OPERATION
 Hold the material firmly against the miter guide and slide
miter guide along rip guide. Feed the material into the
cutting wheel.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before remov-
ing any part of the material.
TO MAKE A MITER CUT
See Figure 15, page 16.
Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners
on material, decorative chair rail, and base molding with the
material at any angle to the wheel other than 90°. Miter cuts
tend to “creep” during cutting. This can be controlled by
holding the workpiece securely against the miter guide.

Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Slide miter guide onto rip guide from front.
 Set the rip guide to desired width, and tighten the knob
to secure in place.
 Adjust miter guide to desired angle, using angle scale,
and tighten securely with knob.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
 Hold the material firmly against the miter guide and slide
miter guide along rip guide. Feed the material into the
cutting wheel.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before remov-
ing any part of the material.
TO MAKE AN L-CUT
See Figure 16, page 16.
L-cuts are cuts that remove a piece of tile to fit in a corner,
around a cabinet, or a piece of molding and are made by
two separate cuts.
NOTE: Only overcut on the bottom or underneath side of
the material being cut.

Cut material to desired width using directions for cross
cut
 Adjust rip guide to desired position and secure tightly.
 Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip
guide.
 Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
 Hold the material firmly against the rip guide and feed
the material into the cutting wheel.
 Make the cut far enough into the material without over-
cutting.
 Turn the on/off switch to the OFF position.
 Turn the material over and make the cut along one of the
marks. This time overcut the other line and the cut piece
should separate from the rest of the material.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before remov-
ing any part of the material.
TO MAKE A BEVEL CUT
See Figures 17 - 18, page 17.
Beveled 22.5° and 45° cuts can be made using the bevel
table.

Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Tip up the bevel table.
 On underside of bevel table, pull down the two table legs
into right angles of the plate.
 Use first notches in legs to rest plate into 22.5° angle.
 Use second set of notches to angle bevel table into high-
est 45° angle.
NOTE: Make sure bevel table is locked firmly in place
before beginning cut
 Fold legs up and lay bevel table flat for 0° angle.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
 Hold the material firmly against the bevel table and feed
the material into the cutting wheel.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing
any part of the material.
