OVERVIEW
WHAT YOU ARE RENTING.
A quick look at the iQ252 before you pick it up, plus the specifications to plan your cuts around.
The iQ252 makes long, straight cuts without water. A 10-inch Q-Drive blade combines with a 52-inch rip capacity and 36-inch diagonal capacity for large-format tile and porcelain, while integrated dust collection with an 11 lb chamber and iQ Dura Bond filtration manages the dust.
Assembly centers on the rail system and the clips that hold material in place. Review the assembly module before your first cut, and confirm the rental unit includes the rail and clamps you need.
