MITER CUTS: 22.5˚ AND 45˚
Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners
on tile, decorative chair rail and base molding.
The cutting head of the saw is adjustable to three posi-

cart allow for the cutting head to be set at the three settings
without cutting into the cutting cart assembly (H).
1. Loosen the bevel lock knob (CC) in the rear of the saw
and adjust the head of the saw to the correct miter
degree. The bevel pointer (DD) on the front of the saw
will show the angle of adjustment.
2. Always do a dry run and push the cart past the cutting
wheel before turning on the saw. Ensure the cutting
wheel is adjusted to the center of the groove.
3. Mark the tile and line the tile against the fence of the
cutting cart and the edge guide. Proceed to make the
cut.
4. Turn off the saw.
