Common sense applies to the use of both this and any other electric power tool.
In particular we bring the following points to your attention.
ALWAYS
keep the work area clean, well lit and uncluttered.
ALWAYS
place the machine on a firm steady base and at a comfortable
working height.
Apart from the water trough which is provided to wet the cutting disk,
ALWAYS
check to ensure that all other parts of the machine and the
surrounding work area are kept dry.
ALWAYS
use in a well ventilated area. Never operate the saw in the presence
of inflammable vapours.
ALWAYS
keep children well clear of the work area at all times.
ALWAYS
examine the cutting disk before use and replace if worn.
ALWAYS
allow the motor freedom, so that the cutting disk will be cutting at, or
close to its maximum speed.
ALWAYS
use Clarke general purpose safety goggles to protect the eyes from
flying particles.
ALWAYS
take suitable precautions in respect of loose clothing, long hair and
jewellery, as these are potential hazards which could get caught up in the
moving parts of this high speed machine.
ALWAYS
use a Clarke face mask to prevent inhalation of any dust which may
be present.
ALWAYS
turn off the power supply before making any adjustments to the
machine.
The use of work gloves is recommended, providing these allow you to retain
sufficient feel and sensitivity whilst operating the machine.
NEVER
force the cutting disk if it is reluctant to cut properly or tends to slow down.
NEVER
use this machine for cutting metal or vegetable matter. This machine
for cutting stone, ceramics, marble and similar hard material ONLY.
NEVER
attempt to repair the mains cable. If it, or any part of the switch assembly
becomes damaged, then it must be replaced.
NEVER
apply side thrust to the cutting disk. i.e. try to cut on one side of the
disk only.
NEVER
operate this machine with the Disk Guard removed

1.
Ensure that the machine is switched off and disconnected from the mains.
2.
First remove the water trough, then remove the two screws securing the
cutting disk cover, beneath the table, and withdraw the cover. Retain the
plastic Splash Guard, which is secured by the same screws.
3.
The drive shaft has two flats milled on its end, allowing a spanner to be used
to hold the shaft whilst undoing the disk securing nut using a 19mm spanner.
Pull off the Disk Flange, followed by the disk.
4.
Take this opportunity to clean the drive-shaft of any foreign matter.
5.
Replace the cutting disk ensuring the direction of rotation is correct. If in
doubt, take note that the shaft rotates in an anticlockwise direction, as you
look directly at it. The disk must be fitted so that the arrow, on the blade,
points in the SAME direction.
6.
Replace the disk flange and screw on the nut. It is sufficient that the nut be
tightened only as much as is possible whilst holding the disk by hand. DO
NOT overtighten.
7.
Replace the disk cover, ensuring the plastic splash plate is in place.
IMPORTANT: The splash plate MUST be in place to avoid the possibility of
water entering the motor housing.
CHANGING THE CUTTING DISK
MAINTENANCE
When carrying out servicing or maintenance tasks...ALWAYS disconnect the
machine from the mains supply.
Always rotate the cutting disk by hand before use to check for cracks or distortion.
If any damage is detected, renew the disk.
Check the power cable to ensure it is in perfect condition.
Drain the water tank after use and ensure it is dry before storing.
ALWAYS maintain the machine in top condition. When not in use, keep it covered,
and store in a dry place, not exposed to the elements.
