OPERATION
TO MAKE AN L-CUT
See Figure 31.
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.
NOTE: Be sure the drop fence is in the fully raised position
when using the miter guide.
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 into 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.
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 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 cut-
ting 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.
TO MAKE A BEVEL CUT
See Figure 32.
Bevel cuts are made by feeding the material into the cutting
wheel with the motor head at an angle. It is recommended
that you only make cuts at 0˚, 22.5˚ and 45˚.
NOTE: Be sure to adjust the drop fence to the appropriate
position when using the miter guide or the rip fence.
WARNING:
Making cuts at angles other than 0˚, 22.5˚ and 45˚
angles could cause the cutting wheel to come in
contact with the sliding table resulting in damage
to the unit and/or possible serious injury.
Using a straight edge or square, draw a line on the tile
with a marker or grease pencil.
Slide the saw table to the front of the water tray before
tilting the saw head.
Loosen the bevel lock knob.
Set the saw arm to a 22.5˚ or 45° angle and tighten the
bevel knob.
Place the miter guide or the rip fence on the table the
desired distance from the wheel and lock in place.
Make sure miter guide or the rip fence is not in the cut
path.
Place the material on the table and firmly against the miter
guide and fence or the rip fence.
Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
