• Use only 8 in. (203 mm) continuous rim
diamond blades with a 5/8" arbor opening in
this saw . Failure to do so may result in severe
bodily injury and damage to the saw .
• The diamond blade that comes with this saw
will cut ceramic, porcelain and marble tile .
Due to the hardness of some porcelain, slate
and stone, purchasing a blade specifically
designed to cut these hard tiles, will speed up
the cutting time required . IMPORTANT: Always
let the blade cut at its own speed, moving the
material slowly into the blade . Do not force the
material being cut .
