MAKING CUTS

Always draw the line to be cut on the tile using a marker or
grease pencil. If the tile is shiny and hard-to-mark, place
masking tape on the tile and mark the tape.
A common problem when cutting tile is straying from the
marked line. Once you've strayed from the mark, you can not
force the wheel back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead,
back up and recut the tile slicing off a small amount of tile
until the wheel is back on track.
To avoid this problem, use the miter guide whenever
possible.
Another problem is cutting difficult material. To prevent
chipping of the material at the end of the cut, use a plunge
cut.
Clean the saw table and miter guide frequently during use.
Debris from the cut material can interfere with tool function.
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT
See Figure 22.
Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into the
cut at a 90° angle to the wheel.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the
sliding table fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
 Hold the material firmly against the sliding table fence
and feed the material into the cutting wheel.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing
any part of the material.
TO MAKE A DIAGONAL CUT
See Figure 23.
Diagonal cuts are also referred to as "long point-to-long
point cuts".
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Install the miter guide to the left of the wheel.
 Adjust miter guide to 45° using angle scale and tighten
securely with lock knob.
