Parallel Cut
A parallel cut is any cut made with the miter scale (10)
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.
MAKING CUTS
Turn the switch knob to 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 cutting wheel.
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
Using the miter guide you can make angled cuts up to
45-degrees. To make an angled cut:
1. Loosen the lock knob (C) on the miter guide.
2. Adjust the miter guide to the desired angle and
tighten the knob.
3. Using the miter guide to align the material for angle
cutting.
4. Move the table forward with two hands during
cutting while holding tile securely against table
backstop.
5. Do not force the work piece or move the table too
quickly.

This saw is equipped with a safety feature that prevents the
power plug from short-circuiting in case it gets wet.
Whenever the saw’s power plug is disconnected from the
power source, the safety feature will trip the internal breaker.
This is normal.
To start the saw after it has been reconnected to a power
source, depress the red reset button (D, Fig. 20) so that it
locks in place.

Bevel Cut
The saw enables you to make beveled cuts at
45-degrees and 22.5 degrees.
CAUTION: If using the bevel function, the saw must be
positioned exactly at 45 or 22.5 degrees as shown on
the bevel indicator. Make sure the pointer matches up
with the line on the bevel scale.
To make a bevel cut:
1. Loosen the bevel lock (A).
2. Tilt the saw head so that the pointer on the saw
head aligns with the desired bevel as shown on the
bevel indicator (B).
3. Tighten the bevel lock.
4. Position and press the tile firmly with two hands
during cutting.
5. Move the table forward with two hands during
cutting while holding tile securely against table
backstop.
6. Do not force the work piece or move the table too
quickly.
Plunge Cut
1. Loosen the depth of cut lock knob (18).
2. Raise the cutting head to the full, upright position.
3. Align the tile under the cutting wheel by moving the
table to the desired position.
4. While holding the table securely in place, plunge the
saw into the material. Do not force the saw or move
the saw too quickly into the material.

ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
You can adjust the depth of cut to accommodate
materials of varying thickness, up to 3-1/4" inches.
1. Loosen the plastic wing lock nut (E) by turning
counter clockwise.
2. Turn Depth of Cut Lock Knob (18) counter clockwise
to loosen and raise cutter head up to higher
position.
3. Adjust Height adjustment knob (17) to desired depth,
lowering cutter head to verify depth as needed.
4. Tighten plastic wing lock nut (E) to lock Height
Adjustment knob (17) in place.
5. Lower cutter head until cutter head stops and lock
depth of cut knob (18) in place to secure cutter head
for through cuts or leave knob (18) loose for plunge
cuts.
You can set the plunge depth to make repeated plunge
cuts of the same depth in multiple workpieces.
If you are going to make repeated
plunge cuts at the same cutting depth,
leave the depth of cut lock knob loose. Otherwise,
always re-tighten the depth of cut lock knob.
