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.
