4. Important information

Please read the operating instructions carefully and observe the information provided. It is important to consult these instructions in order to acquaint yourself with the equipment, its proper use and safety regulations.

Danger!

For safety reasons, the tile cutting machine is not to be used by children, young people under 16 years of age, or any other persons who are not acquainted with these operating instructions.

• Portable tile cutting machine for medium-sized tiles.
  • Cutting with the diamond cutting wheel.
• Making jolly cuts with the tiltable work surface (max. 45 degrees).
  • Wheel cooling with water.
• Stop rail and angle stop.
• Removable trough as cooling water tank. (The machine must be lifted off in order to remove the trough.
• If the cutting wheel becomes jammed, switch off the equipment and disconnect it from the power supply; only then are you to remove the workpiece

5. Intended use

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 damage and/or injuries of any kind that result from such misuse. The machine is to be operated

GB

only with suitable cutting-off wheels. Saw blades should never be used. Compliance with the safety 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 regulations in force in your area, as well as all other general rules of health and safety at work, is imperative. The manufacturer's liability shall be deemed void if the machine is modified in any way and the manufacturer shall therefore accept no liability for any damages arising as a result of modifications. 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 where 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 workpieces due to improper handling.
• Damage to hearing if ear-muffs are not used as necessary.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed 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 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 wearing 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 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 Assembly

Assemble the equipment as shown in Figures 2-12.

6.1.1 Fitting the diamond cutting wheel (Fig. 4, 5)

To fit the wheel, proceed as follows:
- Remove the side cover (17).
- Unscrew the nut (d) from the motor shaft and remove the outer flange (16).
- Fit the cutting wheel (15) to the flange, fit the outer flange (16) again and screw the nut (d) onto the thread by hand.
- Place the ring wrench (21) on the nut (d), use the counterholder (20) to block the motor shaft and tighten using the ring wrench (21).
- Fasten the side cover again. Important! Check that the cutting wheel rotates in the correct direction!

6.1.2 Fitting the splitter (Fig. 6, 7)

• Unscrew the screws (14) on the table top to undo the holder for the splitter (11).
• Insert the splitter (19) through the table top from above.
• Fasten the holder for the splitter (11) to the splitter using the screws (14).
• The splitter must be positioned in the center along an imaginary line extending behind the cutting wheel (15), so that it is not possible for the material to get jammed.

GB

6.1.3 Fitting the saw table (Fig. 8, 9)

• Now mount the wheel guard (3) on the splitter (19).
• Turn the knurled screw (9) into the self-locking nut (18) until the wheel guard can only just move freely.
• Move the wheel guard to approximately 5 mm above the tile you wish to cut and secure it with the knurled screw (9).

6.2 Changing the diamond cutting wheel (Fig. 4, 5)

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 the counterholder (20) to block the motor shaft.
• Use the ring wrench (21) to unscrew the lock nut (d) on the outer flange (16).
- 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 (d).
• Fasten the side cover (17) again.
- Check that the diamond wheel rotates in the correct direction!

7. Operation

7.1 Even cutting (Fig. 13)

• Set the cutting width with the parallel stop (2) and lock in position with the knurled screws (10). The width of the workpiece can be read on the scale.
• Fig. 13 shows the correct position for your hands during even cutting. 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.

Notice! Keep a constant check on the water level

7.2 Making 45° miter cuts (jolly cuts) (Fig. 14)

- Position the table as shown in Fig. 14 and lock in position with the knurled screw (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. 14 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.

7.3 On/Off switch (Fig. 1)

• To switch on, press the „I“ on the On/Off switch (12).
• To switch off, press the „0“ on the On/Off switch (12).

8. Replacing the power cable

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 starting any cleaning work.

9.1 Cleaning

• 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 attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
