6. Before starting the equipment

•
The machine has to be set up where it can
stand firmly, e.g. on a work bench, or it must
be bolted to a strong base.
•
All covers and safety devices have to be pro-
perly fitted before the machine is switched on.
•
It must be possible for the diamond wheel to
run freely.
•
Before you actuate the ON/OFF switch, make
sure that the diamond wheel is correctly fit-
ted and that the machine's moving parts run
smoothly.
•
Before you connect the machine to the power
supply, make sure the data on the rating plate
is the same as that for your mains.
•
Before using the machine, check all of the
parts for damage and replace any parts that
are damaged. When replacing any parts or
accessories, always carefully follow the inst-
ructions in this manual.
•
For optimum performance and maximum sa-
fety, keep the machine clean at all times.
•
Check the machine cable at regular intervals.
•
While the machine is running, check the wea-
ring parts and the fastenings of parts which
may have become loose and check that all

accessories are correctly fitted.
•
Notice! The tile cutting machine is desig-
ned for use with water.
•
Check that the water level is high enough to
cover the diamond part of the wheel each
time before you start a cutting operation and
keep checking it during cutting as well. Fill/
refill the cooling water directly into the trough.
6.1 Changing the diamond cutting wheel
(Fig. 2)
To replace the wheel when worn, proceed as
follows:
•
Pull out the power plug first.
•
Take out the water trough (5).
•
Remove the side cover (17).
•
Apply an 8 mm counterholder to block the
motor shaft.
•
Unscrew the lock nut (18) on the wheel flange
(16) with a 19 mm wrench.
•
Clean the wheel flange thoroughly once the
wheel has been removed.
•
Take out the worn diamond cutting wheel (15)
and fit the new one to the flange, then fit the
outer flange (16) and tighten with the nut (18).
•
Fasten the side cover (17) again.
•
Check that the diamond wheel rotates in the
correct direction!
6.2 Adjusting the top wheel guard (Fig. 3/6)
•
Insert the splitter (19) through the table and
into the holder (11) from above and fasten
with the screws (20).
•
Move the wheel guard to approximately 5 mm
above the tile you wish to cut. Lock the wheel
guard (3) in position with the knurled screw
(9) as shown in Fig. 1.
