.
With the machine disconnected from the mains supply, measure the tile or
piece of material to be cut and proceed to adjust:
A.
The angle of the table - which can be adjusted 0° to 45° for mitre edge
cuts if required.
NOTE:
If bevel cuts are made with the larger portion of the tile on the right side of the cutting disk,
i.e. on the ‘downward’ slope side of the disk, there may be too little room for the parallel
fence. This operation must therefore be carried out freehand. DO NOT exert side pressure
on the cutting disk.
B.
The position of the fence on the table top. To ensure accurate cuts, check
the alignment of the fence by refering to the built in calibrations which
are set into each end of the table top.
Retighten all locking knobs securely to ensure secure positions for both the
table and the fence.
2.
Fill the water trough located underneath the table with just sufficient water so
that the edge of the cutting disk can be kept constantly wet. Do not overfill
as this can cause an unnecessary mess. Check the water level
constantly
during use
and top up as necessary.
3.
Start the machine by pressing the green button on the switch panel, marked ‘I’.
4.
Holding the material firmly at all times against the parallel fence, or held in
the mitre gauge as required, move it steadily over the table, into the cutting
edge of the disk...WITH THE GLAZED SIDE OF THE TILE FACING UP.
DO NOT force the tile through the disk. Keep the speed of the disk as near to
its maximum speed as possible.
Always cut in a straight line and
DO NOT
attempt to cut a curved line.
Keep hands well clear of the disk whilst it is in motion. Remove all pieces using
a piece of wood, or similar, before making the next cut.
5.
To stop the machine at any time, press the red button on the switch panel
marked ‘O’.
Always do this as soon as cutting has been completed
, so as not to exceed
the Duty Cycle (see Specifications) and before making any adjustments to
the machine.
NOTE:
In order to get the feel of the machine and reduce the possibility of wastage, we recommend
that trial cuts are made first with surplus or scrap material of a similar type to that to be cut.
OPERATION
INSTALLATION
Provision is made so that the Tile Cutter may be semi-permanently fixed to a workbench
or table, using suitable bolts in the two holes in the base of the machine.
If a permanent location is not feasible or desirable, always ensure its temporary
location is flat and even and at a convenient height with adequate light.
