Always use common sense

It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can face. Always exercise care and use your common sense. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an experienced user. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of!

Electrical safety

| WARNING! There is always a risk of shocks from electrically powered machines. Avoid unfavorable weather conditions and body contact with lightning conductors and metal objects. Always follow the instructions in the Operator’s manual to avoid damage.
Never connect the machine to a outlet if plug or cord is damaged.
---|---
| WARNING! When cleaning the machine, make sure to avoid water entering the electrical system and the motor unit. Water can cause damage to the machine or short circuit.
---|---

Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that stated on the rating plate on the machine.
Inspection and/or maintenance should be carried out with the motor switched off and the plug disconnected.
Always shut down the machine before disconnecting the power plug.
Never drag the machine by means of the cord and never pull out the plug by pulling the cord. Hold the plug to disconnect the power cord.
Never use the machine if any cable or plug is damaged, but hand it in to an authorized service workshop for repair.
Always connect the machine through an ground fault circuit interrupter with personal protection, i.e. an ground fault circuit interrupter that trips at an ground fault of 30 mA.

Grounding instructions

| WARNING! Improper connection can result in the risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug. If it will not fit the outlet have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Make sure local regulations and ordinances are followed.
If the grounding instructions are not fully understood contact a qualified electrician.
---|---

The machine is equipped with a grounded cord and plug and should always be connected to a grounded outlet. This reduces the risk of electric shock in the event of malfunction.

Extension cords and cables

The marking on the extension cable must be the same or higher than the value stated on the machine’s rating plate.
Use grounded extension cables.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
Keep the connection to the extension cord dry and off the ground.
Keep cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cable increase the risk of electric shock.
Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and in good condition. Never use the machine if any cable or plug is damaged, but hand it in to an authorized service workshop for repair.
To avoid overheating do not use the extension cord while it is rolled up.
When using an extension cable, use only certified extension cables with sufficient reach. For more information, see “Recommended cable dimensions” in the “Technical data” section.

Work safety

Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
People and animals can distract you causing you to lose control of the machine. For this reason, always remain concentrated and focused on the task.
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Never start to work with the machine before the working area is clear and you have a firm foothold.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Personal safety

Never use the machine if you are fatigued, while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything that could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or judgement.
Check that no tools or other objects have been left lying on the machine.
Never allow anyone else to use the machine without proper training.

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Never stand on the machine.
Stand upright. Keep distance between your face and the cutting blade. Place both hands on the work piece as far away from the cutting blade as possible. If plunge function is used is one hand placed on the cutting handle.

Use and care

This machine is designed and intended for cutting tile and stone. All other use is improper.
Experience is very important when running the machine. A skilled worker is highly recommended.
The machine is intended for use in industrial applications by experienced operators.

Observe care when lifting. You are handling heavy parts, which imply the risk of pinch injuries or other injuries.

Water cooling to the blade

Water cooling through the blade guard should always be used when miter cutting and when diagonal cutting 500 mm (20″) tile. The cut is longer than the cart and at the start of the cut, the blade will not pick up any water from the slot in the cart.
Turn the water knob slightly to redirect water to the blade.
When reaching the slot in the cart, the water to the blade can be shut off in order to keep the area as clean as possible.

Basic working techniques

Loosen the lock knob for miter cutting and set the required angle.
Lock the knob.

Plunge cutting

The cutting arm is spring loaded and adjustable up and down.

Loosen the lock knob for the depth adjustment. With the handle on the cutting arm the cutting blade can adjusts up and down and create a plunge cut in the work piece.
