4. Operation
Operation
Fig.1
• Before starting the job, please ensure there is
sufficient water in the water tray (4) 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
flying 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 replacing the diamond blade.
• Stand safely and maintain your balance. Avoid
any unnatural 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.
Full-length adjustable fence
Fig.1
The fence (3) enables you to cut parallel to the
cutting blade. Set up: Loosen the knobs (7) and
set the required distance. Tighten the knobs on
both sides of the work table. The markers
determine the measurements (8).
Mitre guide
Fig.1
The mitre guide has a variable setting between 0°
and 45°. Loosen the knobs (5), set the mitre by
tilting the table (1) up until you have reached the
required tilt. Tighten the knobs (5) again on both
sides of the work table.
