 If wet cutting is desired, turn the water supply valve to
start water flow.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the saw.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the wheel into the
material.
 When the cut is made, release the switch trigger. Wait
for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before
removing the saw from the material.
 Stop the water flow.
TO MAKE A DIAGONAL CUT
See Figure 12, page 17.
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.
 Secure the workpiece.
 If wet cutting is desired, turn the water supply valve to
start water flow.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the saw.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the wheel into the
material.
 When the cut is made, release the switch trigger. Wait
for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before
removing the saw from the material.
 Stop the water flow.
TO MAKE A MITER CUT
See Figure 13, page 17.
Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners
with the material at any angle to the wheel other than 90°.
Miter cuts tend to "creep" during cutting. This can be con-
trolled by holding the workpiece securely against a straight
edge guide.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Secure the workpiece.
 If wet cutting is desired, turn the water supply valve to
start water flow.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the saw.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the wheel into the
material.
 When the cut is made, release the switch trigger. Wait
for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before
removing the saw from the material.
 Stop the water flow.
OPERATION
TO MAKE AN L-CUT
See Figure 14, page 17.
L-cuts are cuts that remove a piece of tile to fit in a corner,
around a cabinet, or a piece of molding and are made by
two separate cuts.
NOTE: Only overcut on the bottom or underneath side of
the material being cut.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on both sides of the material.
 Secure the workpiece.
 If wet cutting is desired, turn the water supply valve to
start water flow.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the saw.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the
wheel to get wet before moving the wheel into the material.
 Make the cut far enough into the material without overcut-
ting.
 Release the switch trigger. Wait for the cutting wheel to
come to a complete stop before removing the saw from
the material.
 Turn the material over and make the cut along one of the
marks. This time overcut the other line and the cut piece
should separate from the rest of the material.
 Depress the switch trigger.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the
wheel to get wet before moving the wheel into the material.
 When the cut is made, release the switch trigger. Wait
for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before
removing the saw from the material.
 Stop the water flow.
TO MAKE A BEVEL CUT
See Figure 15, page 17.
Beveled 45° cuts can be made by adjusting the position of
the motor head.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Secure the workpiece.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob on the front of the saw.
 Rotate the base until you reach the desired angle setting
on the bevel scale.
 Tighten the bevel lock knob securely.
 If wet cutting is desired, turn the water supply valve to
start water flow.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the saw.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the
wheel to get wet before moving the wheel into the material.
 When the cut is made, release the switch trigger. Wait
for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before
removing the saw from the material.
 Stop the water flow.
