WARNING: Setting the blade too low may cause damage
to the cutting table. If the blade is set too high, it may catch
or grab the material being cut, causing damage and
possible injury.
CUTTING DEPTH
The recommended cutting depth for all materials is
1
⁄4”
below the top surface of the cutting table (Fig M1). To
adjust cutting depth, loosen Mounting Plate Adjustment
Knob, set the blade height and tighten the Adjustment
Knob securely (Fig M2).

DIAMOND BLADE DO’s & DON’Ts
DO’s
1. Inspect blades prior to each use for cracks or uneven
wear. Discard cracked, chipped or bent blades.
2. Always use manufacture r ’s recommendation for
matching the right blade with the right material being
cut.
3. Inspect the arbor shaft for uneven wear before
mounting the blade.
4. Always use blades with the correct arbor size on a
compatible arbor shaft.
5. Ensure the blade is mounted with the rotation arrow in
the proper direction and is securely tightened with a
wrench.
6. Always wear proper safety equipment at all times when
operating the saw. Wear goggles at all times when
operating saw.
7. Always ensure a continuous flow of water on both
sides of blade before cutting any material.
DON’Ts

2. Do not operate the saw with blades larger or smaller
than recommended.
3. Do not cut dry with blades marked “Use Wet.”
