OPERATION
TO MAKE A BEVEL CUT
See Figure 33.
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˚ and 45˚ angles.
WARNING:
Making cuts at angles other than 0˚ 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.
 F ill the water reservoir with clean tap water.
 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 knob.
 Set the saw arm to a 45° angle and tighten the bevel
knob.
 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 sliding table fence
and 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 PLUNGE CUT
See Figure 34.
Plunge cuts are made by positioning the material directly
underneath the cutting wheel and lowering the wheel onto
the workpiece. This allows pieces to be cut from the center
of the material.
 F ill the water reservoir with clean tap water.
 Using a straight edge or square, draw a line on the tile
with a marker or grease pencil.
 Unlock the plunge lock lever on the motor head and raise
the motor head upward to its maximum height then lock
the plunge lock lever.
NOTE: The motor head is not spring loaded and will not
stay in the upright position with the plunge lock lever
unlocked.
 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.
 Holding the motor head firmly by the handle, unlock the
plunge lock lever and move the material into the desired
position for cutting.
