OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 cannot 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 miter guide whenever possible.

• To prevent chipping of the material at the end of the cut, use a plunge cut.

• Clean the saw table and miter guide frequently during use. Debris from the cut material can interfere

with tool function.

Making a Cross/Rip Cut

Cross/rip 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.

• Set the miter guide to 0°, tighten the lock knob, and lock

in place.

• Place the material on the table and firmly against the

miter guide and fence.

• 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 sliding table fence 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 removing

any part of the material.
