Types of Cuts

WARNING: Do not make freehand cuts.
Always do a 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 turning the saw on.
Straight Cuts (Fig. Q, AA, BB)
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
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.
nOTE: The wheel cover can be rotated up to help align the line on the tile with the cutting
wheel. Loosen the bolt

wheel cover.
5. Turn off the saw.
Diagonal Cuts (Fig. Q)
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
2. Align the front of the tile to the cutting wheel.
3. Turn the saw on and make the cut.
4. Turn off the saw.
L-Cuts (Fig. Q)
back to
An L-cut is a section that is removed from a piece of tile and is used when cutting a piece of
tile to fit in a corner of a cabinet or piece of trim molding.
1. Outline the area to be cut on both sides of the tile.
2. Align the tile to the cutting cart fence
without overcutting.
3. Make a cut on the other mark on the tile without overcutting.
4. Turn the tile over and make the cut along one of the outlines, but this time an overcut can
occur without damaging the exposed surface of the tile due to the radius of the cutting
wheel. Overcut the other line and the cut piece should be separate from the rest of the tile.
5. Turn off the saw.
Plunge Cuts (Fig. A, M)
Plunge cuts are utilized when removing the center of a piece of tile for electrical outlets and
for making cuts for air conditioner registers.
1. Outline the area to be cut on both sides of the tile.
2. Release the cutting head by loosening the head lock knob
3. Adjust the depth of cut knob
cutting wheel from traveling too deep and cutting into the cutting cart. 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.
4. Place the tile on the cutting cart with the finished side facing up.
5. Align the mark with the cutting wheel.
6. Turn the saw on. With one hand on the plunge handle
keeping both hands at a safe distance from the cutting wheel, lower the head of the saw
slowly into the tile. Cut into the tile up to the edge of the mark without overcutting.
7. Repeat the process on each outline without overcutting.
8. Turn the tile over. Repeat steps 2 and 3, overcutting along the lines which will allow the
piece to fall out.
nOTE: The corners may need to be trimmed with tile nippers (not included with the saw).
9. Turn off the saw.
Miter Cuts: 22.5° and 45° (Fig, A, M, P, Q)
Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners on tile, decorative chair rail and
base molding.
The cutting head of the saw is adjustable to three positions: 0°, 22.5° or 45°. The three
grooves 37 in the cutting cart allow for the cutting head to be set at the three settings
without cutting into the cutting cart assembly
