TO MAKE A 45° DIAGONAL CUT
See Figure 15
45° Diagonal cuts are also referred to as “long point to
long point cuts”.
1. Use a marker or grease pencil to mark the area to be
cut on the tile.
2. Slide miter guide onto rip guide from front. See To
Install the Miter Guide.
3. Adjust the rip guide to desired position and tighten.
4. Adjust miter guide to 45° using angle scale and
tighten knob.
NOTE: Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel
before turning on the saw.
5. Pull the ON/OFF switch out to the ON position. Allow
the cutting wheel build up to full speed and the blade
to be completely covered with water.
6. Hold the material firmly against the miter guide and
slide miter guide along rip guide. Feed the material
into the cutting wheel.
7. When the cut is made, push the ON/OFF switch in
to the OFF position. Wait for the cutting wheel to
come to a complete stop before removing any part of
the material.

TO MAKE A MITER CUT
See Figure 16
Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners
on material with the material at any angle to the wheel
other than 90°. Miter cuts tend to “creep” during cutting.
This can be controlled by holding the workpiece securely
against the miter guide.
1. Use a marker or grease pencil to mark the area to be
cut on the tile.
2. Slide miter guide onto rip guide from front. See To
Install the Miter Guide.
3. Adjust the rip guide to desired position and tighten.
4. Adjust miter guide to 45° using angle scale and
tighten knob.
NOTE: Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel
before turning on the saw.
5. Pull the ON/OFF switch out to the ON position. Allow
the cutting wheel build up to full speed and the blade
to be completely covered with water.
6. Hold the material firmly against the miter guide and
slide miter guide along rip guide. Feed the material
into the cutting wheel.
7. When the cut is made, push the ON/OFF switch in
to the OFF position. Wait for the cutting wheel to
come to a complete stop before removing any part of
the material.

TO MAKE AN L-CUT
See Figure 17
L-cuts are cuts that remove a piece of tile to fit in a corner,
around a cabinet, or a piece of molding and are made by
two separate cuts.
NOTE: Only over-cut on the bottom or underneath side of
the material being cut.
1. Use a marker or grease pencil to mark the area to be
cut on the tile. Outline the area to be cut on both sides
of the tile.
2. Adjust the rip guide to desired position and tighten.
3. Place the material on the table, firmly against the
rip guide.
NOTE: Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel
before turning on the saw.
