Operation - Ferm TCM1011 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Installing the tile cutter
• The tile cutter may only be used as a fixed tool
and should be screwed down to a level and
horizontal surface. Please use the screw holes
in the base of the machine.
• The electrical supply must be connected to a
230 V earthed wall socket. The mains voltage
must comply with the information on the type
plate, and must be protected by a circuit breaker.
• Do not use the power cable to pull the plug
from the socket. Protect the cable against
heat, oil and sharp objects.
Only use accessories and auxiliary
equipment mentioned in the instructions
for use or recommended or mentioned by
the manufacturer. Using other
accessories or auxiliary equipment may
carry a risk of injury for you and others.

4. OPERATION

Operation
Fig.1
• Before starting the job, please ensure there is
sufficient water in the water tray (4) i.e. the
diamond blade runs through the water. During
the job, the water tray must be topped up.
• Do not start working before the maximum
speed has been reached.
• The diamond blade must NEVER be exposed
to sideways pressure; they can break and the
flying pieces become projectiles!
• Do not attempt to cut extremely small pieces
from the tiles. Always make sure that the full
surface of the tile is on the work table. The
supplied mitre guide can be used to push the
tiles through the cutter. In the early stages of
cutting in particular, the tile must remain
absolutely level to avoid the tile moving up.
• Do not overload your tool. It is better and safer
to work within the indicated power range. Do
not cut materials other than tiles.
• Maintain your tools carefully. Keep the tools
sharp and clean in order to work properly and
safely.
• Follow the maintenance instructions and the
instructions for replacing the diamond blade.
• Stand safely and maintain your balance. Avoid
any unnatural body angles. Remain alert and
pay attention to your work. Use common
sense. Do not use the machine when you
cannot concentrate or when you are tired.
Full-length adjustable fence
Fig.1
The fence (3) enables you to cut parallel to the
cutting blade. Set up: Loosen the knobs (7) and
set the required distance. Tighten the knobs on
both sides of the work table. The markers
determine the measurements (8).
Mitre guide
Fig.1
The mitre guide has a variable setting between 0°
and 45°. Loosen the knobs (5), set the mitre by
tilting the table (1) up until you have reached the
required tilt. Tighten the knobs (5) again on both
sides of the work table.
Checking and replacing the diamond blade
Fig.1 + 2
• Cracked or distorted diamond blades must be
replaced.
• Type of disk: a diamond blade with a diameter
of 180mm.
• Do not use diamond blades that do not meet
the specifications in these instructions.
• Ensure that the diamond blade is secured
properly and rotates in the correct direction.
• To replace a worn disk, please take the
following steps (Fig. 2).
Disconnect the plug from the socket.
• Remove the water tray (4, Fig. 1) from the
machine.
• Loosen the splash guard's fixing bolts and
remove the splash guard.
• Loosen the blade fixing nut (4, Fig. 2).
• Remove the counter flange (3, Fig. 2) and
blade (2, Fig. 2) and push the new blade on
the flange (1, Fig. 2). Consider the rotation
direction indicated on the blade. Attach the
counter flange (3, Fig. 2).
• Tighten the fixing nut (4, Fig. 2) and the splash
guard.
• Ensure you do not leave any tools lying on the
splash guard.
