• Firmly hold the tile in place and gently slide the cutting disc [I] along the adjustable bridge [B]
towards the tile. Do not force. Always cut towards the graduated ruler [F], otherwise the spinning disc
will push the tile upwards.
• When finished cutting the tile move the cutting disc [I] back to the other end of the adjustable bridge
[B] and switch off the cutter by pressing the on/off switch [A]. Beware that the cutting disc keeps
spinning for a while before coming to a full stop!
• To cut tile edges under an angle, loosen both tilt angle lock knobs [D] and tilt the adjustable bridge [B]
in the desired angle (max. 45°). Secure the tilt angle lock knobs [D].
• After use, remove the power cord from the mains and dispose of the water in the water reservoir before
storing the tile cutter.
• When the cutting disc shows signs of wearing, replace it immediately. Refer to §8 for the correct
procedure.
8. Cutting disc replacement
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
Cutting disc replacement
1 motor shaft 4 outer flange
2 inner flange 5 nut
3 blade 6 shaft – narrow end
• Before replacing the cutting disc, switch off the tile cutter and remove the power cord from the mains.
• Remove the cutting disk guard [H]. To do this, remove the two screws [K] and lift the guard over the
cutting disk. Be careful not to damage the water hose.
• Place the included hex spanner over the nut [5] and place the shaft holder tool (included) over the
narrow end [6] of the motor shaft [1].
• Hold the shaft holder tool firmly and turn the nut [5] clockwise.
• Remove the nut [5], the outer flange [4] and the cutting disc [3] from the motor shaft [1]. Note that
the inner flange [2] has an edge which fits in the arbor hole of the cutting disc. Always mount the
inner flange [2] at the inside (closest to the engine)
• Make sure the new cutting disc has the right specifications (see §10). Never use segmented disc types.
• When spinning, the cutting disc rotates clockwise when looking from the narrow end of the shaft [6].
Always respect the rotation direction indicated on the disc!
• Slide the cutting disk [3] and the outer flange [4] over the motor shaft [1].
• Screw the nut [5] on the motor shaft [1]. To secure it tightly, place the included hex spanner over the
nut [5] and place the shaft holder tool over the narrow end [6] of the motor shaft [1]. Hold the shaft
holder tool firmly and turn the nut [5] counter clockwise.
• Remount the blade guard [H] with the 2 screws and washers (2 per screw).
9. Cleaning
• Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.
• Regularly – preferably after each use - clean the machine housing with a soft cloth. Moisten the cloth
with soapy water when necessary. Never use solvents e.g. petrol, alcohol, ammonia… as these may
damage plastic parts.
