OPERATION

Cutting Tile and Stone

WARNING:
Do not attempt to cut pieces too small to allow for safe
handling. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sud-
den slip could cause your hand or finger to come in con-
tact with the blade. When cutting any material, make
sure that it is fully supported and that the work piece is
held firmly.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the knob on the blade guard and the
bevel-cut adjustment knob are tightened before operat-
ing the saw.
CAUTION:
Make sure the "Stop/Go" knob is in "STOP" position
before operation.
CAUTION:
To avoid cutting into the work table, make sure that the
lowest position of the blade is less than 9/16" (15mm)
below the surface of work table.

Straight Cut

1. Position the tile on the work table, pressed against the
work-table fence.
. To use the laser, first calibrate the laser beam as
described in "Laser Beam Calibration" on page 8, and
make sure that the laser beam is aligned with the cutting
line.
3. Adjust the universal guide to the desired distance from
the blade. Use the scale rules on the work-table fence
for reference.
4. Lift the ON/OFF switch to turn the saw on.
5. Wait until the blade has come up to speed and is thor-
oughly wet.
6. Ease the work table towards the blade to slowly feed
the tile into the blade. Continue pushing until the blade
cuts completely through the tile (Fig. 44).
7. Turn off the saw, pull the work table back, and remove
the cut pieces and any debris.
