When the saw is not being used, the ON/OFF switch
should be locked in the OFF position, using a long
shackle pad lock with a 3/16” diameter shank.
To lock the saw:
1. Insert the shackle through the hole located
underneath the switch and pass it all the way
through the lock tab on the switch and out the other
side.
2. Secure the lock.
3. Store the key in a secure place and away from
the saw.

MAKING CUTS
Make sure switch actuator is in the “OFF” position when adjusting the motor.
Do not attempt to cut very small pieces. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand or finger to come in contact with the diamond cutting wheel. When cutting any
material, make sure that it is fully supported. Hold workpiece firmly.
Do not force the material into the blade.
Make sure that the cutting-depth adjustment knob and the bevel-cut-adjustment knob are tightened
before operating the saw.
Always ensure the pump is plugged into the power receptacle on the tile saw. Plugging pump into
any other receptacle other than the one supplied on saw, may result in shock hazard.
Make sure the pump is completely submerged in water to protect pump from failure.
Angle Cut
Parallel Cut
A parallel cut is any cut made with the miter scale (3)
at 45º degrees (the face of the miter guide is parallel to
the cutting wheel). To make a parallel cut:
1. Ensure that the angle arrow (A) on the miter guide
points to 45º.
2. Loosen the knob (B) on the miter guide.
3. Adjust the miter gauge so that the desired angle on
the scale aligns with the angle arrow (A).
4. Tighten the knob.
5. Position and press the tile firmly against the miter
guide and move the table evenly with two hands
during cutting. Do not force the work piece or move
the table too quickly.
