INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms of table height
and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and
enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece
without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment temperature is not too cold,
machine and accessory is well maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for this machine.
WARNING:
•
Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
•
Check that the machine has been set up securely.
•
Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
•
Make sure the cutting disc is not contacting the workpiece before the machine is
switched on.
•
Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
•
Apply only a gentle pressure to the machine. Do not force the cutting action.
•
Keep your hands out of the path of the cutting disc. Do not place your hands within
the marked area as shown in Figure N.
Prior to Operation
•
Place the tile saw on a horizontal, stable, non-slip surface.
•
Install the appropriate cutting disc.
•
Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.

Basic saw cuts
General Handling
•
Try a few simple projects using scrap material until you develop a "feel" for the machine.
•
Always make dry runs (without power) before finish cuts so that you can check the path of
the cutting disc.
Vertical Straight Cross Cut (Fig. P)
1. Set the bevel angle to 0°.
2. Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc into a suitable position.
3. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, with the finished side up. Align
the marking on the workpiece with the marking in the kerf indicator.
4. Keep both hands away from the path of the cutting disc.
5. Switch the machine on and allow the cutting disc to reach full speed. Wait until the
cutting disc is completely covered with water.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the cutting disc, keeping it firmly pressed against the fence.
Do not force. The cutting disc speed should be kept constant.
7. After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the cutting disc to stop and
remove the workpiece.
Bevel Cross-Cut (Fig. Q)
Bevel angles can be set at 22.5° and 45°.
1. Loosen the bevel adjustment knob

into position for the required application:
-
Flip the edge guide to the right for cutting small pieces from large tiles.
-
Flip the edge guide to the left for any other application.
3. Set the edge guide to the required distance.
4. Tighten the knob
68
to secure the guide in place.
5. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Plunge Cut (Fig. S)
A plunge cut is used to remove the centre of a tile, e.g. for electrical outlets, drains, etc.
1. Mark the area to be cut on both sides of the tile.
2. Fit the appopriate size of cutting disc.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to allow the cutting disc to saw only halfway through
the workpiece.
4. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, with the finished side up. Align
the marking on the workpiece with the marking in the kerf indicator.
5. Switch the machine on and allow the cutting disc to reach full speed. Wait until the
cutting disc is completely covered with water.
6. Move the table until the marking on the workpiece is underneath the cutting disc.
7. Lower the arm to feed the cutting disc into the workpiece. Do not overcut the mark. As
soon as the marking has been cut, lock the arm into its highest position.
8. Repeat as for the other markings.
9. Turn the workpiece upside down. Proceed as described above for the second cuts to meet
the first.
10. After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the cutting disc to stop and
remove the workpiece.
Grooving (Fig. T)
A groove is made into a tile e.g. to accommodate hidden wiring.
1. Adjust the cutting depth as required.
2. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, with the down side up. Align
the marking on the workpiece with the marking in the kerf indicator.
3. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
4. Repeat the procedure to make a wider groove.
