The water pump gets clogged on my saw. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
The shavings from the tray will clog the pump on a wet saw if the water isn't changed frequently. The best way to combat this is by changing the water in the saw when tray shavings accumulate, approximately every 30-40 cuts. The shavings from the tray will float so you can easily see them.

What is the best way to cut around a vent?
If more than one tile is involved, you should be able to measure and mark your tiles easily, cutting with a wet saw. If, however, the required cut falls inside a tile and you can't cut from the edges, you must make a "plunge-cut" in the middle of the tile.
