6. Before starting the equipment
•
The machine has to be set up where it can
stand firmly, e.g. on a work bench, or it must
be bolted to a strong base.
•
All covers and safety devices have to be pro-
perly 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 fit-
ted 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 inst-
ructions in this manual.
•
For optimum performance and maximum sa-
fety, keep the machine clean at all times.
•
Check the machine cable at regular intervals.
•
While the machine is running, check the wea-
ring parts and the fastenings of parts which
may have become loose and check that all
accessories are correctly fitted.
•
Notice! The tile cutting machine is desig-
ned 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.
6.1 Assembly (Fig. 1/9)
Assemble the equipment as shown in fi gures
1/2/3/7/9.
6.2 Changing the diamond cutting wheel
(Fig. 2/3)
To replace the wheel when worn, proceed as
follows:
•
Pull out the power plug first.
•
Take out the water trough (5).
•
Remove the side cover (17).
•
Apply an 8 mm counterholder 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

GB
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!
6.3 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.
6.4 Filling the cooling water tank (Fig. 8)
Fill the cooling water tank as follows:
•
Pull out the cooling water tank (5) as far as
the stop.
•
Fill the tank as far as the corresponding mar-
kings (Fig. 8).
•
To empty or clean the cooling water tank (5),
remove it from the equipment. (This requires
you to raise the equipment a little and to tilt
the tank slightly.)
7. Operation
Important! If the cutting wheel becomes jam-
med, switch off the equipment and discon-
nect it from the power supply; only then are
you allowed to remove the workpiece.
7.1 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 advan-
ce 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
