INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms of table height
and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and
enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece
without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment temperature is not too cold,
machine and accessory is well maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for thismachine.

WARNING:
• Always observe the safety instructions and applicableregulations.
• Check that the machine has been set upsecurely.
• Check that the workpiece is properlysupported.
• Make sure the cutting disc is not contacting the workpiece before the machine is
switchedon.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed beforecutting.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the machine. Do not force the cuttingaction.
• Keep your hands out of the path of the cutting disc. Do not place your hands within
the marked area as shown in FigureN.
Prior to Operation
• Place the tile saw on a horizontal, stable, non-slipsurface.
• Install the appropriate cuttingdisc.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles aretight.
• Fill the water basin with the sufficient amount of water for the water pump to be
fullysubmerged.
• Use only clean water. No other liquid should beused.
Switching On and Off (Fig. O)
• To switch the machine on, set the on/off switch
1
to positionI.
• To switch the machine off, set the on/off switch
1
to position0.
Wired into the mains cable is the portable residual current device (PRCD) containing the
no-volt release switch and the motor overload protector with manual reset. In case of a power
shut-off, proceed as follows:
• Make sure the on/off switch
1
is in the offposition.
• Press the reset button on thePRCD.
Locking the switch
• In order to avoid unauthorised use of the machine, lock the switch using apadlock.
Basic saw cuts
General Handling
• Try a few simple projects using scrap material until you develop a “feel” for themachine.
• Always make dry runs (without power) before finish cuts so that you can check the path of
thecuttingdisc.
Vertical Straight Cross Cut (Fig. P)
1. Set the bevel angle to 0°.
2. Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc into a suitableposition.
3. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, with the finished side up. Align
the marking on the workpiece with the marking in the kerfindicator.
4. Keep both hands away from the path of the cuttingdisc.
5. Switch the machine on and allow the cutting disc to reach full speed. Wait until the
cutting disc is completely covered withwater.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the cutting disc, keeping it firmly pressed against the fence.
Do not force. The cutting disc speed should be keptconstant.
7. After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the cutting disc to stop and
remove theworkpiece.
Bevel Cross-Cut (Fig. Q)
Bevel angles can be set at 22.5° and 45°.
1. Loosen the bevel adjustment knob
12
and set the bevel asdesired.
2. Tighten the bevel adjustment knobfirmly.
3. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Diagonal Cut (Fig. A1, R1, R2)
The edge guide
5
allows cutting of angles at 45°.
1. Place the edge guide
5
with the mounting bracket
67
over thefence.
2. Flip the edge guide
5
into position for the required application:
- Flip the edge guide to the right for cutting small pieces from largetiles.
- Flip the edge guide to the left for any otherapplication.
3. Set the edge guide to the requireddistance.
4. Tighten the knob
68
to secure the guide inplace.
5. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Plunge Cut (Fig.S)
A plunge cut is used to remove the centre of a tile, e.g. for electrical outlets, drains,etc.
1. Mark the area to be cut on both sides of thetile.
2. Fit the appopriate size of cuttingdisc.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to allow the cutting disc to saw only halfway through
theworkpiece.
4. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, with the finished side up. Align
the marking on the workpiece with the marking in the kerfindicator.
5. Switch the machine on and allow the cutting disc to reach full speed. Wait until the
cutting disc is completely covered withwater.
6. Move the table until the marking on the workpiece is underneath thecuttingdisc.
7. Lower the arm to feed the cutting disc into the workpiece. Do not overcut the mark. As
soon as the marking has been cut, lock the arm into its highestposition.
8. Repeat as for the othermarkings.
9. Turn the workpiece upside down. Proceed as described above for the second cuts to meet
thefirst.
10. After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the cutting disc to stop and
remove theworkpiece.
Grooving (Fig. T)
A groove is made into a tile e.g. to accommodate hiddenwiring.
1. Adjust the cutting depth asrequired.
2. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, with the down side up. Align
the marking on the workpiece with the marking in the kerfindicator.
3. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
