operator.

1.When cutting smaller tiles, 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 tiles, such as 10??? or 12??? tile, the pan can be placed somewhere between the maximum forward and maximum rear positions.

3.When cutting larger tiles, the pan should be moved to the maximum forward position, thus giving the operator the best and most comfort- able position, even diagonal-cutting 22???.

4.When cutting smaller tile, adjust cart stop to limit cart travel. When making extra long cuts up to 31???, adjust cart stop to allow for extended travel.

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 (2) with enough water to fully submerge the water pump screen. It takes approxi- mately 12 gallons (46 liters) to fill the Pan.

???Before connecting the power cord:

* Check the Blade Shaft Nut (O) to be sure it is tight and that the Blade (Q) 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. Refer to the 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(K).

???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 without 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.

???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 (S) is supplied for setting cutting lengths.

???Move the conveyor cart slowly and carefully until the blade is in contact with the tile. For best cutting, a new blade needs a chance to ???break-in??? or ???wear-in??? slightly. It may take several cuts to open (expose the diamonds) of a new or closed blade.

5 ADJUSTABLE LOCKBAR WITH

DEPTH LINKING PROTECTION

FIGURE 3

Locknut

A Lockbar (G) is used to set the blade depth during cutting. The Lockbar has two (2) holes at the lower end which are used in specific combination with the three holes in the Frame (1). 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.

Refer to the chart in Figure 3 for the correct use with a 10???, 8??? or 6??? blade.

The TS 250 XL is shipped standard set-up for a 10??? diameter blade. To change the setting, locate the capscrew (AA) used as the pivot, loosen and remove the Lock Nut. Set the Lockbar (G) to the proper holes for blade size. Tighten the 5/16??? fasteners so that the Lockbar (G) is snug but free to pivot.

Check the setting by loosening the Knob (F) 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. (See also Section 10, Plunge Cutting.)

6 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.

7 RECOMMENDED EXTENSION

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.

8 ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES

Your tile saw is factory assembled and aligned prior to shipment to ensure accurate cuts when your saw is delivered. However, since Husqvarna 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 saw 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 (Q) should be centered in the middle slot of Conveyor Cart (4).

*Set-up your saw as described above and move the Conveyor Cart (4) back and forth from the front to the rear of the Pan (2). If the Blade (Q) contacts either side of the slot, the Cutting Head Location Adjustment must be performed.

Cutting Head Adjustment (See Figure 1)

*The Cutting Head Assembly (3) is positioned with the Set Collar (U) against the left side of the Motor platform and the Head Position Limiter

(V)against the inside.

*Loosen the Set Collar (5/32??? hex key), the Position Limiter (9/16??? wrench) and the four

(4) fasteners (1/2??? wrench) of the Bearing Cap

*Move the Head Assembly (3) along the Pivot Bar of the Frame (1) until the Blade (Q) is centered in the center slot. Locate the Set Collar (U) against the outside of the Motor platform again and retighten the set screw. Locate the Head Position Limiter (V) against the inside wall of the Motor platform, adjust to limit the Cutting Head movement (See section 10) and tighten the 3/8???-16 Bolt.

*Check that the Blade is now in the center of the middle slot. Tighten the four (4) fasteners of the

2.Check the Parallel Alignment

*The Conveyor Cart (4) should travel parallel to the plane of the Blade (Q).

*Place a Square rule against the backstop of the Cart (4), lightly in contact with the Blade (Q). The blade surface should be parallel to the square; i.e., no gap between the blade and the square at either the front or back edge of the blade. Next, traverse the cart back and forth along the Rails. The blade should remain parallel to the square, staying slightly in contact with it throughout its full travel. It should not move away from the Blade nor should the Blade push the the Square away. If the either happens, the Blade (Q) will not cut straight and the Parallel Alignment must be performed.

Parallel Alignment for Sraight Cuts

The Rails determine the path the tile on the Conveyor Cart (4) travels. For a straight cut, the Cart must then travel ???Parallel??? to the plane (or side surface) of the Blade. The path of the Conveyor Cart (4) must then be modified by adjusting the Rails to agin be Parallel to the side of the Blade. Slotted mounting holes in both ends of the Water Pan (2) are provided to allow for this adjustment.

Tip: Align only one Rail first; usually the Inner Rail. After one Rail is aligned the other is easily aligned using the Cart (4) as a guide. If moving the one end of the Rail is not enough to provide complete alignment, the other end can be moved in the opposite direction to provide additional Rail movement.

