• Feed the work piece against the rotation of the blade only!

Water cooling to the blade
• Water cooling through the blade guard should always be
used when miter cutting and when diagonal cutting 500
mm (20") tile. The cut is longer than the cart and at the
start of the cut, the blade will not pick up any water from
the slot in the cart.
• Turn the water knob slightly to redirect water to the blade.
• When reaching the slot in the cart, the water to the blade
can be shut off in order to keep the area as clean as
possible.
