Cutting
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you make a test cut on scrap
material to check machine settings are correct for the cutting task at hand
• Only use this machine to cut tile, stone, concrete, roof tiles or similar
products.

• Do not attempt to make cuts that exceed the maximum cutting depth of
the disc (34mm)
• Do not start cutting before the machine reaches full speed

WARNING: Never touch the moving cutting disc
Cutting straight edges
• Place the workpiece against the Fence (19)
• Applying gentle and even pressure to the outside edge of the workpiece,
guide the workpiece into the Cutting Disc (8)
• If the disc does not cut smoothly or evenly, or if you find you need to
apply force to make the cut, check alignment of the Fence (19), Guard (2)
and Guard Support Bracket (3)
NOTE: If cutting remains uneven, or you need to apply force, the most likely
cause will be a worn cutting disc; In such case, replace the cutting disc
(see Maintenance)
