• Replace damaged cutting wheel before operating.
• Do not fill water compartment above water fill line.
• Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the blade
corresponds with the rotational direction of the motor.
• With the machine disconnected from the power supply,
rotate the blade by hand to ensure it is free from
obstruction.
• Always keep the blade-securing nut and flanges clean.
• Ensure that the blade-securing nut is securely tightened
with the wrenches provided.
• Never try to cut freehand. Always ensure that the tile to
be cut is pressed firmly against the rip fence.
• Ensure that the piece of tile that will be cut off has
sufficient room to move sideways. Failure to do so may
result in the off cut binding against the blade.
• Never cut more than one tile at a time.
• Never cut pieces too small to be held securely against
the rip fence without leaving enough space for the
hand to be a safe distance from the blade.
• Ensure that the table and surrounding area are clear
with the exception of the tile to be cut.
• Before cutting a piece of tile let the saw blade run
freely for a few seconds. If it makes an unfamiliar
sound or vibrates excessively switch it off immediately
and disconnect from the power supply.
• Let the blade reach full speed before starting the cut.
• Let the blade come to a complete stop before removing
any jammed or off cut material from around the blade
area.
• Never allow the blade to run dry. Failure to keep the
water compartment topped up will result in possible
over-heating of the diamond blade and a poor cut in
the tile.
Position of tile saw
1. To avoid the possibility
of the appliance plug
or receptacle getting
wet, position tile saw
to one side of a wall
mounted receptacle
to prevent water from
dripping onto the
receptacle or plug. The user should arrange a “drip
loop” in the cord connecting the saw to a receptacle.
The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level
of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord
is used, to prevent water travelling along the cord and
coming in contact with the receptacle.
2. If water is present have an electrician complete any
necessary work or repairs. DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY
REPAIRS YOURSELF.
