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 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 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 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 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 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).

- 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!

6.2 Adjusting the top wheel guard Fig. 1/7)

• Insert the splitter (19) through the table and into the holder (11) from above and fasten with the screws (20).
