SECTION 5: OPERATION

Cut Preparation

To avoid serious personal injury, read and become familiar with the Start Up and Lubrication Sub-sectionson Pages 11 and 12 before making any cuts with the Model H3118.

Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from failure to wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protec- tion while cutting with the machine.

Cutting

To make a cut:

1.Using a marking pencil, mark the cut line on a piece of tile.

2.Unlock the rip fence (Figure 7) and slide it to the edge of the table.

3.Line up the cut line on the tile with the saw blade.

4.Adjust the rip fence against the edge of the tile and lock the rip fence into position.

5.Turn the saw ON and allow it to reach full speed. Be sure the blade runs smoothly. The blade should also be wet from the water tray below the saw.

6.Keeping your fingers out of the cutting path, slowly slide the tile into the moving blade. Note—DO NOT feed the tile into the blade too fast. If the motor sounds like it is slowing down during the cut, you are feeding the tile too fast. Slow down the feed rate immediate- ly.
