LOCK-ON BUTTON
See Figure 7, page 16.
The saw is equipped with a lock-on feature, which is conve-
nient for continuous use for extended periods of time.
To lock-on:
 Depress the switch trigger.
 Push in and hold the lock-on button, located on the side
of the handle.
 Release the switch trigger.
 Release the lock-on button.
 To release the lock, depress and release the switch
trigger.

ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH

See Figure 8, page 16.
Always keep correct wheel depth setting. The correct wheel
depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the
material being cut. More wheel depth will increase the chance
of kickback and cause the cut to be rough.
To adjust the wheel depth:
 Unplug the saw.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental start-
ing causing serious injury.
 Lower wheel depth lever.
 Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower
saw until the desired depth of cut is reached.
 Return wheel depth lever to upper position.
OPERATING THE SAW
See Figures 9 - 10, page 16.
It is important to understand the correct method for operat-
ing the saw. Refer to the figures in this section to learn the
correct and incorrect ways for handling the saw.
WARNING:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper
control of the saw. Loss of control could cause an ac-
cident resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
When lifting the saw from the workpiece, the wheel is
exposed on the underside of the saw.
To make the best possible cut:
 Hold the saw firmly.
 Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making
a cut.
OPERATION
 Support the workpiece so that the cut is always on your
left.
 Support the workpiece near the cut.
 Clamp the workpiece securely so that the workpiece will
not move during the cut.
 Avoid placing the saw on the part of the workpiece that
will fall off when the cut is made.
 Place the workpiece with the "good" side down.
 Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before
beginning your cut.
 Keep the cord away from the cutting area. Always place
the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the workpiece
while making a cut.
DANGER:
If the cord hangs up on the workpiece during a cut,
release the switch trigger immediately and allow the
wheel to come to a complete stop. Unplug the saw and
reposition the cord to prevent it from hanging up again.
DANGER:
Using a saw with a damaged cord could result in serious
injury or death. If the cord has been damaged, have it
replaced before using the saw again.

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 a straight edge guide whenever
possible for making cross cuts and miter cuts.
If wet cutting is desired, it should be performed outside.
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT
See Figure 11, page 16.
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.
 Secure the workpiece.
 If wet cutting is desired, turn the water supply valve to
start water flow.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the saw.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the wheel into the
material.
