moved.
• A jamming guard must be repaired immediately.

OPERATION
Fig. 1
• Before starting the job, please ensure there is suf= cient
water in the water tray i.e. the diamond blade runs through
the water. During the job, the water tray must be topped
up.
• Do not start working before the maximum speed has been
reached.
• The diamond blade must NEVER be exposed to sideways
pressure; they can break and the ; ying pieces become
projectiles!
• Do not attempt to cut extremely small pieces from the
tiles. Always make sure that the full surface of the tile is
on the work table. The supplied mitre guide can be used
to push the tiles through the cutter. In the early stages of
cutting in particular, the tile must remain absolutely level
to avoid the tile moving up.
• Do not overload your tool. It is better and safer to work
within the indicated power range. Do not cut materials
other than tiles.
• Maintain your tools carefully. Keep the tools sharp and
clean in order to work properly and safely. Follow the
maintenance instructions and the instructions for replac-
ing the diamond blade.
• Stand safely and maintain your balance. Avoid any un-
natural body angles. Remain alert and pay attention to
your work. Use common sense. Do not use the machine
when you cannot concentrate or when you are tired.