* Slightly loosen all 1/4???-20 fasteners (7/16??? wrenches) locating the two Rails so that both rails are free to move. Move one end of the Inner Rail until the square remains flush with the Blade while the cart is moved to and fro as described above in Check Parallel Alignment.

Tighten the fasteners of this rail and recheck the alignment.

* Once alignment of one Rail has been made set the second Rail parallel to the first. Traverse the Cart (4) back and forth along the rails and use it as a guide to locate the second rail parallel to the first. Tighten the remaining 1/4???-20 fasteners

9 PROFILE WHEEL SET-UP AND USE

See Figure 1

The TS 250 XL is designed for use with a Husqvarna?? 6??? Profile Wheel, such as P/N 542 62 10-81* (3/8??? Radius) or 542 62 10???82* (1/2??? Radius).

??? Raise the blade guard. Remove the spindle nut and outer flange. Remove the tile saw blade if one has been installed. (Refer to Section 5, Adjustable Lockbar, if needed)

??? Install the profile wheel onto the spindle shaft up against the inner flange with the working surface to the outside.

??? Secure into place by reversing the outer flange and tightening the spindle nut. Lower the Blade Guard

(J) back down over the profile wheel.

???Locate the material for profiling:

1.Set the edge of the part to be shaped parallel to the wheel.

2.Locate the material under the wheel. Pull the Conveyor Cart (4) with the material from under the wheel to set proper cutting height.

3.Loosen the Locking Knob (F) and lower the Cutting Head (1) so that the wheel just slightly makes contact with the material.

4.Secure the Cutting Head (1) into position with the Locking Knob (F) for cutting.

5.Note: Profiling usually takes several light passes to produce the best results. Set lower each time until the desire depth has been reached.

10 PLUNGE CUTTING

See Figures 1 & 2

Spring Force Adjustment:

Spring force can be adjusted by rotating Spring Tensioner

(Y). Loosen the 3/8???-16 Bolt (X) and rotate Spring Tensioner

(Y) to increase or decrease Spring Force. Tighten Bolt to secure Tensioner to Pivot Shaft. It may be necessary to slightly loosen the Bearing Caps (D) for proper and smooth operation. By loosening Knob (F), Pivot Head can be raised or lowered with minimal effort, depending on Spring Force adjustment.

Limiting Cutting Head Movement:

An adjustable Head Position Limiter (V) is located on the underside of the Head platform and is used to locate the Blade in the center slot of the Cart and, along with the Lockbar, as a raise and lower Position limiter for the Cutting

Head. See Cutting Head Adjustment; section 8.

11 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Before performing any maintenance, ALWAYS place the machine on a level surface with the motor OFF and disconnect the electrical current. Let the machine cool down!!

Your Husqvarna?? tile saw is a ruggedly constructed machine, engineered to give long, satisfactory performance. Simple daily maintenance and care will add to the life and productivity of your saw. After each day???s use: CLEAN

THE MACHINE!!

* Turn off and unplug the saw before performing any maintenance.

* Keep the cart top clean and free for cuttings. To clean it, flush the top surface and grooves with water.

* Drain, clean and refill the pan frequently. Flush the coolant system with plenty of water, then drain and refill the pan.

* If the water flow stops, check the water pump to see if the shaft and impeller turn freely. See the WATER PUMP TROUBLE-SHOOTING PROCEDURE section.

* It is always good practice to clean your tile saw after each day???s use. Drain the water and clean out the pan. Clean the rails. Before storing, it is good practice to wipe or spray rails with water- soluble oil (like, WD-40 or equivalent).

Entrust all repairs to your authorized dealer only.

If Water Stops Flowing,

1.Stop Sawing, then

2.Disconnect Electrical Plug from Outlet, then

3.Remove the Pump, then

4.Back Flush.

Back flushing is done by forcing water into the pump discharge and out through the screen. Most of the time this procedure works, and the pump can be put back into service. (See Figure below)

If the back flushing does not work, remove the screen and turn the impeller manually, looking for and rinsing out the impeller cavity of any dirt or foreign matter.

We carry out all repairs in the shortest possible time and at the most economical prices. (See front page for. address and phone numbers) Contact your authorized Husqvarna?? dealer concerning maintenance and re-

V-Belt Tensioning with Cam Adjustment:

Always set the Motor Switch to OFF and un- plug power cord before making any repairs or adjustments to your saw.

This tile saw is belt driven. The standard unit uses a 6 groove Poly-V Belt. The tension is factory set, but on oc- casion it may be necessary to adjust the belt especially

if it is being replaced. Again, adjust only with the saw turned off and unplugged.
