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.

Notice! 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.

Assemble the equipment as shown in Figures 2-13.

6.1.1 Mounting the disk guard (3), Fig. 8/9

Now mount the disk guard (3) on the splitter (19). Turn the knurled screw (9) into the self-locking nut (f) until the disk guard (3) can only just move freely. Then secure the connection with the lock washer (g) on the thread of the knurled screw (9).

6.2 Changing the diamond cutting wheel

(Fig. 6/14) 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.

Check that the diamond wheel rotates in the correct direction!

6.3 Adjusting the top wheel guard (Fig. 7/8/9)

Insert the splitter (19) through the table and into the holder (11) from above and fasten with the screws (14).

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. 15.

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. 16 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. Notice! Keep a constant check on the water level

Position the table as shown in Fig. 17 and lock in position with the handles (7). Position the tile with the glazed side on the work sur- face and make sure that the diamond wheel does not touch the glaze on the tile. Correct the cutting guiding position if necessary.

Fig. 17 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.

Danger! If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

9. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Danger! 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. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

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