WARNING
ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact
with the cutting blade before operating the switch to
start the tool. Failure to heed this warning may cause
the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator
and result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of accidental starting, always make
sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging
tool into the power source. In the event of a power
failure or when the tool is not in use, turn the switch
OFF and pull plug out of the power source. This action
will prevent the tool from accidentally starting when
power returns.
USING THE RIP GUIDE AND MITRE GUIDE
See Figure 11.
The rip guide can be used from both the left and right side
of the cutting blade.
1. Turn knob on rip guide counterclockwise to loosen.
2. Adjust the rip guide in the desired position using the rip
guide scale, located on front and rear of table, to set
rip guide to desired width of cut.
3. Rotate the knob, clockwise, to tighten securely.
TO ADJUST ANGLES
Adjust rip guide to desired position and secure tightly.
1. Slide mitre guide onto rip guide from the front.
2. Adjust to desired angle using angle scale and tighten
securely with knob.
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 blade back to the line by twisting the
tile. Instead, back up and recut the tile slicing off a small
amount of tile until the blade is back on track.
To avoid this problem, use the rip guide when making
cross cuts, the mitre guide for mitre cuts and the adjustable
right side table for making bevel cuts, whenever possible.
To make a cross cut
See Figure 12.
Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into the
cut at a 90° angle to the blade, and the blade is vertical.
1. Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be
cut on material.
2. Adjust rip guide to desired position and secure tightly.
3. Place the material on the table and firmly against the
