Safety Warnings for Tile Cutters
Use the tile cutter only for cutting the materials listed
under Intended Use.
Marble or granite as well as tiles with
a rough surface structure and natural stone tiles cannot be
cut.
Keep your fingers clear of the movable parts of the tile
cutter.
Danger of fingers being crushed or contused and
considerably injured.
Wear protective gloves when cutting tiles.
Sharp edges
develop on broken tiles and can cause injuries to the oper-
ator.
When transporting the tile cutter, use only the handles,
tighten all loose components (fences, rulers), press
down the locking lever to lock the guide rail, and fix the
transport safety-lock (see figures 15 and 16).
