ENGLISH
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.
4. Repeat the procedure to make a widergroove.
Plunge Cut (Fig.W)
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.
Diagonal Cut (Fig.V)
The edge guide
19
allows cutting of angles at 45°.
1. Place the edge guide with the mounting bracket over thefence.
2. Flip the edge guide 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
37
to secure the guide inplace.
5. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Bevel Cross-Cut (Fig. U)
Bevel angles can be set at 22.5° and 45°.
1. Loosen the bevel adustment knob
45
and set the bevel asdesired.
2. Tighten the bevel adustment knobfirmly.
3. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Cutting Cart Stop Knob (Fig. A, T)
The cutting cart stop knob
18
allows the user to bring the cutting cart assembly
11
back to
the same point each time. To set the position, LIFT UP AND ROTATE the cutting cart stop
knob and slide the cutting cart back until it stops. It can be set to three different positions
based on the userspreference.
• A: Unlock Position: Remove & install cutting cart
• B: Position 1: 90cm cut capacity. Cutting cart extends past theframe.
• C: Position 2: 45cm cut capacity. Cutting cart stops at the edge of theframe.
Switching On and Off (Fig. P)
• 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 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.

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.
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 on the cutting cart assembly.
Adjusting the Water Nozzles (Fig R1–R3)
Water nozzles
17
are adjustable to provide maximum water for cutting and maximum cut
capacity with the minimum amount of overspray and mist. The adjusting lever
36
allows easy
adjustment of nozzles to desiredposition.
• Optimum position for minimum overspray (Fig.R1).
• Water nozzles
17
can be fully retracted to allow for maximum cut capacity (Fig.R2).
• “Off Cutting Disc” position to eliminate water overspray between cuts and for the cutting
disc change (Fig.R3).
Locking the Cutting Cart (Fig. Q)
The cutting cart can be locked in the following positions:
‑ Front position (cutting disc freely accessible)
40
.
‑ Plunge position (cutting disc over middle of cutting cart)
41
.
‑ Outfeed position (cutting disc at fence)
42
.
1. Move the cutting cart
11
to the desiredposition.
2. Lock the cutting cart by rotating the pin lock
39
and pushing it into the hole in therail.
Vertical Straight Cross Cut (Fig.U, Y)
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.
NOTE: The cutting disc cover can be rotated up to help align the line on the tile with the
cutting disc. Loosen the bolt
59
with the wrench
25
and shown in Fig Y and rotate the
cutting disccover.
7. After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the cutting disc to stop and
remove theworkpiece.
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.
