OPERATION
MAKING A STRAIGHT CUT (Fig. V)
Pull open the two fence lock knobs on the sides of the
parallel fence. Adjust the parallel fence to the desired
distance from the cutting disc. Close the fence lock
knobs to tighten the parallel guide against the table.
Position the tile firmly against the parallel guide and
push the tile through the blade in a smooth action. Hold
the edges of the tile and press down firmly to prevent
the tile from lifting during the cut.

ASSEMBLY
FILLING THE WATER TANK (Fig. 17)
Before cutting, the tank must be filled with water:
• Unplug the tile saw from the mains supply.
• Remove the cover from the working table.
• Fill the tank with water to above the fill line (fig. 17a).
• When you have finished cutting, remove the plug inside
the tank to drain the water (fig. 17b).
Warning:
Do not add chemicals or detergents to the water.
CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of the mains
supply is the same as indicated on the rating plate. This
product is designed to operate on 120V~60Hz.
Connecting it to any other power source may cause damage.
This appliance must be properly grounded. If in doubt,
please consult a qualified electrician. The mains supply shall
be fed via a 10 amp min. fuse. Put the tile saw on a clean,
stable and flat surface.
WARNING !
Before switching the tile saw on, make sure
that you have read and understood all of the safety
instructions. Make sure that the tile saw is unplugged when the tile saw is not
being used or adjustments are being made.
• Plug the mains cable into the mains supply.
• Fill the water tank. Press the switch marked I.
• The machine will now start. Always allow the disc to reach full speed before
performing any cutting operations.
• To switch off the machine, push the swith marked 0. The tile saw will now stop.
WARNING !
The disc will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the machine
has been switched off. Wait for the disc to stop before removing the workpiece or
making any adjustments.
Stop the machine immediately if there is undue vibration or some other fault. If this
situation continues, check the machine to find the origin of the fault.

MAINTENANCE
Danger of death!
Improper repairs can result in the product functioning unsafely.
This endangers yourself and your environment.
Make sure that the saw is turned off and unplugged from power source before
installation, before cleaning and maintenace operations.
Apart from diamond discs, there are no other user serviceable parts inside this tile
saw. Refer to qualified service personnel if internal maintenance is required. Any
worn, or damaged parts should be replaced immediately by qualified personnel.
Keep discs in good condition. Poor condition or worn discs can increase the noise
level emitted.
Do not allow dust to accumulate inside, or on the product. After use, clean all
excess dust from the table and the area around the table. Frequently clean the
machine using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Malfunctions are often caused by minor faults. You can easily remedy most of these
yourself. Please consult the following table. You will save yourself a lot of trouble
and possibly money too.
MAKING A MITRE OR DIAGONAL CUT (Fig. 19)
Follow the same procedure for a straight cut but use the
mitre cutting guide in conjunction with the parallel guide.
The mitre cutting guide simply clips onto the parallel guide.
Make sure that the tile is held firmly in the
guide before maing the cut.
CUTTING AN ANGLE OR BEVEL (Fig. 20)
Use the 45º vertical fence if you wish to cut an angle or
bevel on the tile edge. Lift the 45º vertical fence inserting
the plastic tabs into the corresponding holes on the table.
Then make the cut as before.
Internal or external bevel cuts can be made by turning the
tile face up or down (internal - eg.wall corner; external - eg.
window reveal).

Attach the miter gauge on top of the parallel fence. The
miter angle can be adjusted from 0° to 45°. Loosen the
miter gauge knob to adjust the gauge to the desired an-
gle and tighten the knob.
Make sure that the corner of the tile is held firmly in the
guide and push the tile through the blade in a smooth
action. Hold the edges of the tile and press down firmly
to prevent the tile from lifting during the cut.

Use the 45° bevel table to make a bevel cut on the
tile‘s edge. Lift the 45° bevel table, bring up the table
support and locate the tabs into the corresponding
holes in the bottom of the bevel table. Ensure that the
table is fully secured onto the support.
Lay the workpiece firmly on the bevel table and make
the bevel cut using the same procedure as creating
