OPERATION
NOTE: Laser may be difficult to see in bright sunlight.
With the wheel in the cutting position, move the tile until the
mark and the laser line are aligned.
Make several practice cuts on different styles and thickness
of material. Repeat the steps as necessary.
Removing Your Mark:
Position the tile so that the laser line is near the left edge of
your mark in order to remove the mark.
To Cut Your Mark:
Position the tile so that the laser line is near or over your
mark in order to cut the mark.
To Leave Your Mark:
Position the tile so that the laser line is near the right edge
of your mark in order to leave the mark.
After you have become familiar with using the laser guide,
you will be able to remove, cut, or leave your mark on the
work surface. Practice will teach you the correct position for
aligning your mark with the laser line.
To adjust the position of the laser guide line, refer to the
Adjustments section later in this manual.
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT
See Figure 27.
Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into the
cut at a 90° angle to the wheel, and the wheel is vertical.
NOTE: Be sure the drop fence is in the fully raised position
when making cross cuts or using the miter guide.
Using a straight edge or square, draw a line on the tile
with a marker or grease pencil.
Fully raise the drop fence.
Set the miter guide to 0° for right side or 45° for left side
use. Tighten the lock knob to lock into place.
Make sure the miter guide is not in the cut path.
Place the material on the table and firmly against the miter
guide and the drop 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.
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 miter guide and the
drop fence and slowly 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
removing any part of the material.
TO MAKE A RIP CUT
See Figure 28.
Rip cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into the
cut at a 90° angle to the wheel, and the wheel is vertical.
NOTE: When ripping tiles and using the rip fence, be sure
to secure the table in the rear, locked position.
NOTE: Be sure the drop fence is in the fully lowered position
when making rip cuts and using the rip fence.
Using a straight edge or square, draw a line on the tile
with a marker or grease pencil.
Fully lower the drop fence.
Place the rip fence in the desired position on the table.
Press down the lock lever to lock into place.
Make sure the rip fence is not in the cut path.
Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip
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.
