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 wheel back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead,
back up and recut the tile slicing off a small amount of tile
until the wheel is back on track.
To avoid this problem, use the rip guide whenever possible
for making cross cuts and miter cuts.
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT
See Figure 24, page 24.
Cross cuts are straight 90º cuts. The material is fed into the
cut at a 90º angle to the wheel, and the wheel is vertical.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Set the rip guide to 0º, tighten the lock knob, and lock in
place.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip
guide and fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Turn the flow adjustment valve to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
 Hold the material firmly against the rip guide and feed
the material into the cutting wheel.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before remov-
ing any part of the material.
TO MAKE A DIAGONAL CUT
See Figure 25, page 25.
Diagonal cuts are also referred to as "long point to long
point cuts".
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Set the rip guide to the desired angle, lock in place, and
tighten the lock knob.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip
guide and fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Turn the flow adjustment valve to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
OPERATION
 Hold the material firmly against the rip guide and feed
the material into the cutting wheel.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before remov-
ing any part of the material.
TO MAKE A MITER CUT
See Figure 26, page 25.
Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners
on material, decorative chair rail, and base molding with the
material at any angle to the wheel other than 90°. Miter cuts
tend to "creep" during cutting. This can be controlled by
holding the workpiece securely against the rip guide.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Set the rip guide to the desired setting, lock in place, and
tighten the lock knob.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip
guide and fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Turn the flow adjustment valve to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
 Hold the material firmly against the rip guide and feed
the material into the cutting wheel.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before remov-
ing any part of the material.
TO MAKE AN L-CUT
See Figure 27, page 25.
L-cuts are cuts that remove a piece of tile to fit in a corner,
around a cabinet, or a piece of molding and are made by
two separate cuts.
NOTE: Only overcut on the bottom or underneath side of
the material being cut.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on both sides of the material.
 Set the rip guide to the desired setting, lock in place, and
tighten the lock knob.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip
guide and fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Turn the flow adjustment valve to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
