The values given are emission values and must therefore not
simultaneously represent safe workplace values too. Although there
is a relationship between emission and immersion levels, it can be
reliably deduced whether additional precautionary measures are
necessary or not. Factors, which can influence the immersion level
currently existing at the workplace include the duration of the effects,
the special type of the workroom, other noise sources, etc. e.g. the
number of machines and other adjacent processes. The permissible
workplace values can also vary from country to country. This
information should however enable an improved assessment of the
danger and risk to be carried out.

Normal intended use

The radial tile cutter is only provided for the application in
the home and handcraft fields. It is provided exclusively for
cutting small and medium-sized marble and granite slabs,
bricks and tiles of all kinds, according to the machine size.
The device shall not be used for cutting wood or metals.
Risk of injuries existing!
Use only cutting-off wheels appropriate for the machine, no
saw blades.
Only workpieces which have been securely mounted and
aligned can be processed.
The intended usage also includes compliance with the
operating, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by
the manufacturer and following the safety instructions
included in the instructions.
The relevant accident prevention regulations for the
operation as well as the other generally acknowledged
occupational medicine and safety rules must be complied
with.
Any other use is deemed not to be use as prescribed. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting
from this: the user bears the sole risk.
Unauthorised modifications on the radial tile cutter exclude
a liability of the manufacturer for damages of any kind
resulting from it.
The radial tile cutter shall only be assembled, used and
maintained by persons who are familiarised with it and
instructed about the risks. Repair works may only be
carried out by us or by a customer service agent nominated
by us.
The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive
environment or be exposed to the rain.

Residual risks

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information" and
the "Intended usage" as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Risk of injury for fingers and hands by contacts with the
running cutting-off wheel.
Risk of injury for fingers and hands by touching the
diamond wheels on not covered sections.
Injury by catapulted workpiece parts.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.

Safety instructions

In case of improper usage radial tile cutters can be
dangerous. If electrical tools are used, the fundamental
safety precautions must be met to preclude the risks of
fire, electric shock and injuries to persons.
Before commissioning this product, read and keep to the
following advice. Also observe the preventive regulations
of your professional association and the safety provisions
applicable in the respective country, in order to protect
yourself and others from possible injury.
Pass the safety instructions on to all persons who work
with the machine.
Keep these safety instructions in a safe place.
Make yourself familiar with the equipment before using it,
