also imperative to pay exact attention to the accident
prevention regulations in force in your country and to
observe the general rules of occupational medicine
and safety. The manufacturer can accept no liability
whatsoever for damages resulting from any
modifications to the machine. Even when the
machine is used as intended, certain residual risk
factors cannot be ruled out completely. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the machine’s
design and construction:
Touching of the diamond cutting wheel in the
uncovered zone.
Reaching into the area of the diamond cutting
wheel when it is running.
Catapulting of a faulty diamond tip off the cutting
wheel.
Kicking of workpieces and workpiece parts
during incorrect operation.
Damage to hearing if ear muffs are not worn.
5. Safety instructions
Set up the machine on level, non-slip ground.
The machine should not wobble.
Make sure that the voltage on the rating plate is
the same as your supply system. Only then are
you to insert the power plug in the mains socket-
outlet.
Put on safety goggles.
Put on ear muffs.
Put on safety gloves.
Never use cracked diamond cutting wheels but
replace immediately.
Never use segment-type cutting wheels.
Caution:
The cutting wheel continues to rotate
after switching off!
Do not slow down the cutting wheel by applying
pressure to its side.
Caution:
The diamond cutting wheel has to run
in the water bath!
Pull out the power plug before you change the
cutting wheel.
Use only suitable diamond cutting wheels:
ø 180 mm, bore ø 25.4 mm
Caution:
Note the width of the adjusting bracket!
Close the guard hood when you are finished with
your work.
Never leave the machine unattended in rooms
with children.
Keep the machine out of children’s reach.

6. Before starting
The machine has to be set up where it stands
firmly, i.e. on a workbench or bolted to a strong
base frame.
All the covers and safety devices have to be
fitted properly before starting.
The diamond cutting wheel has to be able to run
freely.
Before you press the ON/OFF switch, make sure
that the diamond cutting wheel is fitted and that
all moving parts run smoothly.
Before you connect the machine to a socket-
outlet, check that the data on the rating plate are
the same as those of your power supply.
Before you use the machine, check that all its
parts are undamaged. Damaged parts have to
be replaced. Read the instructions in this manual
carefully when replacing parts or accessories.
For optimum results and for maximum safety,
keep the machine clean at all times.
Check the power cable at regular intervals.
Keep an eye on wearing parts during use. Check
the fasteners of any parts which become loose
and check that accessories are fitted correctly.
Important!
The tile cutting machine is designed to be
used with water.
Before every cut and while making every cut,
make sure that the level of water covers the
diamond part of the cutting wheel. Fill and top up
the trough directly with cooling water (Fig. 1).
7.1. Changing the diamond cutting
wheel
(Fig. 2)
To replace a worn wheel, proceed as follows:
a.) Pull out the power plug.
b.) Take out the water trough.
c.) Remove the side cover (17).
d.) Use the 8 mm brace to block the motor
shaft.
e.) Use a 19 mm open-jaw wrench to unscrew
(18) the lock nut from the wheel flange.
f.)
After you have removed the wheel, clean the
wheel flange thoroughly and lubricate the
surface with filing oil.
g.) Take out the worn diamond cutting wheel
and place a new wheel on the flange,
mount the counterflange (16) and tighten
