grounding plugs and 3-hole socket that accept the tools

plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or socket

getting wet, position the tile cutter to one side of a wall

mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto

the socket or plug. The user should arrange a ‘drip loop’ in

the cord connecting the saw to thesocket. The ‘drip loop’

is that part of the cord below the level of the socket, or the

connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water

travelling along the cord and coming into contact with the

socket.

If the plug or socket does get wet, DONT unplug the cord.

Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power

to the tool. Then unplug and examine for presence of

water in the socket.

Only CE Listed extension cords should be used with this

product.

Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient

operation of your tool, which can result in overheating.

Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient

current flow to the motor.

Do not let your fingers touch the terminals of the plug when

installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet.

If not properly grounded, this power tool can incur the

potential hazard of electrical shock particularly when used

in damp locations or in proximity to plumbing.

If an electrical shock occurs, there is the potential of a

secondary hazard such as your hands contacting the cutter

blade.

rip cuts and 0˚-45˚ mitre cuts on both right and left side.

• The right cutting table is hinged to work as an adjustable

mitre block for 22.5˚, 30˚ and 45˚ mitre cuts.

• The right cutting table has a built – in water reservoir for

cooling the blade.

• The water reservoir contains a side overflow hole to

ensure the proper water level.

UNPACKING

ASSEMBLY AND SETUP

Placing the blade:

Place the blade onto the shaft, pushing it against the inner

flange. Make sure the side of the blade with directional

arrow is facing towards you. Next place the outer flange

and blade shaft nut, and then tighten the blade shaft nut.

Make sure the nut is firmly tightened with enclosed

spanner provided. DO NOT OVER – TIGHTEN!

(See Fig A-C)

Placing The Splash Guard

Insert guard support into the socket. Make sure the

support is parallel to the blade. Place splash guard onto

support and tighten wing nut. (See Fig D)

Place the Rip Guide on the top of the cutting table and

clamp both ends. Rip guide can be placed on both right and

left side. (See Fig E)

Place the Mitre Guide onto the Rip Guide. The mitre guide is

designed to attach to rip guide. Therefore users use mitre

guide on both right and left side. (See Fig F)

SAW OPERATION

Take out the electrical cord to connect to the power source.

The electrical cord is stored underneath the counter.

Detach the splash guard, and then open the right cutting

table to fill the reservoir with water to the recommended

level. ATTENTION! Keep water level with lines. (See Fig G)

Attach the splash guard above the blade and close to the

right cutting table.

Now you are ready to cut!

Steps for rip, angle and mitre cuts :

The edge of the cutting table (upper frame) is marked

with rigid dimension in both inches and centimetres for

accurate cutting.

For 90˚ rip cuts, after the rip guide is positioned for the

desired dimension, lean the material against the rip guide

then push the material forward to the blade. (See Fig H)

For 0˚ – 45˚ angle cuts, attach the mitre guide on the rip

guide. Choose the degree you want and tighten the

adjustment knob. Then push the mitre guide and material

together forwards for the blade to cut the material.

(See Fig I)

For mitre cuts raise the right cutting table at the desired

angle, you can choose 22.5˚, 30˚ and 45˚. Put the two

stands into the grooves to hold the cutting table in place.

Place the material face down onto the left cutting table and

you are ready to cut. (See Fig J)

TILE CUTTER MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

Do not service, clean or maintain the tile cutter without first

turning off the motor and unplugging the tile cutter from its

power source. Failure to do so may result in serious injury

to the operator.

Always clean the tile cutter after each use and store in dry

conditions.

Wipe off all exterior surfaces and keep the cutting table

clean and free of all debris.

Always let the blade cut at its own speed. Do not force the

material being cut.

Always check the blade for signs of damage.

Always store the electrical cord underneath the saw after

use.

Always keep water level at the recommended level.

DO NOT let the saw run dry!

Never attempt to service the internal parts of the motor by

yourself as this will void your guarantee

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET. This

machine source must be earthed while in use to protect

the operator from electrical shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electrical current

to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The plug must be

plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided if it will not fit the outlet.

Have the proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment – grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The

conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is

green (with or without yellow stripes) is the

equipment grounding conductor. If repair or

replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do

not connect the equipment – grounding conductor to a

live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personal if

the grounding instructions are not completely

understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is

properly grounded.

Use only 3 – wire extension cords that have 3 – prong
