CAUTION!

Allow the saw blade to do the work, applying excessive forward pressure to the tool will slow

down the RPM’s and burn up the motor, which voids the limited warranty of the tool.

This tools should only be used for cutting on a horizontal surface.

Be sure to follow daily maintenance before and after each use.

OPTION 1: FREE-HAND CUTTING

If you are cutting stone or tile less than 20 mm (3/4”) thick, the cut can be done in

one pass (allow saw blade to do the work).

2. If you are cutting stone or tile more than 20mm thick you will need to make the

cut in two passes. Adjust the height to 15-20mm for the rst pass, then adjust

the saw blade below the stone for the second pass ( allow the saw blade to do

the work).

3. Adjust the amount of water-ow to cool the blade and remove the waste, excessive

water ow will get inside the tool and trip the GFCI.

4. Set the base plate on the workpiece and align to the cutting mark on the base plate

to cut line on stone.

5. Press the on/off switch to start the motor and allow the tool to attain full speed before

starting to cut.

6. Advance the tool slowly allowing the blade to do the work, keeping the base plate at

on the stone and the cut mark in line with your cut line.

7. Slow the cutting speed for the last 1/2” to prevent the tile or stone from chipping.

OPTION 2: USING THE RULER GUIDE

Install the ruler on the AWS-125 by inserting the arms into the appropriate slots on the

base plate and tightening the screws to secure the ruler in place. When using the edge

of the stone as your guide, install the ruler so that it is below the base plate (Figure-17).

Measure the distance from the edge to the intended cut and use this measurement

to set the ruler at the proper distance. When using a straight edge as a guide, install

the ruler so that it is above the base plate (Figure-18). Measure the distance from the

straight edge to the intended cut and use it to set the ruler at the proper distance.

When cutting, simply keep the ruler in contact with the straight edge while

maintaining even

cutting pres-

sure and your

cuts will b e
