Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:
- Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
- Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
- Health damage is caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.
Intended use
The tile-cutting machine is designed for the standard cutting of small and medium-size tiles (glazed tiles, ceramic tiles or similar) which can be accommodated by the size of the machine. It is designed for DIY applications and craft businesses in particular. It should never be used for cutting wood or metal. The machine should be used exclusively for its intended purpose. No other use is permitted and the manufacturer will not accept liability for any damages or injury resulting from any such use; responsibility rests with the user/operator in any such case. Only use cutting wheels that are suitable for the machine. Saw blades should never be used. Compliance with the safety instructions, the assembly instructions, and advice and instructions on operation contained in the operating instructions also falls under the terms of intended use. All persons operating or carrying out maintenance work on the machine must be acquainted with the above and be aware of all potential dangers. In addition, strict compliance with the accident prevention regulations in force in your area, as well as all other general rules of health and safety at work, is imperative. The manufacturer’s liability shall be deemed void if the machine is modifi ed in any way and the manufacturer shall therefore accept no liability for any damages arising as a result of modifi cations. Even if the machine is used as intended, certain residual risk factors cannot be completely eliminated. For reasons of design and the construction of the machine, the following eventualities are possible:
- Contact with the diamond cutting wheel where it is not covered.
- Contact with the diamond cutting wheel while it is turning.
- Defective diamond tips fly off the cutting wheel.
- Workpieces or parts of workpieces kicking back.
- Damage to hearing if the ear-muffs specified are not used.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.
Before starting the equipment
- The machine has to be set up where it can stand firmly, e.g. on a workbench, or it must be bolted to a strong base.
- All covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted before the machine is switched on.
- It must be possible for the diamond wheel to run freely.
- Before you actuate the ON/OFF switch, make sure that the diamond wheel is correctly fitted and that the machine’s moving parts run smoothly.
- Before you connect the machine to the power supply, make sure the data on the rating plate is the same as that for your mains.
- Before using the machine, check all of the parts for damage and replace any parts that are damaged. When replacing any parts or accessories, always carefully follow the instructions in this manual.
- For optimum performance and maximum safety, keep the machine clean at all times.
- Check the machine cable at regular intervals.
- While the machine is running, check the wearing parts and the fastenings of parts that may have become loose and check that all accessories are correctly fitted.
- Notice! The tile-cutting machine is designed for use with water.
- Check that the water level is high enough to cover the diamond part of the wheel each time before you start a cutting operation and keep checking it during cutting as well. Fill/ refill the cooling water directly into the trough
Assembly (Fig. 1/9)
Assemble the equipment as shown in fi gures 1/2/3/7/9.
Changing the diamond cutting wheel (Fig. 2/3)
To replace the wheel when worn, proceed as follows:
- Pull out the power plug first.
- Remove the side cover (17).
- Apply an 8 mm counter holder to block the motor shaft.
- Unscrew the lock nut (18) on the wheel flange (16) with a 19 mm wrench.
- Clean the wheel flange thoroughly once the wheel has been removed.
- Mount the new diamond cutting wheel on the cleaned flange, fit the outer flange (16) and tighten with the nut (18).
- Fasten the side cover (17) again. Check that the diamond wheel rotates in the correct direction!
Adjusting the top wheel guard (Fig. 4)
- Move the wheel guard to approximately 5 mm above the tile you wish to cut. Lock the wheel guard (3) in position with the knurled screw (9) as shown in Fig. 1.
- Notice! The machine is fitted with a cutting wheel with a non-segmented edge.
Filling the cooling water tank (Fig. 8)
- Fill the tank as far as the corresponding markings (Fig. 8).
Operation
Important! If the cutting wheel becomes jam-med, switch off the equipment and disconnect it from the power supply; only then are you allowed to remove the workpiece.
Even cutting (Fig. 1/4)
- Set the cutting width with the parallel stop (2) and lock in position with the thumb screws (10). The width of the workpiece can be read on the scale.
- For diagonal cuts (45°) use the angle stop (1).
- Fig. 4 shows the correct position for your hands during even cutting. The rate of advance must not exceed the cutting capacity of the wheel. This is to make sure that no material comes off, as this may cause accidents or injuries.
Notice! Keep a constant check on the water level
Making 45° miter cuts (jolly cuts) (Fig. 6)
- Position the table as shown in Fig. 6 and lock in position with the handles (7). Position the tile with the glazed side on the work surface and make sure that the diamond wheel does not touch the glaze on the tile. Correct the cutting guiding position if necessary.
- Fig. 6 shows the correct position for your hands during mitre cutting to 45°. The right hand holds the workpiece in contact with the diamond wheel while the left-hand pushes the workpiece forward. The rate of advance must not exceed the cutting capacity of the wheel. This is to make sure that no material comes off, as this may cause accidents or injuries.
Power supply
- The electric motor is equipped with a motor circuit breaker switch. When the motor starts to run hot, it is cut out by this switch. Switch off the machine.
- Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up.
- In the case of low temperatures below +5°C, motor start-up is jeopardized as a result of stiffness.
On/Off switch (Fig. 1)
- To switch on, press the „I“ on the On/Off switch (12).
- To switch off, press the „0“ on the On/Off switch (12).
Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger
Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.
Cleaning
- Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
- We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
- Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
