Operating The Saw
1
After you have made yourself familiar with the compo-
nents of your saw, the machine has been properly set
up, the bucket or water tray is filled with water, and the
electrical connection is established in accordance with
the relevant safety regulations, you may now begin
with the cutting operation.
2.
Before you start operation open the water shut-off
valve on the water pump.
3.
Place the tile on the table and position the tile such
that the flat face of the tile sits flush against the ruller
on the table.
4.
Line up the tile such that the desired cut lines up with
the blade.
5.
Deploy the rear scoop and attach the rear drip tray,
side extension table and side drip tray as necessary.
6.
Level the saw so water runs slightly towards the post.
7.
During the cut operation, the user must use both hands
to hold the tile in place while also apply even force to
push the table forward. Do not force feed the blade for
best cut results.
8.
Dress the blade occasionaly so the diamonds on the
blade do not glaze over.
9.
Always turn off the saw before you leave the machine
unattended. Unplug the power cable at the end of job.
NOTE: Refer to SUPPLEMENTARY UNPACKING AND
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION for more setup details.

PLUNGE CUTS
The handling of long or partials cuts can be made using
the plunge cutting method. In this case, the cutting head
will not be set to cut at a fixed cutting depth/clearance
while performing a cut. The cutting head is freely movable
for seesaw cutting operations.
Before starting the cut, the cutting head must be fully
1.
raised. Loose the "angle adjustment knob" to adjust
the blade cutting depth. (see figure 8) Be sure to
grasp the plunge handle as the head will rise suddenly.
2.
With the head raised, position the tile such that the
blade will make the intended cut. If making long cuts, it
is best to use the angle guide to help stabilize the tile.
Turn on the saw.
