Frame and feet (1)
The frame is made of a jig-welded reinforced steel construction to ensure perfect rigidity. 4
removable legs fit into housings welded on frame sides and locked into place with wing screws. The
front feet are adjustable. It is also equipped with wheels and handles for transportation.
Cutting head (2)
Spring loaded jig-welded steel console. The motor fixing points and the pivot are machined for
perfect fit. A locking system allows straight-through cutting without any other accessory.
Blade guard (3)
Jig-welded steel construction with 400mm-diameter blade capacity, which offers maximum operator
protection and increased visibility of the work piece.
Incorporated in the blade guard is an outer metal cover, which can be easily removed to allow easy
access to shaft for inspection and blade replacement when motor is switched off, while fully
protecting the blade when in operation.
Electrical motor (4)
2.2 kW (1.8 kW for 115V) electrical motor with an overload protection. Low voltage trigger (NVR)
built in the switch prevents the motor to restart for example after a power cut. Thermal overload
tripping can occur for two reasons:
a) Tripping under light load if connection is incorrect
b) Tripping under heavy load if motor has been overloaded.
The ON-OFF switch also serves as emergency stop.
Conveyor cart (5)
Steel welded construction with non-slip top. As an accessory, a conveyor can tilt from 0 to 45º for
angle bevel tile cutting.
The machine guide system permits precise cuts to be made by virtue of four roller sheaves set at an
inclination to compensate for wear. The nylon-plastic sheaves and sealed-bearings permit easy
operation. Precise positioning of the material is possible thanks to the large surface area of the
conveyor cart and the variable angle guide-a-cut. The table has an anti-dumping system and a
locking latch.
Water cooling system (6)
The coolant system comprises:

A powerful, submersible electric water pump.

Plastic suction pipe delivering the water from the water pan to the cutting head.

A large capacity water pan supplied with drain plug.

A water-tap, fitted to the blade guard, permitting controlled water flow.

Two water nozzles located on the blade guard ensure adequate flow of water to both sides of
the cutting blade.

A water curtain, fixed to head axle restricts water spray and minimizes water loss.

The pump switch is located on the right side of the main switch.
Attention: The water pump must never run without water.
