SAFETY INFORMATION

USE DUST MASK

Some dust created by sawing contains chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals come from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. To reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

POSITION OF TILE SAW

• To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position tile saw to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. The user should arrange a "drip loop" in the cord connecting the saw to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is the part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the receptacle.

• If the plug or receptacle does get wet,

DO NOT

unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MAKING CUTS

•

ALWAYS

draw the line to be cut on the tile using a marker or grease pencil. If the tile is shiny and hard-to-mark, place masking tape on the tile and mark the tape.

• A common problem when cutting tile is straying from the marked line. Once you’ve strayed from the mark, you can not force the wheel back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead, back up and recut the tile slicing off a small amount of tile until the wheel is back on track.

• To avoid this problem, use the rip guide when making cross cuts, the miter gauge for miter cuts and the bevel table for making bevel cuts, whenever possible.

• Another problem is cutting difficult material. To prevent chipping of the material at the end of the cut: first cut 1-1/2 in. of the material, then turn off the saw; flip the material around 180° and make the cut.

• Clean the saw blade, rip and miter guides, and bevel table frequently during use. Debris from the cut material can interfere with the function of the tool.

MAKING A CROSS CUT

Cross cuts are straight 90° cuts. The material is fed into the saw at a 90° angle to the wheel.

• Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material.

• Remove the miter gauge.

• Position the rip guide (D) the desired distance from the wheel for the cut and securely lock the lever.

• Place the material on the table, 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 (D) 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.

23 kobalttools.com

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MAKING A 45° DIAGONAL CUT

45° Diagonal cuts are also referred to as

“long point-to-long point cuts”.

• Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material.

• Install the miter gauge (C).

• Adjust miter gauge to 45° using angle scale and tighten securely with lock knob.

• Position the rip guide rail (D) the desired distance from the wheel for the cut and securely lock the lever.

• 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 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 removing any part of the material.

TO MAKE A MITER CUT

Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners on material, decorative chair rail, and base moulding 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.

• Install the miter gauge (C).

• Position the rip guide rail (D) the desired distance from the wheel for the cut and securely lock the lever.

• Set the miter guide to desired angle using the miter guide scale, and tighten securely with lock knob .

• 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 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 removing any part of the material.
