5. Safety instructions

Set up the machine on level, non-slip ground. The machine should not wobble. Make sure that the voltage on the rating plate is the same as your supply system. Only then are you to insert the power plug in the mains socket- outlet. Put on safety goggles. Put on ear muffs. Put on safety gloves. Never use cracked diamond cutting wheels but replace immediately. Never use segment-type cutting wheels. Caution: The cutting wheel continues to rotate after switching off! Do not slow down the cutting wheel by applying pressure to its side. Caution: The diamond cutting wheel has to run in the water bath! Pull out the power plug before you change the cutting wheel. Use only suitable diamond cutting wheels: ø 200 mm, bore ø 25.4 mm, width 1,8 mm. Caution: Note the width of the adjusting bracket! Close the guard hood when you are finished with your work. Never leave the machine unattended in rooms with children. Keep the machine out of children’s reach. Pull out the power plug before you check the electric motor compartment system.

The machine has to be set up where it stands firmly, i.e. on a workbench or bolted to a strong base frame. All the covers and safety devices have to be fitted properly before starting. The diamond cutting wheel has to be able to run freely. Before you press the ON/OFF switch, make sure that the diamond cutting wheel is fitted and that all moving parts run smoothly. Before you connect the machine to a socket- outlet, check that the data on the rating plate are the same as those of your power supply. Before you use the machine, check that all its parts are undamaged. Damaged parts have to be replaced. Read the instructions in this manual carefully when replacing parts or accessories. For optimum results and for maximum safety, keep the machine clean at all times. Check the power cable at regular intervals. Keep an eye on wearing parts during use. Check the fasteners of any parts which become loose and check that accessories are fitted correctly. Important! The tile cutting machine FSM 820 NIRO is designed to be used with water. Before every cut and while making every cut, make sure that the level of water covers the diamond part of the cutting wheel. Fill and top up the trough directly with cooling water (Fig. 1). 7.1. Changing the diamond cutting wheel (Fig. 2) To replace a worn wheel, proceed as follows: a.) Pull out the power plug. b.) Take out the water trough. c.) Remove the side cover (17) by undoing the nuts (21). d.) Use the 4 mm Allen key to block the motor shaft. e.) Use a 19 mm open-jaw wrench to unscrew (22) the lock nut from the wheel flange. f.) After you have removed the wheel, clean the wheel flange thoroughly and lubricate the surface with filing oil. g.) Take out the worn diamond cutting wheel and place a new wheel on the flange (14), mount the counterflange (16) and tighten with the nut (22). h.) Refasten the side cover (17) with the nuts (21). Caution! Make sure the diamond cutting wheel rotates in the right direction!

Anleitung PFS 920 NIRO 27.05.2004 9:38 Uhr Seite 78 7.2. Adjusting the upper wheel guard (Fig. 3) Insert the adjusting bracket (23) in the splitter holder (11) from above through the table top an lock with the Allen screw. Position the wheel guard around 5 mm above the tile you want to cut. Lock the wheel guard in place with the screw marked in the drawing. Caution! The machine has a cutting wheel with an all-round cutting edge.

Set the cutting width the parallel stop (2) and lock with the thumb screws. The width of the piece you want to use can be read off the centimetre scales. Figure 4 shows the correct position of your hands when making plain cuts. Be sure to adapt the feed speed to the cutting capacity of the wheel. This will ensure that no material is catapulted off the tile, resulting in accidents or injuries. Important! Always check the level of water.

8.2 45° mitre cuts (jolly) (Fig. 5)

Position the table as shown in the drawing and lock in place with the handles. Position the cutting guide around 2 mm from the diamond cutting wheel and secure with the thumb screws. Place the tile, glazed side down, on the work top and make sure that the diamond wheel does not touch the glaze. If necessary, correct the position of the cutting guide. Figure 5 shows the correct position of your hands when making 45° mitre cuts. Use your right hand to keep the tile in contact with the diamond wheel and your left hand to feed the tile. Be sure to adapt the feed speed to the cutting capacity of the wheel. This will ensure that no material is catapulted off the tile, resulting in accidents or injuries.

Remove dust and dirt regularly from the machine. Cleaning is best done with compressed air or a rag. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
