ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR TILE CUTTER
1. Remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment or
servicing.
2. If the supply cord is damaged have it replaced by a qualified person.
3. Always wear both eye and ear protection when using the machine.
4. Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the disc corresponds with the
rotational direction of the motor.
5. With the machine disconnected from the power supply, rotate the disc by
hand to ensure it is free from obstruction.
6. Always keep the disc securing arbor and collars clean.
7. Never try to cut freehand. Always ensure that the tile to be cut is pressed
firmly against the parallel side fence.
8. Ensure that the work piece to be cut off has sufficient room to move
sideways. Failure to do so may result in the off cut binding against the disc.
9. Never cut more than one tile at a time.
10. Never cut pieces too small to be held securely against the side fence
without leaving enough space for the hand to be a safe distance from the
disc.
11. Ensure that the table and surrounding area are clear with the exception of
the tile to be cut.
12. Never fit sub-standard discs to the machine. Only fit correctly sized
diamond discs.
13. Before cutting a tile piece, let the saw disc run freely for a few seconds. If it
makes an unfamiliar sound or vibrates excessively, switch it off immediately
and disconnect from the power supply. Investigate the cause or consult a
qualified person for advice.
14. Let the disc reach full speed before commencing the cut.
15. Do not force the disc to cut the tile.
16. Let the disc come to a complete stop before removing any jammed or off
cut material from around the disc area.
17. Always use the appropriate safety equipment that is required for the
product. E.g. goggles / safety spectacles, ear defenders (essential with
tools with a noise rating of over 85 dbA), gloves and face masks. In all
cases ensure that the safety equipment is in good condition.
