OMMEND that you read books, trade maga-
zines, or get formal training before begin-
ning any projects. Regardless of the con-
tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will
not be held liable for accidents caused by
lack of training.
To reduce the risk of
serious injury when using
this machine, read and
understand this entire
manual before beginning
any operations.
Loose hair, clothing, or

Cutting
To make a cut:
1. Using a marking pencil, mark the cut line on
a piece of tile.
2. Unlock the rip fence (Figure 9) and slide it to
the edge of the table.
Figure 9. Rip fence locking lever.
3. Line up the cut line on the tile with the saw
blade.
4. Adjust the rip fence against the edge of the
tile and lock the rip fence into position.
5. Turn the saw ON and allow it to reach full
speed. Be sure the blade runs smoothly. The
blade should also be wet from the water tray
below the saw.
6. Keeping your fingers out of the cutting path,
slowly slide the tile into the moving blade.
Note: DO NOT feed the tile into the blade
too fast. If the motor sounds like it is slowing
down during the cut, you are feeding the tile
too fast. Slow down the feed rate immedi-
ately.
