•  As a basic rule, switch on the equipment before 

material contact.

•  The elevated safety regulations for wet operation 

apply for this stone cutting machine. All safety 

measures to prevent elevated contact voltages 

must be applied.

•  Electrical cable wires may not come into contact 

with water or water vapour.

•  Before commencing work, check the equipment 

and mains cable for damage.

•  Only use approved extension cables for use out-

doors.

•  When using a cable reel, completely unwind the 

cable in order to prevent the cable from heating up.

•  When working outside, the electrical outlet must be 

equipped with a residual current circuit breaker.

•  Observe the motor and diamond cutting wheel di-

rection of rotation.

•  Only cut one workpiece at a time.

•  The cut path must be kept of obstacles above and 

below.

•  Make sure that you can remove cut workpieces 

from the cutting wheel from the side in order to en-

sure that avoid becoming entangled.

•  Use a push rod in order to guide the workpiece 

safely past the cutting wheel.

•  Only work with diamond cutting wheels which are 

exclusively suitable for wet cutting.

•  Use diamond cutting wheels which are the correct 

size.

• 

Keep you hands, fingers and arms away from the 

rotating  cutting  wheel.  Always  maintain  sufficient

ly. Deformed or cracked cutting wheels may not be 

used.

•  Only use diamond cutting wheels recommended 

by the manufacturer which conform to EN 13236. 

The use of any type of saw blades is prohibited.
