ENGLISH
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of asecond.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned.
b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must berepaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power toolaccidentally.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrainedusers.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained powertools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardoussituation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpectedsituations.
5) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.

Additional Safety Rules for Tile Saws

WARNING: Do not connect to the mains power supply into the unit until complete
instructions are read andunderstood.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND
INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. A machine incorrectly assembled can
cause seriousinjury.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE IF THE CUTTING DISK GUARD IS NOT MOUNTED
CORRECTLY OR ISDEFECTIVE.
• TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES, KNOBS AND LEVERS PRIOR TO OPERATION. Loose
clamps can cause parts or the workpiece to be thrown at highspeeds.
• OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR, INSTRUCTOR, OR ANOTHER QUALIFIED
PERSON IF YOU ARE NOT THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF THIS
MACHINE. Knowledge issafety.
• MAKE CERTAIN THE BLADE ROTATES IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION. See marking at the
guard
• BE SURE ALL BLADE AND BLADE CLAMPS ARE CLEAN, RECESSED SIDES OF BLADE
CLAMPS ARE AGAINST BLADE AND ARBOUR SCREW IS TIGHTENED SECURELY. Loose
or improper blade clamping may result in damage to the saw and possible personalinjury.
• DO NOT OPERATE ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED VOLTAGE FOR
THE SAW. Overheating, damage to the tool and personal injury mayoccur.
• DO NOT WEDGE ANYTHING AGAINST THE FAN TO HOLD THE MOTOR SHAFT.
Damage to tool and possible personal injury mayoccur.
• NEVER CUT METALS. This can cause the carbide tips to fly off the blade at high speeds
causing seriousinjury.
• NEVER HAVE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY IN LINE WITH THE PATH OF THE SAW
BLADE. Personal injury willoccur.
• DO NOT PLACE EITHER HAND IN THE BLADE AREA WHEN THE SAW IS CONNECTED
TO THE POWER SOURCE. Inadvertent blade activation may result in seriousinjury.
• NEVER REACH AROUND OR BEHIND THE SAW BLADE. A blade can cause seriousinjury.
• SECURE THE MACHINE TO A STABLE SUPPORTING SURFACE. Vibration can possibly
cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over, causing seriousinjury.
• USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND TYPE SPECIFIED FOR THIS TOOL TO
PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE AND/OR SERIOUSINJURY.
• THE MAXIMUM SPEED OF THE SAW BLADE SHALL ALWAYS BE GREATER THAN OR
AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE SPEED MARKED ON THE RATING PLATE OF THETOOL.
• THE SAW BLADE DIAMETER MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MARKINGS ON
RATING PLATE OF THETOOL.
• INSPECT BLADE FOR CRACKS OR OTHER DAMAGE PRIOR TO OPERATION. A cracked
or damaged blade can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing serious
injury. Replace cracked or damaged blades immediately. Observe the maximum speed marked
on the sawblade.
• DO NOT USE WARPED BLADES. Check to see if the blade runs true and is free from
vibration. A vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or seriousinjury.
• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER. Do not operate this machine without
guards in place
• USE ONLY BLADE CLAMPS SPECIFIED FOR THIS TOOL TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
MACHINE AND/OR SERIOUSINJURY.
• MAKE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT SAW BLADE FOR THE MATERIAL TO BECUT.
• CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS OF CHIPS AND SAWDUST. Clogged motor air slots can
cause the machine to overheat, damaging the machine and possibly causing a short which
could cause seriousinjury.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionallycontacted.
• NEVER CUT WORKPIECES THAT REQUIRE MANUAL ACTION CLOSER THAN 15 CM
FROM THE ROTATING CUTTINGDISC.
• DO NOT PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND. Hold the workpiece firmly against the
fence and theguide.
• SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE AND WAIT FOR THE CUTTING DISC TO STOP BEFORE
MOVING THE WORKPIECE OR CHANGING THE SETTINGS. Reaching with your hand
near the coasting blade is dangerous
• NEVER PERFORM ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE WORK when the machine is still
running and the head is not in the rest position. Reaching with your hand near the turning
blade is dangerous
• DO NOT CUT WORKPIECES REQUIRING A MAXIMUM DEPTH OF CUT EXCEEDING
THAT OF THE CUTTINGDISC.
• DO NOT PERFORM DRY CUTS. Dry cutting not only results in damage to the machine, it
will also increase exposure to harmful airbornedust.
• DO NOT USE CUTTING DISCS FOR SIDE GRINDING. This can cause the carbide tips to fly
off the blade at high speeds causing seriousinjury.
• ALWAYS STORE TILE SAW WELLPROTECTED AND IN A DRY PLACE, OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN. To prevent damage to the machine and unintendeduse.
• DO NOT MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR PARTS SUBSTITUTIONS TO ALTER THE FACTORY
SETTINGS. Technical alterations should only be carried out by the manufacturer, in
compliance with theapplicable.
• WEAR GLOVES DURING THE USE OF THE TILE SAW. Sawed workpieces could have
sharpedges.

WARNING! Take care that the connections are dry before activating the circuit and
plugging in themachine.
• Keep water clear off the electrical parts of the tool and away from persons in the
workingarea.
• Replacement of supply cord shall always be carried out by the manufacturer or his
serviceagent.

WARNING! After voltage recovery, set ON/OFF switch to off before actuating RESET
button of Portable Residual Current Device (PRCD).
• Ensure your installation is provided with suitable cut out of “B” characteristic
according toHD384.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
The following risks are inherent to the use of these machines:

• injuries caused by disruption of the cutting disc
These risks are most evident:
• within the range of operation
• within the range of the rotating machine parts
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating cuttingdisc.
• Risk of injury when changing thecuttingdisc.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening theguards.
Electrical Safety
