attachments or accessories. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
Always do a dry or practice run to acquaint yourself with the path of the cutting wheel. Practice on a scrap tile to ensure that you are comfortable with the feel of the cutting operation. Push the cart past the cutting wheel before turn- ing the saw on. Make sure the cutting wheel is adjusted to the center of the groove and to the proper height.
CUT INDICATOR
After setting the cutting wheel depth and doing a practice run, turn the saw on to cut a groove in the cut indicator (AA). See Adjustments for further information.
STRAIGHT CUTS
1.Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on tile.
2.Place the tile on the cutting cart against the cutting cart fence (X) and align your mark with the cutting wheel.
3.Pull the on/off switch up to turn the saw on and wait for the cutting wheel to be completely covered with water.
4.Ease the cutting cart toward the cutting wheel then slowly feed the tile into the cutting wheel. Continue pushing until the cutting wheel cuts completely through the tile.

DIAGONAL CUTS
Diagonal cuts are also referred to as “long point to long point cuts.”
1.Align the point of the tile closest to the cutting cart fence (X) with the cut indicator (AA). The cut indicator signifies the exact location where the cutting wheel will exit the cutting cart in the fence. Note that the cut indi- cator will need to be cut when first using the saw (see Adjustments).
2.Align the front of the tile to the cutting wheel and hold against the edge guide.
