OPERATION
TO MAKE A MITER CUT
See Figure 33.
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.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Set the miter guide to the desired setting, 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 AN L-CUT
See Figure 34.
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 both sides of the material.
 Set the miter guide to the desired setting, 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.
 Make the cut far enough into the material without
overcutting.
 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.
