3. Pull the on/off switch up to turn the saw on and wait for
the blade to be completely covered withwater.
4. Ease the cutting cart toward the blade then slowly feed
the tile into the blade. Continue pushing until the blade
cuts completely through thetile.
NOTE: The flip hood on the splash hood can be rotated
up to help align the line on the tile with the blade.

L-Cuts
An L-cut is a section that is removed from of a piece of tile
and is used when cutting a piece of tile to fit in a corner of a
cabinet or piece of trimmolding.
1. Outline the area to be cut on both sides of thetile.
2. Align the tile to the cutting cart fence and make the cut
far enough into the tile withoutovercutting.
3. Make a cut on the other mark on the tile
withoutovercutting.
4. Turn the tile over and make the cut along one of the
outlines, but this time an overcut can occur without
damaging the exposed surface of the tile due to the
radius of the blade. Overcut the other line and the cut
piece should be separate from the rest of thetile.
5. Turn off thesaw.
