3. Proper use
The stone cutting machine can be used for normal
cutting work on concrete slabs, cobblestones, marble
and granite slabs, bricks, tiles, etc. as long as the
machine is large enough to take them. It is designed
for DIY applications and craft businesses. It should
never be used for cutting wood or metal. The
machine should be used exclusively for its
intended purpose. No other use is permitted and
the manufacturer will not accept liability for any
damages or injury resulting from any such use;
responsibility rests with the user/operator in any such
case. Only use cutting wheels which are suitable for
the machine. Saw blades should never be used.
Compliance with the safety instructions, the
assembly instructions, and advice and instructions
on operation contained in the operating instructions
also falls under the terms of intended use. All
persons operating or carrying out maintenance work
on the machine must be acquainted with the above
and be aware of all potential dangers.
In addition, strict compliance with the accident
prevention regulations in force in your area, as well
as all other general rules of health and safety at
work, is imperative. The manufacturerʼs liability shall
be deemed void if the machine is modified in any
way and the manufacturer shall therefore accept no
liability for any damages arising as a result of
modifications. Even if the machine is used as
intended, certain residual risk factors cannot be
completely eliminated. For reasons of design and the
construction of the machine, the following
eventualities are possible:
앬Contact with the diamond cutting wheel where it
is not covered.
앬Contact with the diamond cutting wheel while it is
turning.
앬Defective diamond tips flying off the cutting
wheel.
앬Workpieces or parts of workpieces kicking back.
앬Damage to hearing if the ear-muffs specified are
not used.

(A). The user will require noise protection
measures if this is the case. (Wear ear-muffs!)
No-Load operation
Sound pressure level 94,5 dB(A)
Sound power level 107,5 dB(A)
6. Before using for the first time
앬The machine must be set up so that it stands
firmly, i.e. it must be securely screwed to a work
bench, the base frame supplied in delivery, or
similar.
앬All covers and safety devices must be correctly
attached before the machine is used for the first
time.
앬The cutting wheel must rotate smoothly.
앬Check that the voltage on the rating plate is the
same as your supply voltage before you connect
the machine to the power supply.
7. Assembly and operation (Fig. 3/4/5)
7.1 Fitting the hose and cable guide (Fig. 16)
7.2 Assembly of the sub-frame and cooling water
pump (Fig. 2-4)
앬Secure the feet (1) to the water trough using the
thumb screws (12). The feet and the mountings
for them are each marked with numbers.
앬Turn the sub-frame upright.
앬Place the complete tile cutter into the trough (3).
앬Place the cooling water pump (13) in a suitable
position in the water trough and secure it to the
base of the trough with the suction cups. The
pump, cable and cooling water hose (14) must
not be able to get into the cutting area.
앬Fill with water until the pump (13) is completely
immersed in water.
앬Remove the star handle screw (11) and spacer
(40).

Important: Before you lift the machine out of the
trough or transport it, the cutting unit must be
secured again with the star handle screw (11) and
spacer (40).
7.3 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6)
앬To switch on, press the “1” on the ON/OFF
switch (16).
앬Before you begin cutting, wait until the cutting
wheel has reached maximum speed and the
cooling water pump (13) has started supplying
the cutting wheel with water.
앬To switch off, press the “0” on the switch (16).
앬Your machine is equipped with an overload
switch (16 a). If the machine is overloaded, the
overload switch (16 a) will trigger. After a cooling
down period, the machine can be reactivated by
pressing the overload switch (16 a).
7.4 90° Cutting (Fig. 7/8)
앬Loosen the star grip screw (27).
앬Set the angle stop (5) to 90° and retighten the
star grip screw (27).
앬Retighten the screws (28) to fasten the angle
stop (5).
앬Move the machine head (29) to the far end with
the handle (9).
앬Position the tile against the rail fence (6) on the
angle stop (5).
앬Switch on the tile cutting machine.
앬Caution: Always wait until the cooling water has
reached the cutting wheel (2) first.
앬Move the machine head (29) slowly and
smoothly forward through the tile with the handle
(9).
앬Switch off the tile cutting machine after
completion of cutting.
7.5 45° Diagonal cut (Fig. 9)
앬Set the angle stop (5) to 45°.
앬Cut as described in 7.4
7.6 45° Lengthwise cut, “jolly cut” (Fig.10)
앬Loosen the star grip screw (10).
앬Tilt the guide rail (7) to the left to 45° on the
angle scale (17).
앬Retighten the star grip screw (10).
앬Cut as described in 7.4.
7.7 Machining large workpieces (Fig. 11/12)
To enable you to machine large workpieces, the
cutting unit can be pivoted upwards. In this position
you can machine workpieces with a length of up to
570 mm (up to a max. workpiece thickness of 38
mm).
앬Remove the screw (37) on the top for this
purpose.
앬The cutting until will pivot upwards automatically.
앬You can now complete the required cuts as
described in sections 7.3 to 7.6. All that is
required is slight additional pressure downwards
on the handle.
7.8 Changing the diamond cutting wheel
(Fig. 13/14)
앬Pull out the power plug.
앬Unscrew the four screws (30) and remove the
safety hood (8) for the blade.
앬Place the wrench (31) on the motor shaft and
hold.
앬Using the wrench (34), loosen the flange nut in
the direction of rotation of the cutting wheel (2).
(Caution: Left-hand screw-thread.)
앬Remove the outer flange (35) and cutting wheel
(2).
앬Clean the mounting flange thoroughly before
fitting the new cutting wheel.
앬Fit the new cutting wheel by following the above
procedures in reverse and then tighten.
Caution: Pay attention to the direction of rotation
of the cutting wheel!
앬Mount the safety hood (8) for the blade again.
8. Operating the laser (Fig. 17-21)
8.1 Stationary operation (Fig. 17/18)
To switch on: Move the ON/OFF switch (46) to the
“I” position.
To switch off: Move the ON/OFF switch (46) to the
“0” position.
Switch on the laser (45). A laser line is projected
onto the material you wish to process, providing an
exact guide for the cut. You can additionally adjust
the laser with the screw (47). To do so, undo the
screw (47) by a few turns. The laser (45) can now be
moved and adjusted vertically and horizontally on the
adapter (48). Tighten screw (47) again when you are
satisfied with the adjustment.
8.2 Use as a laser level unit (Fig. 17-20)
Remove the screw (47). The laser (45) can now be
taken off the adapter (48) and used as an external
laser level unit. The laser (45) is equipped with two
spirit levels (49) and can therefore be adjusted both
horizontally and vertically. The base plate (50) of the
laser is magnetic, enabling it to be secured on
suitable surfaces.
See Figures 20 and 21 for two examples of use.

8.3 Replacing the battery
Unscrew the 4 screws (51) and remove the base
plate (50). Take out the old batteries and replace
with new ones. Then screw the base plate (50) back
on.
Dismantle the laser before you clean the machine
with water.
9. Maintenance
앬Clean off all dust and soiling from the machine at
regular intervals, preferably with a cloth or a
brush.
앬Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
앬Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents to
clean plastic parts.
앬Clean off any soiling on the trough (3) and
cooling agent pump (13) at regular intervals,
otherwise the diamond cutting wheel (2) may not
be cooled as required. To empty the trough,
remove the rubber stopper (36) and drain the
water into a suitable vessel (Fig. 15).
