Safety Warnings for Tile Cutters
 Use the tile cutter only for cutting the materials listed
under Intended Use. Marble or granite as well as tiles with
a rough surface structure and natural stone tiles cannot be
cut.
 Keep your fingers clear of the movable parts of the tile
cutter. Danger of fingers being crushed or contused and
considerably injured.
 Wear protective gloves when cutting tiles. Sharp edges
develop on broken tiles and can cause injuries to the oper-
ator.
 When transporting the tile cutter, use only the handles,
tighten all loose components (fences, rulers), press
down the locking lever to lock the guide rail, and fix the
transport safety-lock (see figures 15 and 16). There is a
risk of injury if it falls down.
