1. USING THE MACHINE
RUBI electric cutters are professional precision machines, suitable for
cutting tiles, ceramics and other materials, either straight cuts or mitre cuts,
by means of a bearing guide system.
These cuts are made with water-cooled diamond blades.

General safety warnings for tools
WARNING! Read all of the safety warnings and all of the instructions.
Failure to observe all of the warnings and instructions indicated below could
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all of the warnings and instructions for future reference.
SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA
a. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and disorderly areas lead to
accidents.
b. Do not handle electrical tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools generate
sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away when handling an electric tool.
Distractions can result in a loss of control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. The plug of the electric tool must match the base of the electrical

outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use plug adapters
with grounded electric tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid contact between the body and grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, electric ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
c. Do not expose electric tools to rain or damp conditions. Any water that
enters the tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Treat the power cord with care. Do not use the power cord to carry, lift
or unplug the electric tool. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e. When handling an electric tool outdoors, use extension cords suitable
for outdoor use. Using extension cords that are suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If using the tool in a damp area is unavoidable, use a power supply
that is protected by a residual current device (RCD). The use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Be alert and pay attention to what you are doing, and use common
sense when handling an electric tool. Do not use electric tools when
you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
A moment of distraction while handling electric tools can result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use personal safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using
safety equipment that is suited to the conditions, such as a dust mask, non-
slip footwear, helmet or hearing protection will reduce personal harm.
c. Avoid accidental startup. Make sure that the switch is in the "open"
position before plugging the machine in and/or connecting the
battery, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying electric tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in electric tools that have the switch in the
"on" position leads to accidents.
d. Remove any spanners or adjustment tools before starting the electric
tool. A spanner or tool connected to a rotating part of an electric tool can
result in personal injury.
e. Do not overextend. Keep your feet firmly on the floor and keep your
balance at all times. This gives you better control over the electric tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery and long hair can become snagged in moving parts.
g. If there are devices for connecting suction and dust collection
equipment, make sure they are connected and used correctly. Using
these devices can reduce the risks related to dust.
USE AND CARE OF ELECTRIC TOOLS
a. Do not force electric tools. Use electric tools correctly for their proper
application. The proper electric tool will work better and safer at the speed
for which it was designed.
b. Do not use electric tools if the switch does not turn to "on" and "off".
Electric tools that cannot be controlled with switches are dangerous and
should be repaired.
c. Unplug the electric tool from the power supply and/or battery before
making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tools.
These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidentally starting
the tool.
d. Store electric tools out of reach of children when not in use and do
not allow people who are not familiarised with the tools or with these
instructions to handle the electric tool. Electric tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Cutting tools that are properly
maintained, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to become jammed and
can be controlled more easily.
f. Use electric tools, accessories, tool bits, etc. according to these
instructions and taking into account the working conditions and the
work that is to be done. The use of electric tools for applications other
than those for which they are designed can result in dangerous situations.
TECHNICAL SERVICE
a. Have your electric tool checked by a qualified repair service using only
identical spare parts. This guarantees that the safety of the electric tool
will be maintained.
Additional safety warnings from the manufacturer
1) WARNING! Do not use the machine for uses other than those for which it
was designed.
2) Adequate artificial lighting is required in work areas when ambient light is
insufficient.
3) Recommended operating temperature between 0 and 40°C and between
0.8 and 1.1 bar (maximum humidity 95%).
4) Before starting operations, wear protective gloves, hearing protectors and
protective glasses.
