Stay alert
Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do
not operate the tool when you are tired. Under no
circumstances should you allow your hands to enter the
blade cutting zone. Secure the machine to a solid
worktop so that it cannot move while in operation.
Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, it should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check the alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Do
not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Warning!
The use of any accessory or attachment
other than one recommended in this instruction
manual may present a risk of personal injury.
Have your tool repaired by a qualified person
This electric tool complies with the relevant safety rules.
Repairs should be carried out by a qualified person using
original pats, otherwise this may result in considerable
danger to the user.
SAFETY PROVISIONS
•
Before starting work, check your machine for
damage, with particular reference here to the
diamond blade. All parts must be fitted in the correct
manner and must comply with all preconditions to
guarantee optimum operation of the machine. For
continued use of the machine, the safety facilities or
slightly damaged parts should be tested for their
correct operation. This must be carried out in
accordance with the aforementioned preconditions.
Moving parts, with particular reference to the
protective cover for the diamond blade, should be
securely fastened and may not stick or jam. Do not
use machines which do not have a switch for starting
up and shutting down.
•
The protective cover for the diamond blade may not
be clamped in place or removed. A protective cover
that sticks or jams should be repaired immediately.
The riving knife may not be removed.
SETTING UP THE TILE CUTTING
MACHINE
•
Electrical connection should take place by means of a
230 V earthed wall socket (the mains voltage should
correspond with that stated on the type plate) which
is protected by a residual circuit breaker switch.
•
The cable may not be used to pull the plug out of the
wall socket. Protect the cable from heat sources, oil
and sharp objects.
For your own safety, only use accessories and
auxiliary equipment which are mentioned in the
instruction manual or have been recommended or mentioned
by the manufacturer of the machine. Using other accessories
or auxiliary equipment can carry the risk of causing injury to
you or others.
OPERATION
Fig.1
•
Ensure that there is sufficient water in the water
reservoir (1) before starting work, i.e. enough to
allow the diamond blade to pass through the water.
During work activities, the water must be topped up.
•
Do not start work until the correct rotational speed
has been reached.
•
Diamond blades may NEVER be exposed to sidelong
pressure! This can cause them to break. Flying pieces
act as missiles and are highly dangerous!
•
Do not attempt to cut very small pieces of tile.
During work, always make sure that the entire
surface of the tile is resting on the work table. The
mitre guide (supplied) can be used to slide paving tiles
through the machine. Ensure that the paving tile
remains level, especially in the initial cutting phase.
Doing this prevents the blade from jolting upwards
during cutting.
•
Do not overload your tools. Your work is carried
out better and safer within the given maximum
cutting capacity of 19 mm. Do not cut other
materials other than tiles.
•
Meticulously maintain your tools. Keep your tools
sharp and clean in order to be able to work safely and
correctly. Follow the maintenance instructions and
the directions concerning replacement of the
diamond blade.
•
Ensure that you stand in a safe position and always
keep your balance. Avoid unnatural bodily positions.
Be constantly on your guard. Use caution in
everything that you carry out. Be sensible at work.
Do not use the machine if you are not able to
concentrate or if you are tired.
CUTTING GUIDE
Fig.1
It is possible to cut parallel to another guiding edge using
the parallel guide (3).
Adjustment: undo the knobs (2) and adjust to the
desired distance. Retighten the knobs.
MITRE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Fig.1
The mitre angle can be variably adjusted from 0° to 45°.
Loosen the star-shaped knobs (4) and adjust the mitre
angle by tilting the table (5) upwards until the desired
gradient is reached. Finally, retighten the knobs (4).

CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND
REPAIRS
•
Remove the plug from the wall socket after use and
before cleaning the machine, replacing the diamond
blade or interchanging the water reservoir.
•
The machine is cleaned immediately after use as
follows:
a. Remove the plug from the wall socket.
b. Remove the water reservoir (1, fig. 1) from the
machine and allow the dirty water to drain away.
c. Unscrew the waterproof cover (6, fig. 1) and clean
this.
d. Loosen the star-shaped knobs (4, fig. 1), fold the table
upwards and clean the entire machine.
•
The machine complies with the current safety
preconditions. All repair work may only be
performed by a recognised company as
unauthorised repair attempts can carry the risk of
injury to the user or to bystanders. Regularly check
the plug and cable and allow these to be replaced by a
recognised company in the event of damage to
either. Likewise, check the extension cables.
Damaged safety facilities and switches should, in the
correct manner, be replaced in order to continue
using the machine.
CHECKING AND REPLACING THE
DIAMOND BLADE
•
Diamond blades that are cracked or distorted should
be replaced.
•
Type of blade: Ø150 x 25.4 mm, diamond blade.
•
Diamond blades which do not comply with the
specifications laid down in this instruction manual
may not be used.
•
The plug should be removed from the wall socket
before changing the blade and adjustment or cleaning
activities.
•
Care should be taken to ensure that the diamond
blade is fitted securely and rotates in the correct
direction.
•
To replace a worn blade you should proceed as
follows:
a. Remove the plug from the wall socket.
b. Remove the water reservoir (31, fig. 2) from the
machine.
c. Undo and remove the attachment bolts (18, fig. 2) for
the waterproof cover. (15, fig. 2)
d. Undo the nut which holds the blade in place.
(10, fig. 2).
e. Remove the blade (8, fig. 2) and slide the new blade
onto the flange. Take care to observe the direction of
rotation which is indicated by an arrow on the blade.
Next, refit the counterflange (9, fig. 2).
f. Retighten the nut which holds the blade in place
(10, fig. 2) and refit the waterproof
cover. (15, fig. 2)
g. Be sure that you do not leave any tools behind the
waterproof cover.
