SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation
1.Put on safety goggles, hearing protec- tion, and an approved respirator.
2.Set the saw base on the material to be cut. Use the side of the base to align the diamond wheel with the layout line.
3.Make sure the diamond wheel is kept off the material to be cut, and turn the switch ON.
4.Move the saw steadily along the layout line while maintaining a firm grip on the tool.
5.To adjust the cut depth, unplug the tool, then loosen the wing bolt on the base adjustment bracket and move the base to adjust the depth (Figure 6).
6.After adjusting the cutting depth, fasten the wing bolt securely.
Figure 6. Adjusting the cutting depth.
If the diamond wheel stops or makes an abnormal noise while operating, promptly switch the saw OFF.
Shortened blade life and personal inju- ry may result if the diamond wheel is not used properly. Do not use the diamond wheel for making curved or radius cuts.
Always use the correct blade for the application. When cutting or scribing concrete, tile, or stone, always use the water attachment. Never use any blade other than a diamond blade with this saw.
NOTICE
If the cutting depth exceeds 20mm, as with concrete or other materials, the cut should be made with two passes; otherwise, blade and motor life may be shortened.
