OPERATION
TO MAKE AN L-CUT
See Figure 20.
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 overcut on the bottom or underneath side of
the material being cut.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Remove the miter guide.
 Position the rip guide the desired distance from the wheel
for the cut and securely lock the lever.
 Place the material on the table and firmly 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 firmly against the rip guide and feed
the material into the cutting wheel.
 Make the cut far enough into the material without over-
cutting.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before remov-
ing any part of the material.
 Turn the material, adjust the rip guide, and make the
second cut along one of the marks. This time overcut the
other line and the cut piece should separate from the rest
of the material.
 When the second 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.
TO MAKE A BEVEL CUT
See Figures 21 - 22.
Beveled 22.5° and 45° cuts can be made using the bevel
table.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Remove the rip guide.
 Tilt the bevel table.
 On underside of bevel table, pull down the table legs into
right angles of the plate.
• Use first notches in legs to rest plate at 22.5°
angle.
• Use second set of notches to angle bevel table
at a 45° angle.
NOTE: Make sure bevel table is securely in place
before beginning cut.
