Basic saw cuts
General handling
– Try a few simple projects using scrap material until you develop a "feel"
for the machine.
– Always make dry runs (without power) before fi nish cuts so that you
can check the path of the disc.
Vertical straight cross cut (fi g. R)
• Set the bevel angle to 0°.
• Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc in lowest position.
• Place the workpiece fl at on the table and against the fence, with the
fi nished side up. Align the marking on the workpiece with the marking
in the kerf indicator.
• Keep both hands away from the path of the cutting disc.
• Switch the machine on and allow the cutting disc to reach full speed.
Wait until the cutting disc is completely covered with water.
• Slowly feed the workpiece into the cutting disc, keeping it fi rmly
pressed against the fence. Do not force. The cutting disc speed should
be kept constant.
• After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the cutting disc
to stop and remove the workpiece.
Bevel cross-cut (fi g. S)
Bevel angles can be set at 22.5° and 45°.
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (11) and set the bevel as desired.
38
• Tighten the bevel clamp knob fi rmly.
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Diagonal cut (fi g. T1 & T2)
The edge guide (5) allows cutting of angles at 45°.
• Place the edge guide with the mounting bracket (72) over the fence.
• Flip the guide fence (73) into position for the required application:
– Flip the fence to the right for cutting small pieces from large tiles.
– Flip the fence to the left for any other application.
• Set the parallel fence to the required distance.
• Tighten the knob (74) to secure the guide in place.
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Plunge cut (fi g. U)
A plunge cut is used to remove the centre of a tile, e.g. for electrical
outlets, drains, etc.
• Mark the area to be cut on both sides of the tile.
• Fit the appopriate size of cutting disc.
• Adjust the cutting depth to allow the cutting disc to saw only halfway
through the workpiece.
• Place the workpiece fl at on the table and against the fence, with the
fi nished side up. Align the marking on the workpiece with the marking
in the kerf indicator.
• Switch the machine on and allow the cutting disc to reach full speed.
Wait until the cutting disc is completely covered with water.
• Move the table until the marking on the workpiece is underneath the disc.
• Lower the arm to feed the cutting disc into the workpiece. Do not
overcut the mark. As soon as the marking has been cut, lock the arm
into its highest position.
• Repeat as for the other markings.
• Turn the workpiece upside down. Proceed as described above for the
second cuts to meet the fi rst.
• After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the cutting disc
to stop and remove the workpiece.
Grooving (fi g. V)
A groove is made into a tile e.g. to accommodate hidden wiring.
• Adjust the cutting depth as required.
• Place the workpiece fl at on the table and against the fence, with the
down side up. Align the marking on the workpiece with the marking in
the kerf indicator.
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
• Repeat the procedure to make a wider groove.
