Bevel Cut (Fig. 41)
WARNING:
The saw is adjustable to only three positions (0°, 22.5°
or 45°). Any other bevel cut will cut into the work table.
1. Adjust bevel cut as described in the “Bevel Cut Adjust-
ment” on page 26.
2. Position the tile on the work table, pressed against the
work-table fence.
3. To use the laser, rst calibrate the laser beam as
described in “Laser Beam Calibration” on page 28, and
make sure that the laser beam is aligned with the cut-
ting line.
4. Adjust the universal guide to the desired distance from
the blade. Use the scale rules on the work-table fence
for reference.
5. Lift the ON/OFF switch to turn the saw on.
6. Wait until the blade has come up to speed and is thor-
oughly wet.
7. Ease the work table towards the blade to slowly feed
the tile into the blade. Continue pushing until the blade
cuts completely through the tile (Fig. 46).
8. Turn off the saw, pull the work table back, and remove
the cut pieces and any debris.
