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.

with concrete or other materials, the
cut should be made with two passes;
otherwise, blade and motor life may be
shortened.
