Proper use

The tile cutting machine is designed for the standard cutting of small and mediumsize 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 which 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 whe-re it is not covered.
• Contact with the diamond cutting wheel while it is turning.
• Defective diamond tips flying 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.
