4. Operation 

Operation

Fig.1

• 

Before starting the job, please ensure there is 

sufficient water in the water tray (4) i.e. the 

diamond blade runs through the water. During 

the job, the water tray must be topped up.

• 

Do not start working before the maximum 

speed has been reached.

• 

The diamond blade must NEVER be exposed 

to sideways pressure; they can break and the 

flying pieces become projectiles!

• 

Do not attempt to cut extremely small pieces 

from the tiles. Always make sure that the full 

surface of the tile is on the work table. The 

supplied mitre guide can be used to push the 

tiles through the cutter. In the early stages of 

cutting in particular, the tile must remain 

absolutely level to avoid the tile moving up. 

• 

Do not overload your tool. It is better and safer 

to work within the indicated power range. Do 

not cut materials other than tiles.

• 

Maintain your tools carefully. Keep the tools 

sharp and clean in order to work properly and 

safely. 

• 

Follow the maintenance instructions and the 

instructions for replacing the diamond blade.

• 

Stand safely and maintain your balance. Avoid 

any unnatural body angles. Remain alert and 

pay attention to your work. Use common 

sense. Do not use the machine when you 

cannot concentrate or when you are tired.

Full-length adjustable fence

The fence (3) enables you to cut parallel to the 

cutting blade. Set up: Loosen the knobs (7) and 

set the required distance. Tighten the knobs on 

both sides of the work table. The markers 

determine the measurements (8).

Mitre guide

Fig.1

The mitre guide has a variable setting between 0° 

and 45°. Loosen the knobs (5), set the mitre by 

tilting the table (1) up until you have reached the 

required tilt. Tighten the knobs (5) again on both 

sides of the work table.
