OPERATION
MAKING CUTS
Always draw the line to be cut on the tile using a marker or
grease pencil. If the tile is shiny and hard-to-mark, place
masking tape on the tile and mark the tape.
A common problem when cutting tile is straying from the
marked line. Once you’ve strayed from the mark, you can not
force the wheel back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead,
back up and recut the tile slicing off a small amount of tile
until the wheel is back on track.
To avoid this problem, use the rip guide when making cross
cuts, the miter guide for miter cuts and the adjustable right
side table for making bevel cuts, whenever possible.
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT
See Figure 13, page 16.
Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into the
cut at a 90° angle to the wheel.
Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
Adjust rip guide to desired position and secure tightly.
Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip
guide.
Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
Hold the material firmly against the rip guide and feed
the material into the cutting wheel.
When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before remov-
ing any part of the material.
TO MAKE A 45° DIAGONAL CUT
See Figure 14, page 16.
45° Diagonal cuts are also referred to as “long point to long
point cuts”.
Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
Slide miter guide onto rip guide from front.
Set the rip guide to desired width, and tighten the knob
to secure in place.
Adjust miter guide to
45°
using angle scale and tighten
securely with knob.
Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
ON/OFF SWITCH
See Figure 11, page 15.
Your saw is equipped with an on/off switch that has a built-in
locking feature. This feature is intended to prevent unauthor-
ized and possible hazardous use by children and others.
TO TURN YOUR SAW ON:
With the switch key inserted into the switch, lift the switch
button to turn ON.
TO TURN YOUR SAW OFF:
Press the switch button down to turn OFF.
TO LOCK YOUR SAW:
With the saw turned OFF, pull the switch key from the
switch and store in a safe, secure location.
WARNING:
In the event of a power failure or when the tool is not in
use, turn the switch OFF and remove the switch key.
This action will prevent the tool from accidentally starting
when power returns.
WARNING:
ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact
with the cutting wheel before operating the switch to
start the tool. Failure to heed this warning may cause the
workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator and
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make
sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging
tool into the power source.
USING THE RIP GUIDE AND MITER GUIDE
See Figure 12, page 15.
The rip guide can be used from both the left and right side
of the cutting wheel.
Turn knob on rip guide counterclockwise to loosen.
Adjust the rip guide in the desired position using the rip
guide scale, located on front and rear of table, to set rip
guide to desired width of cut.
Rotate the knob, clockwise, to tighten securely.
To adjust angles:
Slide miter guide onto rip guide from the front.
Adjust rip guide to desired position and secure tightly.
Adjust to desired angle using angle scale and tighten
securely with miter guide knob.
