Single Step Cutting

DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL!  It will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it was

designed.

Use original Rodia® wet cutting blades only.

  Loosen the Adjustable Cutting Guide 

  retaining knob.

  Position the Adjustable Cutting Guide to

  desired cutting length.

  Tighten the retaining knob.

    Place the tile against the Ruler/Stop 

  and Cutting Guide.

  Turn the motor ON.

  Verify proper coolant flow on both sides of 

  the blade.

  Perform the cut.

  Turn the motor OFF when work is 

  complete.

Multiple Step Cutting

During this sawing process the saw is positioned 

at the desired height and moved back and forth 

through the material to be cut until after a number 

of steps it is completely cut through.

  Place the material to be cut on the sawing  

  table and position against the fixed stop  

  and eventually the adjustable stop.

  Position the cutting head at the desired 

  height

  Hold the material with one hand while  

  making sure your hand is free from the  

  cutting blade.

  Perform the cut. This process must be 

  repeated until the material has been 

  totally cut through.

  Turn the motor OFF when work is 

  complete.

45˚ Miter Cutting:

The Rodia® 3515RS Stone Saw is designed to 

perform 45˚ Miter Cuts without additional tools. 

  Loosen the 2 handles on either side of the  

  machine.

  Tilt the cutting head into the 45˚ position.

  Fasten both handles.

  Place the tile on the cutting table in the 

  desired position.

  Hold the tile down with one hand. (Keep 

  hand away as far as possible from the 

  cutting blade)

  Turn the motor ON.

  Verify proper coolant flow on both sides of  

  the blade.

  Perform the cut.

  Turn the motor OFF when work is 

  complete.
