Note:

 When not in use, please always make sure 

the cutting unit is locked at the middle of the 

slide rail to prevent it from rolling back and forth 

along the bridge. Move the cutting unit until the 

arrow is aimed at the marked lock position and 

put the knob into the locked position. Continue 

moving the cutting unit along the slide rail until 

fully locked. 

OPERATING

Filling The Water Tray And Draining

1. Fill the tray with water through the cutting slot. 

Don’t add chemicals or detergents to the water.
2. Be sure that the water level is always 

between the MAX and MIN level, so that the 

saw blade turns through appropriate water. 

This is necessary to cool the saw blade in a 

correct way. 
3. If the machine is not used, water should be 

drained. Remove the plug from the bottom of tray 

the water will flow out or you can take out the 

tray and pour the water out. 

Starting And Stopping

1. Insert the plug into a socket with a safety 

contact. This must be protected with a fuse 

e.g. in the terminal box. If an extension cable is 

required, please note that with a cable length of 

up to 20m cable with a cross-section of 1.5mm² 

must be used. 
2. To start the saw, press the green button 

marked “I”. 
3. To stop the saw, press the red button “O” (see 

FIGURE 7).

FIGURE 7

Overload Protection: the motor is equipped with 

a Circuit Breaker at the side face of the switch 

box. If the motor is over loaded, gets too hot or 

the current gets very big, the circuit breaker will 

act automatically and power down the machine. 

If this occurs, please wait a few minutes until the 

motor has cooled down and then press the reset 

button (beside the On-/Off-Switch) and the bridge 

saw can be restarted.

Making A Straight Cut

1. Loosen the knob of the angle cutting guide 

and position the tile on the cutting table against 

the fence with the zero aligned with the notch, 

so that it is in a straight line. This indicates “no 

angle”, or a straight cut. The angle cutting guide 

will be at a 90º angle to the fence. Tighten knob to 

keep guide in position (see FIGURE 8). 

FIGURE 8

2. Slide the angle guide against the tile and lock 

the gauge by turning the knob. 
3. Keep the tile firmly against the fence and 

the angle cutting guide, slowly and smoothly 

pull blade assembly handle towards you to 

begin cutting. DO NOT force the motor to cut 

too quickly.

NOTE:

 Pay attention to the width of the work 

piece. If the width on “a” is more than 250mm 

(see FIGURE 9) and the width on “b” is more than 

550mm (see FIGURE 10), please assemble the 

extension table to support the work piece.
