Preparation Safety work with the device is possible only after you have carefully read the Manual and Safety regulations and if you strictly observe the instructions therein. Before putting into operation check if the voltage on the type label correponds with the mains voltage and if the device is furnished with a correct plug. The devices marked with 230 V can be also connected to 220 V. The connection to the mains can be made only with sockets with protection contact, with protection conductor installed according to the regulations. The works connected with the reconstruction of the device and the maintenance works can be performed on the device only if the device is disconnected from the mains. Diamomd Dividing Wheel The clean cutting is only possible when only diamond dividing wheels that are sharp and suitable for material to be treated are used. The diamond dividing wheel supplied together with the device is designated for cutting the tiles. Only diamond dividing wheels with 180 mm dia may be used with this cutting device. Please make sure that maximum revolution number of the diamond dividing wheel is higher than maximum number of revolutions of the device. Diamond dividing wheels whose basic body is thicker or whose cutting width is smaller than the thickness of the spliting wedge shall not be used. Do not use diamond dividing wheels that are distorted or damaged with crack fissures or damaged in another way! Note that after approx. 2-3 cutting processes the diamond dividing wheel is losing its possible out-of- balance !! Replacement of the Diamond Dividing Wheel (Fig. E) Make sure the plug is pulled out and the cutting device is off.

1. Remove the vessel for water that can be hanged out

3. Use the key* for releasing the nut (g).

4. Remove outer flange (f) and take off the diamond

dividing wheel (e). Put the new wheel on the internal flange (f), use correct direction of rotation, assemble the new flange (f), and tighten throughly the nut (g). Make sure the diamond dividing wheel (e) is correctly centred.

5. Fasten the bottom protection (h) with screws that are

6. Hang the vessel for water (i).

*(not involved in the delivery scope) Trial Operation Secure the cutting device with the assembled diamond dividing wheel and let it run for approx. 30 seconds. After the switching off the wheel will run down for approx. 10 seconds. Setting of the Splitting Wedge (Fig. C) The splitting wedge (a) shall always be used. It prevents jamming of the diamond dividing wheel (e) during longitudinal cuts. Only original splitting wedges approvedby the Manufacturer may be used. If necessary set the splitting weedge according to the figure.

1. Loosen the fixing screws (b).

2. Set the splitting wedge (a) according to the figure, the

splitting wedge shall be set centrally to the diamond dividing wheel.

3. Fasten again the fixing screws (b).

Setting the Cutting Angle (Fig. D) Loosen the tommy screw (c) on both sides, set the cutting angle according to the scale and fasten duly the tommy screw (c) again. 0° : Rectangular cut 45°: cut with 45° angle Filling and Check of the Vessel for Water Pour a lot of water into the vessel prepared for this purpose, till the diamond dividing wheel is immersed in the water up to approx. 1 cm. The vessel can be removed from the device when filling the water. The water level shall be checked regularly in order to prevent excessive dust generation. Caution: Sufficient quantity of water should always be used for getting optimum cutting reults and for maintaining the wear due to cutting as low as possible. Operation Instructions Make sure the workpiece to be treated is duly secured and cannot be thrown away from this position. Use shifting bar or shifting pin. Use suitable diamond dividing wheeel for every material. Shift the workpiece to the running diamond dividing wheel. Make sure the shifting is even. Protective cover shall always be used and shall never be jammed. The protective cover will open automatically by the workpiece. The top and the bottom of the cutting track shall be free of any obstacles. Diamond dividing wheels shall not be braked by side pressure on the body. Should the diamond dividing wheel be blocked, switch the device immediately off. Pull out the plug out of the socket before putting the device out of operation, during the breaks and when the device is not used. Use of the Rabbet (Fig. F) Parallel rabbet (r) and rabbet for cutting on mitre (o) make it possible to perform parallel and tapered cuttings. Loosen the tommy screw (p), put the rabbet into the guideway and set the required size. Tighten the tommy screws (p) again. The scale (k) serves for setting the parallelity. (The Figure is just symbolic, it may differ from the real execution of the device.) Special Measures Always wear protective glasses when working with the device for cutting the tiles. Use respirator and protective glasses for protection of your health against the danger that may occur at cutting operation. Never expose the electric devices to rain. The asbestos containing material shall not be treated. Before every use test the device, the cable and diamond wheel if they are not damaged. The damage shall be immediately removed only by an authorized service workshop. The plug may be put into the socket only if the device is off. Putting into Operation Before every putting into operation the cutting device shall be fixed to the working table with three screws and three prepared holes in the working table. Switching-on – Switching.off Switching-on: Put the switch (6) into „I“ position, the device will be switched-on. The device will remain in operation until switched- off.
