of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been
designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.
6. Before starting the equipment
The machine has to be set up where it can stand
firmly, e.g. on a work bench, or it must be bolted
to a strong base.
All covers and safety devices have to be properly
fitted before the machine is switched on.
It must be possible for the diamond wheel to run
freely.
Before you actuate the ON/OFF switch, make
sure that the diamond wheel is correctly fitted
and that the machineʼs moving parts run
smoothly.
Before you connect the machine to the power
supply, make sure the data on the rating plate is
the same as that for your mains.
Before using the machine, check all of the parts
for damage and replace any parts that are
damaged. When replacing any parts or
accessories, always carefully follow the
instructions in this manual.
For optimum performance and maximum safety,
keep the machine clean at all times.
Check the machine cable at regular intervals.
While the machine is running, check the wearing
parts and the fastenings of parts which may have
become loose and check that all accessories are
correctly fitted.
Important! The tile cutting machine is
designed for use with water.
Check that the water level is high enough to
cover the diamond part of the wheel each time
before you start a cutting operation and keep
checking it during cutting as well. Fill/refill the
cooling water directly into the trough.
6.1 RCD plug (Fig. 7)
Connect the RCD plug (21) to the power supply.
Press the reset button (22) and the control lamp (23)
will begin to shine. Press the test button (24) to
check the function of the RCD plug. If everything is
working properly the control lamp (23) will go out and
the contact to the power supply will be interrupted.
The RCD plug triggers at a fault current of 10 mA.
Defective RCD plugs must be replaced by a qualified
electrician. Press the reset key (22) again in order to
be able to start up the machine.
6.2 Changing the diamond cutting wheel (Fig. 2)
To replace the wheel when worn, proceed as follows:
Pull out the power plug first.
Take out the water trough (5).
Remove the side cover (17).
Apply an 8 mm counterholder to block the motor
shaft.
Unscrew the lock nut (18) on the wheel flange
(16) with a 19 mm wrench.
Clean the wheel flange thoroughly once the
wheel has been removed.
Take out the worn diamond cutting wheel (15)
and fit the new one to the flange, then fit the
outer flange (16) and tighten with the nut (18).
Fasten the side cover (17) again.
Important! Check that the diamond wheel (4)
rotates in the correct direction!
6.3 Adjusting the top wheel guard Fig. 3/6)
Insert the splitter (19) through the table and into
the holder (11) from above and fasten with the
screws (20).
Move the wheel guard to approximately 5 mm
above the tile you wish to cut. Lock the wheel
guard (3) in position with the knurled screw (9)
as shown in Fig. 01.
Important!
The machine is fitted with a cutting
wheel with a non-segmented edge.
7. Operation
7.1 Even cutting (Fig. 1/4)
Set the cutting width with the parallel stop (2)
and lock in position with the thumb screws (10).
The width of the workpiece can be read on the
scale.
Fig. 4 shows the correct position for your hands
during even cutting. The rate of advance must
not exceed the cutting capacity of the wheel.
This is to make sure that no material comes off,
as this may cause accidents or injuries.
Important! Keep a constant check on the water
level
7.2 Making 45° miter cuts (jolly cuts) (Fig. 5)
Position the table as shown in Fig. 5 and lock in
position with the handles (7). Position the tile
with the glazed side on the work surface and
make sure that the diamond wheel does not
touch the glaze on the tile. Correct the cutting
guiding position if necessary.
Fig. 5 shows the correct position for your hands
during miter cutting to 45°. The right hand holds
