OPERATION
TO MAKE A MITER CUT
See Figure 24.
Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners
on 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 miter guide.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Set the miter guide to the desired setting, lock in place,
and tighten the lock knob.
 Make sure miter guide is not in the cut path.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the miter
guide and fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Flip 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 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 AN L-CUT
See Figure 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 over cut on the bottom or underside 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 miter guide to the desired setting; lock in place.
 Make sure miter guide is not in the cut path.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the miter
guide and fence.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Flip 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 fence
and slowly feed the material into the cutting wheel.
 Make the cut far enough into the material without over
cutting other line.
 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.
 Turn the material over and make the cut along uncut
mark. This time, carefully over cut the other line and the
cut piece should separate from the rest of the material.
 When the second 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.
