Assembly  
1. Install appropriate blade (not included)  
using the box wrench and end wrench  
provided (Figure 2). The blade arbor  
retaining bolt has a reverse thread.  
Figure 4. Attach the vinyl hose.  
4. When connecting the tile saw to a  
threaded faucet or hose, use the sup-  
plied rubber connector. When using a  
water tank, the tank should be located  
at least 3112" higher than the work area  
(Figure 5).  
Figure 2. Attach the cutting blade.  
2. Attach the water valve to the saw using  
the machine screw provided. The plug  
should be attached in such a manner  
that the watering posts sit on either  
side of the blade, and the valve sits  
near the back of the handle (Figure  
3).

tion, and an approved respirator.  
2. Set the saw base on the material to be  
cut. Use the side of the base to align  
the diamond wheel with the layout line.  
Shortened blade life and personal inju-  
ry may result if the diamond wheel  
is not used properly. Do not use the  
diamond wheel for making curved or  
radius cuts.  
3. Make sure the diamond wheel is kept  
off the material to be cut, and turn the  
switch ON.  
4. Move the saw steadily along the layout  
line while maintaining a firm grip on the  
tool.  
Always use the correct blade for the  
application. When cutting or scribing  
concrete, tile, or stone, always use  
the water attachment. Never use any  
blade other than a diamond blade with  
this saw.  
5. To adjust the cut depth, unplug the tool,  
then loosen the wing bolt on the base  
adjustment bracket and move the base  
to adjust the depth (Figure 6).  
6. After adjusting the cutting depth, fasten  
the wing bolt securely.  
NOTICE  
If the cutting depth exceeds 20mm, as  
with concrete or other materials, the  
cut should be made with two passes;  
otherwise, blade and motor life may be  
shortened.
