OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER:
If the cord hangs up on the workpiece during a cut, release the switch trigger immediately and
allow the wheel to come to a complete stop. Unplug the saw and reposition the cord to
prevent it from hanging up again.
DANGER:
Using a saw with a damaged cord could result in serious injury or death. If the cord has been
damaged, have it replaced before using the saw again.
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 a straight edge guide whenever possible for making cross cuts and
miter cuts.
If wet cutting is desired, it should be performed outside.
6. To Make A Cross Cut (Fig 9)
Cross cuts are straight 90º cuts. The material is fed into the cut at a 90º angle
to the wheel, and the wheel is vertical.
• 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.
