STEPS FOR MAKING A DIAGONAL CUT:
Diagonal cuts can be made on rectangular tiles using the supplied angle gauge.
FIGURE 7
shows a typical set up for cutting the corner off a square tile.
STEPS FOR MAKING MITER OR 45 DEGREE CUTS:
The work table can be tilted up to 45 degrees to accommodate bevel cutting.
Loosen the knob on the front of the tile cutter as shown in
FIGURE 8
. Use the scale
on the front of the tile cutter to set the desired table tilt angle. Re-tighten the knob
to secure the table.

maintenance, cleaning or replacing the blade!
1. Unplug the machine from the power source.
2. Remove the water tank from underneath the machine.
3. Remove the lower blade guard by removing the screws on each side of the
lower blade guard

and the diamond blade off the end of the motor spindle.
6. Slide the new diamond blade and the outer flange over the end of the motor spindle. Note: Make
sure the directional arrow printed on the diamond blade is pointing in a counter-clockwise direction
when viewing the machine facing the arbor nut.
