OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
12. Making Cuts
Use the tile saw in a well-lit area and on a level
surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the
risk of trips and falls. Use it where neither the
operator nor the casual observer is forced to stand
in line with the wheel.
Always draw the line to be cut on the tile using a
marker or grease pencil. If the tile is glossy and
difficult 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 cannot 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 fence when
making cross cuts, the miter guide for miter cuts,
and the bevel support for making bevel cuts,
whenever possible.
Clean the saw table, rip and miter guides, and
bevel table frequently during use. Debris from the
cut material can interfere with tool function.
To make a straight cut
Cross cuts are straight cuts. The tile is fed into the
cut at a 90° angle to the wheel.
a. Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area
to be cut on the tile.
b. Place the tile on the sliding table and firmly
against the rip fence. Use of the miter guide
can assist in making accurate cuts (Fig.12c).
c.
Make sure the tile is clear of the cutting wheel
before turning the saw on.
d. Turn the saw ON, let the cutting wheel reach its
full speed, and get wet before engaging the tile
into the cutting wheel.
e. Hold the tile firmly against the rip fence (D) and
push the rip fence into the cutting wheel by
applying a steady even pressure (forcing the
tile will cause the cutting wheel to slow which
could overheat the motor).
f.
When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait
for the cutting wheel to come to a complete
stop before removing any part of the cut tile.
WARNING
• Never place your hand or fingers in the path of the cutting wheel.
