FITTING THE RIVING KNIFE/BLADE GUARD
Insert the riving knife into the table so that the threaded section
of the knife is under the surface ofthe table. Insert the two
securing screws (Pic 2) and align the knife with the blade
ensuring that there is a gap of no more than 5mm between the
bladeandtherivingknife.Donotusethemachinewithoutthe
bladeguardfitted.
STARTING AND STOPPING
Connect the unit to a power supply of the correct voltage and
frequency(230V-50Hz).
Tostartthemachinepressthegreenbuttonmarked“I”(Pic3).
Tostopthemachinepresstheredbuttonmarked“O”(Pic3).
N.BThismachineisfittedwitha“novolt”releaseswitch.Inthe
event of a mains power failure the switch will release and will
needtoberesetwhenpowerisrestored.Thiseliminatesthe
possibilityofthemachinestartingupunexpectedly.
FILLING THE WATER TRAY
To remove the tray, slide it outwards until it comes into contact
withthebladehousing(Pic4).
Lift the tray side of the machine until the tray can be removed
completely. Fill the tray to 3/4 full with water. Do not add
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that power tools are disconnected from the mains
supply when not in use, before servicing, lubricating or making
adjustments and when changing accessories such as blades,
bitsandcutters.
Do Not stop the blade by forcing the machine or by using
sidewayspressure.
DoNotfitgrindingorcuttingdiscstothismachine.
Alwaysuse thecorrect typeof bladefor theoperation to be
carriedout.
DoNotusebladesthatarebentordamagedinanyway.Thisis
highly dangerous and could result in a serious accident causing
injurytotheoperator,bystandersanddamagetothemachine.
Only use blades that are recommended by the supplier and that
areingoodcondition.
Do Not use blades that are larger than specified. Only use
bladesthatareratedforthemachine.
The rotational speed shown on the blade should always be
HIGHERthantherotationalspeedofthetilecutter.
Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the blade
correspondswiththerotationaldirectionofthemotor.
With the machine isolated from the mains supply, rotate the
bladebyhandtoensurethatitisfreefromobstruction.
Ensurethatmovableguardsoperatefreelywithoutjamming.
Keep Guards in place and in good working order. With the
machine disconnected from the mains supply check the
operationoftheguardtoensurethatitoperatescorrectly.
Alwayskeepthebladesecuringarbourandcollarsclean.
Wheneverreplacing bladesensurethatthe recessedsurface
ofthebladecollarfitssnuglyagainstthesurfaceoftheblade.
Ensurethatthebladesecuringboltissecurelytightened.
Donotovertighten.Useonlybladesthatarerecommendedby
themanufacturer.
Do Not start the machine with the blade in contact with the work
piece.
Never try to cut free hand, always ensure that the tile to be cut
ispressedfirmlyagainsttheguidefence.
Ensure that the smaller piece of tile being cut off has sufficient
roomtomovesideways.Failuredothismayresultintheoffcut
bindingagainsttheblade.
Nevercutmorethanonetileatatime.
Never cut pieces too small to be held securely against the guide
fence without leaving enough space for your hands to be a safe
distancefromtheblade.
Ensure that the machine table is clear except for the tile being
cut.
If any pieces become jammed isolate the machine from the
mainssupplybeforeclearingthe jammed piece. Never try to
removejammedpieceswiththemachinestillrunning.
Never allow the blade to run dry. Failure to keep the water
tray topped up will result in the blade overheating resulting in
damagetothebladeandapoorcutinthetile.
Do Not attempt to modify the machine or its accessories in any
way.
Do Not force the machine let the machine do the work this will
reduce the wear on the machine and blade and increase its
efficiencyandoperatinglife.
Use approved ear defenders and eye protection when using this
machine.
Wearwaterproofprotectiveclothingwhenusingthetilecutter.
Never use the tile cutter on a decorative surface unless it is
coveredwithathickdustsheetandaplasticwaterproofsheet.
