MAINTENANCE
During maintenance and cleaning always remove
the mains plug from the socket. Never use liquids
when cleaning electrical parts of the saw bench.
The Powercraft machines have been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper machine care and regular cleaning.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to
prevent overheating of the engine.
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free
from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened
with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol,
alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please
contact your local Powercraft dealer.
In the back of this manual you find an exploded view
showing the parts that can be ordered.

dealer. Here they will be disposed of in an
environmentally safe way.

yet
•
Slide the complete fence with (loosen) knobs onto
the table; the plates on the inner side of the table
•
Set the required distance
•
Tighten the knobs by rotating them (clockwise)

INSTALLING THE TILE CUTTER
•
The tile cutter may only be used as a fixed tool and
should be screwed down to a level and horizontal
surface. Please use the screw holes in the base of the
machine.
•
The electrical supply must be connected to a 230 V
earthed wall socket. The mains voltage must comply
with the information on the type plate, and must be
protected by a circuit breaker.
•
Do not use the power cable to pull the plug from the
socket. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp
objects.
Only use accessories and auxiliary equipment
mentioned in the instructions for use or
recommended or mentioned by the manufacturer. Using
other accessories or auxiliary equipment may carry a risk of
injury for you and others.
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.
