sawing guides
Performing Straight Cuts
1.Set the template base at the desired location on the ruler guide and tighten the threaded knob. Make sure the template base is firmly tightened to avoid slippage.
2.After the template base is positioned for the desired cut, place the material being cut flat against the side of the template base and the ruler guide.
3.Now you are ready to make your cut.
Performing Diagonal Cuts
The template base contains multiple templates for performing diagonal cuts on a variety of common size tiles: 4" , 6", 8" and 10" (101.6, 152, 203 and 254 mm) or greater. These are designed to secure the tile firmly in place during the cut for improved accuracy.
1.Locate the template that is appropriate for the desired tile size. With the selected template facing the vertical channel in the cutting table, set the template base at the desired location on the ruler guide. To cut the tile in two equal halves, position the template base by aligning the bottom edge of the selected template with the diagonal table groove extending from the vertical slot of the ruler guide. Tighten threaded knob once in place.
2.Place one corner of the material being cut into the template and rest the adjacent corner against the ruler guide. When cutting the tile in two equal halves, the latter corner should rest within the vertical slot of the ruler guide.
3.Now you are ready to make your cut.
Performing Miter Cuts
To make miter cuts, an optional miter block must be purchased. See Figure 13.
1.Place the lip of the miter block on the ruler guide with the threaded knob facing you.
2.Position the miter block such that a tile laying flat against the block may rest its
3.Place material onto miter block and you are ready to cut.

Using the Drip Guard
To minimize spillage, the saw features a side drip guard in addition to the rear drip tray to help collect runoff from the right side of the cutting table.
1.Lift the drip guard flap, located on the right side of the saw frame, until the drip guard locks into place.
2.Now you may begin operating the saw.
3.When the saw is no longer in use, unlock the drip guard by lifting the base of the metal struts on either side and then lower the drip guard. See Figure 14.
