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 on the cutting cart assembly.

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.
• Fill the water basin with the sufficient amount of water for the water pump to be
fully submerged.

Vertical Straight Cross Cut (Fig. T, X)
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.

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.
