FITTING THE RIVING KNIFE/BLADE GUARD
Insert the riving knife into the table so that the threaded section
of the knife is under the surface of the table. Insert the two
securing screws (Pic 2) and align the knife with the blade
ensuring that there is a gap of no more than 5mm between the
blade and the riving knife. Do not use the machine without the
blade guard fitted.
STARTING AND STOPPING
Connect the unit to a power supply of the correct voltage and
frequency (230V - 50Hz).
To start the machine press the green button marked “I” (Pic 3).
To stop the machine press the red button marked “O” (Pic 3).
N.B This machine is fitted with a “no volt” releaseswitch. In the
event of a mains power failure the switch will release and will
need to be reset when power is restored. This eliminates the
possibility of the machine starting up unexpectedly.
FILLING THE WATER TRAY
To remove the tray, slide it outwards until it comes into contact
with the blade housing (Pic 4).
Lift the tray side of the machine until the tray can be removed
completely. Fill the tray to 3/4 full with water. Do not add
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that power tools are disconnected from the mains
supply when not in use, before servicing, lubricating or making
adjustments and when changing accessories such as blades,
bits and cutters.
Do Not stop the blade by forcing the machine or by using
sideways pressure.
Do Not fit grinding or cutting discs to this machine.
Always use the correct type of blade for the operation to be
carried out.
Do Not use blades that are bent or damaged in any way. This is
highly dangerous and could result in a serious accident causing
injury to the operator, bystanders and damage to the machine.
Only use blades that are recommended by the supplier and that
are in good condition.
Do Not use blades that are larger than specified. Only use
blades that are rated for the machine.
The rotational speed shown on the blade should always be
HIGHER than the rotational speed of the tile cutter.
Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the blade
corresponds with the rotational direction of the motor.
With the machine isolated from the mains supply, rotate the
blade by hand to ensure that it is free from obstruction.
Ensure that movable guards operate freely without jamming.
Keep Guards in place and in good working order. With the
machine disconnected from the mains supply check the
operation of the guard to ensure that it operates correctly.
Always keep the blade securing arbour and collars clean.
Whenever replacing blades ensure that the recessed surface
of the blade collar fits snugly against the surface of the blade.
Ensure that the blade securing bolt is securely tightened.
Do not over tighten. Use only blades that are recommended by
the manufacturer.
Do Not start the machine with the blade in contact with the work
piece.
Never try to cut free hand, always ensure that the tile to be cut
is pressed firmly against the guide fence.
Ensure that the smaller piece of tile being cut off has sufficient
room to move sideways. Failure do this may result in the off cut
binding against the blade.
Never cut more than one tile at a time.
Never cut pieces too small to be held securely against the guide
fence without leaving enough space for your hands to be a safe
distance from the blade.
Ensure that the machine table is clear except for the tile being
cut.
If any pieces become jammed isolate the machine from the
mains supply before clearing the jammed piece. Never try to
remove jammed pieces with the machine still running.
Never allow the blade to run dry. Failure to keep the water
tray topped up will result in the blade overheating resulting in
damage to the blade and a poor cut in the tile.
Do Not attempt to modify the machine or its accessories in any
way.
Do Not force the machine let the machine do the work this will
reduce the wear on the machine and blade and increase its
efficiency and operating life.
Use approved ear defenders and eye protection when using this
machine.
Wear waterproof protective clothing when using the tile cutter.
Never use the tile cutter on a decorative surface unless it is
covered with a thick dust sheet and a plastic waterproof sheet.
