are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
1.4.6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
1.4.7. Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
1.4.8. Noise&Vibration Information.
Measured sound values determined according
to EN 61029. Typically the A-weighted noise
levels of the product are:
Sound pressure level 95 dB(A);
Sound power level 108 dB(A).
Uncertainty K=3 dB.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values (triad vector sum)
determined according to EN 61029:
Vibration emission value ah =3.80 m/s2
Uncertainty K =1.5 m/s2.
The vibration emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN
61029 and may be used to compare one tool
with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure. The declared vibration
emission level represents the main applications
of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may differ.
This may significantly increase the exposure level
over the total working period. An estimation of the
level of exposure to vibration should also take
into account the times when the tool is switched
off or when it is running but not actually doing the
job. This may significantly reduce the exposure
level over the total working period.
1.4.9. Keep the table flat and do not scratch or
press the table.
1.4.10. Do not put hands anywhere near the
blade whist it is rotating.
1.4.11 Do not attempt to free a jammed blade
without first switching off or removing the plug
from the mains power supply.
1.4.12. Keep water full in the tank when you
operate the cutter.
1.4.13. Do not use any solvents for instead
water in this tool.
1.4.14. Disconnect the tool from power source
when not in use or before servicing.
2. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
2.1. Ensure that the directional arrow on the
blade corresponds with the rotational direction of
the motor.
2.2. Periodically check to be sure the locking
arbor bolt is tight, and the blade is securely
fastened to the arbor shaft.
2.3. Check the blade carefully to see if cracked
or damaged before use. If cracked or damaged,
replace it immediately.
2.4. Only use a RCD-protected power source
or connect to an electrical power point using
an approved RCD circuit breaker. This is an
essential safety precaution.
2.5. Keep the cord away from the cutting area
and position it so that it will not be caught on the
work piece.
2.6. Before switching on, check that all
spanners and setting tools have been removed.
2.7. Never try to cut freehand. Only cut tile that
is securely held against the fence of the sliding
table or the mitre gauge. Never try to cut pieces
that are too small to be held securely or that do
not allow you to keep your hands safely away
from the blade.
2.8. Ensure that the work piece that will be cut
off has sufficient room to move sideways. Failure
to do so may result in the off-cut binding against
the blade.
2.9. Never cut more than one tile at a time.
2. 10. Ensure that the table and surrounding
area are clear with the exception of the tile to be
cut.
2.11. Before cutting a tile piece, let the blade
run freely for a few seconds. If it makes an
unfamiliar sound or vibrates excessively, switch
it off immediately and disconnect from the power
supply to find the source of the problem.
2.12. Allow the motor to come to full speed
before cutting.
2.13. Allow the motor to come to a full stop
before attempting to remove any jammed or off
cut material from around the blade area.
2.14. Never touch the moving parts or the
blade during use.
2.15. Never remove loose splinters, chips
pieces while the blade is moving.
2.16. Ensure that cut off tile pieces are not
caught by the blade and send flying.
2.17. Never walk away from the too until the
motor has come a complete stop. Never leave
