Locking the sliding table (fig. M)
The table can be locked in the following positions:
– Front position (cutting disc freely accessible) (64).
– Plunge position (cutting disc over middle of table) (65).
– Outfeed position (cutting disc at fence) (66).
• Move the table (4) to the desired position.
• Lock the table by rotating the pin (22) and pushing it into the hole in the
rail.
Adjusting the water nozzles (fig. A & N)
The water nozzles (7) are adjustable to provide the necessary water flow of
cooling water.
• Adjust the nozzle by moving the handle (67) into the required position.
– Maximum capacity (nozzles fully retracted) (68).
– Minimum overspray (nozzles in line with cutting disc) (69).
– Off position to eliminate water overspray between cuts and for
replacing the cutting disc (70).
Regulating the water flow (fig. O)
The flow restrictor (71) on the water tube can be adjusted to regulate the
flow of cooling water towards the cutting disc.
• To reduce the flow, squeeze the restrictor.
• To increase the flow, release the restrictor.
Instructions for use
• 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 as shown in fig. P.
Prior to operation:
• 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.
Switching on and off (fig. Q)
• To switch the machine on, set the on/off switch (1) to position I.
• To switch the machine off, set the on/off switch (1) to position 0.
Wired into the mains cable is the residual current device (RCD) containing
the no-volt release switch and the motor overload protector with manual
reset. In case of a power shut-off, proceed as follows:
• Make sure the on/off switch (1) is in the off position.
• Press the reset button on the RCD.
Locking the switch
• In order to avoid unauthorised use of the machine, lock the switch
using a padlock.
Basic saw cuts
General handling
– Try a few simple projects using scrap material until you develop a "feel"
for the machine.
– Always make dry runs (without power) before finish cuts so that you
can check the path of the disc.

Vertical straight cross cut (fig. R)
• Set the bevel angle to 0°.
• Lower the arm to bring the cutting disc in lowest position.
• 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.
• Keep both hands away from the path of the cutting disc.
• Switch the machine on and allow the cutting disc to reach full speed.
Wait until the cutting disc is completely covered with water.
• 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.
• After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the cutting disc
to stop and remove the workpiece.
Bevel cross-cut (fig. S)
Bevel angles can be set at 22.5° and 45°.
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (11) and set the bevel as desired.
• Tighten the bevel clamp knob firmly.
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Diagonal cut (fig. T1 & T2)
The edge guide (5) allows cutting of angles at 45°.
• Place the edge guide with the mounting bracket (72) over the fence.
• Flip the guide fence (73) into position for the required application:
– Flip the fence to the right for cutting small pieces from large tiles.
– Flip the fence to the left for any other application.
• Set the parallel fence to the required distance.
• Tighten the knob (74) to secure the guide in place.
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Plunge cut (fig. U)
A plunge cut is used to remove the centre of a tile, e.g. for electrical
outlets, drains, etc.
• Mark the area to be cut on both sides of the tile.
• Fit the appopriate size of cutting disc.
• Adjust the cutting depth to allow the cutting disc to saw only halfway
through the workpiece.
• 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.
• Switch the machine on and allow the cutting disc to reach full speed.
Wait until the cutting disc is completely covered with water.
• Move the table until the marking on the workpiece is underneath the disc.
• 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.
• Repeat as for the other markings.
• Turn the workpiece upside down. Proceed as described above for the
second cuts to meet the first.
• After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the cutting disc
to stop and remove the workpiece.
Grooving (fig. V)
A groove is made into a tile e.g. to accommodate hidden wiring.
• Adjust the cutting depth as required.
• Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence, with the
down side up. Align the marking on the workpiece with the marking in
the kerf indicator.
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
• Repeat the procedure to make a wider groove.
