CUTTING OPERATION
! WARNING: Before making any adjustments
or removing or installing attachments or
accessories, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position to avoid injury from an
accidental start.
Before turning the tile cutter on, verify the
alignment of the sliding table and the cutting
wheel. Always center the cutting wheel in one of
the cutting table grooves before cutting. Make
sure the cutting wheel does not contact the tile or
table before turning saw on.
STRAIGHT CUT (FIG. 29)
● Using a pencil or marker mark the area to be
cut on tile.
●
Place the tile on the sliding table and against
the Rip/Angle guide (C) and align the mark
with the cutting wheel.
●
Pull the ON/OFF switch (BB) upward to turn
the tile saw. Allow the cutting wheel to reach
full speed and wait until the stream of water
from the water nozzle completely covers the
cutting wheel.
● Using both hands to slowly push the sliding
table toward the cutting wheel to feed the tile
into the cutting wheel (Never force the material
through the wheel. Move at a slow consistent
pace).
● Turn the tile saw off once cut is performed.

speed and wait until the stream of water from the water nozzle completely covers the cutting
wheel.

proceeds, simultaneously push the sliding T-fence extension forward to feed the tile into the
cutting wheel (Never force the material through the wheel. Move at a slow consistent pace) at
