OPERATION
MAKING CUTS
Always draw the line to be cut on the tile using a marker or
grease pencil. If the tile is shiny and hard-to-mark, place
masking tape on the tile and mark the tape.
A common problem when cutting tile is straying from the
marked line. Once you've strayed from the mark, you can not
force the wheel back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead,
back up and recut the tile slicing off a small amount of tile
until the wheel is back on track.
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT / RIP CUT
See Figure 31.
Cross / rip cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into
the cut at a 90° angle to the wheel, and the wheel is vertical.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Set the miter guide to 0°, lock in place, and tighten the
lock knob.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the miter
guide and fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Turn the pump 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 miter guide and feed
the material into the cutting wheel.
 When the 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 DIAGONAL CUT
See Figure 32.
Diagonal cuts are also referred to as "long point-to-long
point cuts".
 Adjust miter guide to 45° using angle scale and tighten
securely with knob.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the miter
guide and fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Turn the pump 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 miter guide and feed
the material into the cutting wheel.
 When the 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.
