17.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired.
18.Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check that there are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly damaged, carefully determine if it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, proper mounting and any other conditions that may affect the operation of the tool. A part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service facility, unless otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.
Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does not turn the tool on and off correctly.
19.Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerator enclosures.
20.Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service facility to fit replacement parts.
Additional safety rules for tile cutting saws
Always connect the machine to a correctly earthed power supply.
SAFETY SWITCH. The unit is fitted with a 30 mA residual current circuit breaker (RCD) for extra protection against electric shock.
•For your own safety read instruction manual before operating saw
•Wear eye protection.
•Use top blade guard for every operation for which it can be used.
•Disconnect saw before servicing, when changing cutting wheels, and cleaning.
•Use tool only with smooth edge cutting wheels free of openings and grooves.
•Replace damaged cutting wheel before operating.
•Do not fill water compartment above water fill line.
•Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the blade corresponds with the rotational direction of the motor.
•With the machine disconnected from the power supply, rotate the blade by hand to ensure it is free from obstruction.
•Always keep the
•Ensure that the
•Never try to cut freehand. Always ensure that the tile to be cut is pressed firmly against the rip fence.
•Ensure that the piece of tile 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.
•Never cut more than one tile at a time.
•Never cut pieces too small to be held securely against the rip fence without leaving enough space for the hand to be a safe distance from the blade.
•Ensure that the table and surrounding area are clear with the exception of the tile to be cut.
•Before cutting a piece of tile let the saw 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.
•Let the blade reach full speed before starting the cut.
•Let the blade come to a complete stop before removing any jammed or off cut material from around the blade area.
•Never allow the blade to run dry. Failure to keep the water compartment topped up will result in possible over- heating of the diamond blade and a poor cut in the tile.
