lock knob clockwise to lock.
NOTE: For all through cuts, place the saw in the down
and locked position.
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 cannot
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 chip-
ping of the material at the end of the cut, use a plunge cut.
NOTE: A more shallow blade adjustment may help minimize
chipping, see the Depth stop adjustments section.
Clean the saw table and miter guide frequently during use.
Debris from the cut material can interfere with tool function.
DANGER:
Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact with light
source.
WARNING:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
USING THE LASER GUIDE
See Figure 26.
Using a straight edge or square, draw a mark on the tile
with a marker or grease pencil. Turn the laser on and off by
pressing the laser guide switch located on the side of the
"D" handle. When the laser is turned on it will generate a red
line on the work surface. This line will let you see your mark
and the laser guide line at the same time, and will assist you
in lining up the mark for more accurate cutting of the tile.
