TO MAKE A CROSS CUT (Fig. 17)
•
Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into
the cut at a 90° angle to the cutting disc. Using a marker
or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material.
•
Adjust parallel cutting guide to desired position and
secure tightly.
•
Place the material on the table and firmly against the
parallel cutting guide.
•
Make sure the material is clear of the cutting disc before
turning on the saw.
•
Turn the On/Off switch to the
ON
position.
•
Let the cutting disc get up to full speed and wait for the cutting disc to get wet before moving the material
into the cutting disc.
•
Hold the material firmly against the parallel cutting guide and feed the material into the cutting disc.
•
When the cut is made, turn the saw
OFF
. Wait for the cutting disc to come to a complete stop before
removing any part of the material.

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 cutting disc back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead, back up and recut the tile, slicing
off a small amount of tile until the cutting disc is back on track.
To avoid this problem, use the parallel cutting guide when making cross cuts, the mitre cutting guide for mitre
cuts and the tilting 45° vertical fence for making bevel cuts, whenever possible.
USING THE PARALLEL CUTTING GUIDE AND MITRE CUTTING GUIDE (Fig. 16)
The parallel cutting guide (1) can be used from both the left
and right side of the cutting disc.
•
Gently turn locking knob (2) on parallel cutting guide
counter-clockwise to loosen.
•
Adjust the parallel cutting guide in the desired position
using the parallel cutting guide scale (3), located on front
and rear of table, to set parallel cutting guide to desired
width of cut.
•
Turn locking knob clockwise to tighten securely.
To adjust angles:
•
Slide mitre cutting guide (4) onto parallel cutting guide
from the front. Adjust parallel cutting guide to desired
position and secure tightly.
•
Adjust to desired angle using angle scale (5) and tighten securely with mitre cutting guide locking knob (6).

TO MAKE A 45° DIAGONAL CUT (Fig. 18)
45° diagonal cuts are also referred to as “cross cut”.
•
Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be
cut on material.
•
Slide mitre cutting guide onto parallel guide from front.
•
Set the parallel cutting guide to desired width, and
tighten the locking knob to secure in place.
•
Adjust mitre cutting guide to 45° using angle scale and
tighten securely with locking knob.
•
Make sure the material is clear of the cutting disc before
turning on the saw.
•
Turn the On/Off switch to the
ON
position.
•
Let the cutting disc get up to full speed and wait for the cutting disc to get wet before moving the material
into the cutting disc.
•
Hold the material firmly against the mitre cutting guide and slide mitre cutting guide along parallel cutting
guide. Feed the material into the cutting disc.
•
When the cut is made, turn the saw
OFF
. Wait for the cutting disc to come to a complete stop before
removing any part of the material.
