The tile cutting machine is designed for the standard cutting of small and medium-size tiles (glazed tiles, ceramic tiles or similar) which can be accommodated by the size of the machine. It should never be used for cutting wood or metal. The machine should be used exclusively for its intended purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user/operator and not the manufacturer will be held liable for da- mage and/or injuries of any kind that result from such misuse. The machine is to be operated only with suitable cutting-off wheels. Saw blades should never be used. Compliance with the sa- fety instructions, the assembly instructions, and advice and instructions on operation contained in the operating instructions also falls under the terms of intended use. All persons who use and service the equipment have to be acquainted with this manual and must be informed about the machine’s potential hazards. In addition, strict compliance with the accident prevention regulati- ons in force in your area, as well as all other ge- neral rules of health and safety at work, is impera- Anl_TH_TC_618_SPK1.indb 17Anl_TH_TC_618_SPK1.indb 17 21.02.13 13:4021.02.13 13:40GB

tive. The manufacturer’s liability shall be deemed void if the machine is modifi ed in any way and the manufacturer shall therefore accept no liability for any damages arising as a result of modifi cations. Even when the equipment is used as prescribed it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the machine’s construction and design:

Contact with the diamond cutting wheel whe- re it is not covered.

Contact with the diamond cutting wheel while it is turning.

Defective diamond tips flying off the cutting wheel.

Kick-back of workpieces and parts of workpi- eces due to improper handling.

Damage to hearing if ear-muffs are not used as necessary. Please note that our equipment has not been de- signed 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 pro- perly 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 fit- ted and that the machine’s 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 inst- ructions in this manual.

For optimum performance and maximum sa- fety, keep the machine clean at all times.

Check the machine cable at regular intervals.

While the machine is running, check the wea- ring 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 desig- ned 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 Changing the diamond cutting wheel

(Fig. 2/3) 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!

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. 1.

Important! The machine is fitted with a cutting wheel with a non-segmented edge.

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. 5 shows the correct position for your hands during even cutting. The rate of advan- ce 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. Anl_TH_TC_618_SPK1.indb 18Anl_TH_TC_618_SPK1.indb 18 21.02.13 13:4021.02.13 13:40GB

Important! Keep a constant check on the water level

Position the table as shown in Fig. 6 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. 6 shows the correct position for your hands during miter cutting to 45°. The right hand holds the workpiece in contact with the diamond wheel while the left hand pushes the workpiece forward. 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.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Always pull out the mains power plug before star- ting any cleaning work.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment.

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
