•  Use only cutting wheels which are designed for a 

minimum speed of 3000 min-1.

•  Selecting the cutting wheel Select the diamond 

cutting wheel to suit the material you want to cut.

•  Fitting the cutting wheel: Before you install the cut-

ting wheel, check the spindle, the spindle nut and 

the  flanges  for  damage,  wear  or  a  loose  fit.  Re

-

place damaged or worn parts without delay.

•  Direction of rotation of the cutting wheel: Check 

the direction arrow on the cutting wheel; the arrow 

must point in the same direction as the direction in 

which the motor shaft rotates.

•  Cutting wheel spindle: Make sure that the diameter 

of the hole in the cutting wheel is the same as the di-

ameter of the cutting wheel spindle on the machine.

•  Cutting wheel guard: Only use the tile cutting ma-

chine  with  a  properly  fitted  and  adjusted  cutting 

wheel guard. 

•  Cutting wheel speed: Do not exceed the safe oper-

ating speed of the cutting wheel.

•  Sanding/grinding with the cutting wheel Do not try 

to use the cutting wheel for sanding or grinding 

jobs, e.g. to sand/grind the edge of a cut tile. Al-

so, do not use the machine for radius cuts or round 

cuts. This tile cutting machine is suitable only for 

household use.

•  Cutting wheel stop time: After the machine has 

been switched off, the cutting wheel needs 40 sec

-

onds to come to a standstill. Wait until the cutting 

wheel has stopped completely, pull the power plug 

out of the socket outlet, and only then touch the 

cutting wheel if necessary.

•  Avoid all contact with the rotating cutting wheel 

when the machine is in operation.

•  The electric tool must never be used without the 

PRCD plug supplied with it.

•  Keep water away from electrical parts of the tool 

and from persons in the work area!

•  If the power plug or the power cable are damaged 

they must be replaced either by the manufacturer 

or by a service company authorized by the manu-

facturer.

•  To comply with the requirements imposed by the 

safety  regulations,  all  technical  modifications 

which change the equipment‘s characteristics (e.g. 

speed) must be left strictly to the manufacturer.

•  Keep this safety information in a safe place.

Special safety instructions for stone cutting ma

-

chines

•  Place the stone cutting machine on a level work 

surface with stable footing before using it. Ensure 

that there is sufficient room for freedom of move

-

ment.

•  In order to avoid a dust hazard, the machine may 

only be used in the wet area. This is also mandato-

ry because the diamond cutting wheel is only suit-

able for wet cutting.

19. Check damaged parts

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other 

part that is damaged should be carefully checked 

to determine that it will operate properly and per-

form its intended function. Check for alignment of 

moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage 

of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that 

may  affect  its  operation.  A  guard  or  other  part 

that is damaged should be properly repaired or 

replaced by an authorized service center unless 

otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instructions 

manual. Have defective switches replaced by 

an authorized service center. Do not use tool if 

switch does not turn it on and off .

20. Warning

The use of any other accessory or attachment 

other than recommended it this operating instruc-

tion or the catalog may present a risk of personal 

injury.

21. Have your tool repared by an expert

This electric appliance is in accordance with the 

relevant safety rules repairing of electric appli-

ances may be carried out only by experts oth-

erwise it may cause considerable danger for the 

user.

22. Connect the dust extraction device

Wherever there are facilities for fitting a dust ex

-

traction system, make sure it is connected and 

used.

Warning!

 This electric tool generates an electro-

magnetic field during operation. This field can impair 

active or passive medical implants under certain 

conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or 

deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with 

medical implants consult with their physician and the 

manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat-

ing the electric tool.

Special safety information

Caution! This tile cutting machine is designed for wet 

cutting only. The machine may be operated only with 

a non-segmented diamond cutting wheel.

•  Wet hands: Never touch the electrical components 

of the machine (e.g. switches) with wet hands.

•  Plug-in connections: All plug-in connections must 

be located in a dry place and must not lie on the 

floor.

•  Cooling the cutting wheel: Make sure that the cut-

ting wheel is cooled with water during the complete 

cutting process.

•  Dry cutting: Never carry out dry cuts with cutting 

wheels designed for wet cutting.

•  Dust protection: Always wear a protective dust 

mask when cutting tiles.

•  Diamond cutting wheels: Do not feed the tile into 

the machine any faster than the cutting wheel can 

cut.
