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 gauge for miter cuts and
the bevel table for making bevel cuts, whenever possible.
• Another problem is cutting difcult material. To prevent chipping of the material at the end of the cut:
rst cut 1-1/2 in. of the material, then turn off the saw; ip the material around 180° and make the
cut.
• Clean the saw blade, rip and miter guides, and bevel table frequently during use. Debris from the cut
material can interfere with the function of the tool.
MAKING A CROSS CUT
Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed
into the saw at a 90° angle to the wheel.
• Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be
cut on material.
• Remove the miter gauge.
• Position the rip guide (D) the desired distance from the
wheel for the cut and securely lock the lever.
• Place the material on the table, rmly 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 rmly against the rip guide (D) 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.
