Warning
• The use of any accessory or attachment other
than one recommended in this instruction
manual may present a risk of personal injury.
• This electric tool complies with all relevant
safety rules.
TRANSPORTATION
• Before transporting the bridge saw, lock the
cutting unit at the middle of rail by engaging the
locking system.
• Two people are required to move the bridge
saw. The leg or the machine frame can be used
to lift the machine off the ground for moving.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the
blade corresponds with the rotational direction
of the motor.
• With the machine disconnected from the power
supply, rotate the blade by hand to ensure it is
free from obstruction.
• Always keep the blade-securing arbor and
collars clean.
• Ensure that the blade-securing bolt is securely
tightened.
• Never try to cut freehand. Always ensure that
the tile to be cut is pressed firmly against the
rip fence.
• Ensure that the work piece that will be cut off
has sufficient room to move sideways. Failure
to do so 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 rip fence without leaving enough
space for the hand to be a safe distance from
the blade.
• Ensure that the table & surrounding area are
clear with the exception of the tile to be cut.
• Before cutting a tile piece, let the diamond
blade run freely for a few seconds. If it makes
an unfamiliar sound or vibrates excessively,
switch it off immediately and disconnect from
the power supply.
• Let the blade reach full speed before beginning
to cut.
• Let the blade come to a complete stop before
removing any jammed or cut off material from
around the blade area.
• Never allow the blade to run dry. Failure to keep
the water tray topped up will result in possible
over-heating of the diamond blade.
• Do not expose to rain or moisture.
• Wear suitable protective equipment.
• Adopt a working position to the left of the
diamond blade.
• Ensure that cut off tile pieces are not caught by
the blade and sent flying.
• Never remove loose splinters, chips or small
pieces while the diamond blade is moving.
• Before repairing faults or removing jammed tile,
always switch the bridge saw off and pull out
the mains plug.
• Before switching on, check that all spanners
and setting tools have been removed.
• When leaving the workplace, switch off the
motor and disconnect from the mains.
• The manufacturer’s safety, working and
maintenance instructions and the dimensions
stated in the Technical Information must be
adhered to.
• The relevant regulations for the prevention
of accidents and other generally recognized
safety regulations must be followed.
Caution!
• Switch off bridge saw immediately and
disconnect from the mains if;
• the power feed lead and switch are damaged
• the motor is overheating
• smoke is emitted or there is a smell of charred
insulating material.
• Use only a diamond blade for which the
maximum possible speed is not less than the
maximum spindle speed of the bridge saw and
the material to be cut.
• Fill the cooling tank 3/4 full of water. It is quite
normal for the equipment to cause splattering
during use.
SPECIAL SAFETY
Check the following points:
1. Does the voltage of the motor correspond to
the mains voltage.
2. A grounded mains connection (wall socket)
needs to be used.
3. Are the mains lead and the mains plug in
a good condition without any loose ends
or damage.
• Avoid using long extension cables.
• Always place the cutting machine on
a flat surface to prevent instability.
While using the machine:
1. Never use-cracked diamond saw blade,
replace them.
