drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non‑skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust‑related hazards.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g ) 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.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety Rules for Tile Saws

WARNING: Do not connect to the mains power supply into the unit until complete
instructions are read and understood.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND
INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. A machine incorrectly assembled can
cause serious injury.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE IF THE CUTTING DISK GUARD IS NOT CORRECTLY
MOUNTED OR DEFECTIVE.
• TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES, KNOBS AND LEVERS PRIOR TO OPERATION. Loose
clamps can cause parts or the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds.
• OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR, INSTRUCTOR, OR ANOTHER QUALIFIED
PERSON IF YOU ARE NOT THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF THIS
MACHINE. Knowledge is safety.
• MAKE CERTAIN THE BLADE ROTATES IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION. See marking at
the guard.
• BE SURE ALL BLADE AND BLADE CLAMPS ARE CLEAN, RECESSED SIDES OF BLADE
CLAMPS ARE AGAINST BLADE AND ARBOUR SCREW IS TIGHTENED SECURELY. Loose or
improper blade clamping may result in damage to the saw and possible personal injury.
DO NOT OPERATE ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED VOLTAGE FOR THE
•
SAW. Overheating, damage to the tool and personal injury may occur.
• DO NOT WEDGE ANYTHING AGAINST THE FAN TO HOLD THE MOTOR SHAFT. Damage
to tool and possible personal injury may occur.
• NEVER CUT METALS. This can cause the carbide tips to fly off the blade at high speeds
causing serious injury.
• NEVER HAVE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY IN LINE WITH THE PATH OF THE TILE SAW
BLADE. Personal injury will occur.
• DO NOT PLACE EITHER HAND IN THE BLADE AREA WHEN THE SAW IS CONNECTED TO
THE POWER SOURCE. Inadvertent blade activation may result in serious injury.
6
• NEVER REACH AROUND OR BEHIND THE TILE SAW BLADE. A blade can cause
serious injury.
• SECURE THE MACHINE TO A STABLE SUPPORTING SURFACE. Vibration can possibly
cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over, causing serious injury.
• USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND TYPE SPECIFIED FOR THIS TOOL TO
PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.
• THE MAXIMUM SPEED OF THE TILE SAW BLADE SHALL ALWAYS BE GREATER THAN OR
AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE SPEED MARKED ON THE RATING PLATE OF THE TOOL.
• THE TILE SAW BLADE DIAMETER MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MARKINGS ON
RATING PLATE OF THE TOOL.
• INSPECT BLADE FOR CRACKS OR OTHER DAMAGE PRIOR TO OPERATION. A cracked or
damaged blade can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing serious
injury. Replace cracked or damaged blades immediately. Observe the maximum speed
marked on the tile saw blade.
• DO NOT USE WARPED BLADES. Check to see if the blade runs true and is free from vibration.
A vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER. Do not operate this machine without
guards in place
• USE ONLY BLADE CLAMPS SPECIFIED FOR THIS TOOL TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
MACHINE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.
• MAKE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT TILE SAW BLADE FOR THE MATERIAL TO BE CUT.
CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS OF CHIPS AND SAWDUST. Clogged motor air slots can
•
cause the machine to overheat, damaging the machine and possibly causing a short which
could cause serious injury.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionally contacted.
• NEVER CUT WORKPIECES THAT REQUIRE MANUAL ACTION CLOSER THAN 15 CM
FROM THE ROTATING CUTTING DISC.
DO NOT PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND. Hold the workpiece firmly against the
•
fence and the guide.
SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE AND WAIT FOR THE CUTTING DISC TO STOP BEFORE
•
MOVING THE WORKPIECE OR CHANGING THE SETTINGS. Reaching with your hand near
the coasting blade is dangerous
• NEVER PERFORM ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE WORK when the machine is still
running and the head is not in the rest position. Reaching with your hand near the turning
blade is dangerous.
• DO NOT CUT WORKPIECES REQUIRING A MAXIMUM DEPTH OF CUT EXCEEDING THAT
OF THE CUTTING DISC.
• DO NOT PERFORM DRY CUTS. Dry cutting not only results in damage to the machine, it will
also increase exposure to harmful airborne dust.
• DO NOT USE CUTTING DISCS FOR SIDE GRINDING. This can cause the carbide tips to fly off
the blade at high speeds causing serious injury.
• ALWAYS STORE TILE SAW WELL-PROTECTED AND IN A DRY PLACE, OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN. To prevent damage to the machine and unintended use.
DO NOT MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR PARTS SUBSTITUTIONS TO ALTER THE FACTORY
•
SETTINGS. Technical alterations should only be carried out by the manufacturer, in
compliance with the applicable.
• WEAR GLOVES DURING THE USE OF THE TILE SAW. Sawed workpieces could have
sharp edges.

WARNING! Take care that the connections are dry before activating the circuit and
plugging in the machine.
• Keep water clear off the electrical parts of the tool and away from persons in the
working area.
• Replacement of supply cord shall always be carried out by the manufacturer or his
service agent.

WARNING! After voltage recovery, set ON/OFF switch to off before actuating RESET
button of Portable Residual Current Device (PRCD).
• Ensure your installation is provided with suitable cut out of "B" characteristic
according to HD384.
