OPERATION
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT / RIP CUT
See Figure 22.
Cross/rip cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into
the cut at a 90° angle to the wheel, and the wheel is vertical.
 Using a straight edge or square, draw a line on the tile
with a marker or grease pencil.
 Set the miter guide to 0° for right side or 90° for left side
use. Tighten the lock knob, and lock in place.
 Make sure miter guide is not in the cut path.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the miter
guide and fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Flip 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 miter guide and fence
and slowly 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 straight edge or square, draw a line on the tile
with a marker or grease pencil.
 Set the miter guide to 0° for right side or 90° for left side
use. Tighten the lock knob, and lock in place.
 Make sure miter guide is not in the cut path.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the miter
guide and fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.

the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
 Hold the material firmly against the miter guide and fence
and slowly feed the material into the cutting wheel.
