General safety instructions – portable electric power tools
NB:
When using this tool all basic safety precautions must be followed to avoid the risk of fire, electrocution and
personal injury. Read these instructions carefully before using the tile saw and keep them for future reference.
•
Keep the working area tidy. Cluttered surfaces and benches invite accidents.
•
Take stock of your working environment. Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in moist or wet
areas. Keep the working area well lit. Never operate the tool near flammable liquid or gas.
•
Reduce the risk of electric shocks. Avoid body contact with earthed objects such as pipes, radiators, ovens
or refrigerators.
•
Keep other people at a safe distance. Do not allow anyone, especially children, not involved in the work
process to touch the tool or its electric cable. Keep all bystanders at a distance.
•
Store the tool in a safe place. When the tile saw is not in use, keep it in a locked, dry area, away from
children.
•
Do not force the tool. The tool will work better and safer at the feed rate for which it was intended.
•
Use the correct tool for the job. Do not try to use small tools to perform jobs requiring more powerful tools.
Do not use a tool for a purpose for which it was not designed, e.g. using a circular saw for lopping branches
off trees.
•
Wear suitable attire. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery; they could be caught in moving parts.
Non-slip shoes are recommended for outdoor work. Wear a hairnet or similar if you have long hair.
•

is turned on and used correctly.
•
Do not abuse the lead. Do not jerk the lead, grip the plug itself when disconnecting the power. Make sure
that the mains lead does not come into contact with heat, oil, or sharp edges.
•
Firmly secure the workpiece. If possible use vices or clamps to hold the workpiece in place. This is much
safer than holding the workpiece in one hand.
•
Do not overreach. Make sure that you stand steady and balanced all times.
•
Look after you tools. Make sure that they are clean and that the edges are sharp for maximum effect and
best results. Follow the manuals recommendations regarding lubrication and replacement of accessories.
Inspect the mains lead regularly. If it is damaged it should be replaced by a qualified service technician.
Inspect all leads and cables regularly to check for any damage. Make sure that the tile saw’s handles and
controls are clean, dry and free from oil and grease.

Turn the power off. Pull out the plug and push in the emergency stop button before servicing or changing
any blades, drill bits, cutters or sanding discs.
•
Remove all spanners and repair tools. Make a habit of checking to make sure that the tile saw is free of all
spanners and tools before turning the power on.
