8. Remove the knob,
bolt and washer
from the blade
guard.
9. Place the blade guard onto the blade guard bracket. Secure it
in place with bolt, washer and knob. Tighten knob sufciently
as to allow the blade guard to rest on the table but lift when the
workpiece is pushed into the diamond blade.
Fitting the blade guard
1. Remove the screw and washer
from the blade guard bracket.
2. Position the blade guard bracket
within the water reservoir. The ‘L’ of
the bracket should point towards the
centre of the table.
3. Slide the blade guard bracket up
into the slot behind the diamond
blade, at the rear of the table.
4. While holding the blade guard
bracket upwards and in position,
fasten it to the table top with the
screw and washer.
Note: Ensure the blade guard bracket
aligned to the centre of the diamond
blade.

Saw position
As a safety precaution due to the product using water.
To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or power point getting
wet, the user should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord connecting the
saw to a wall mounted power point.
The “drip loop” is the part of the cord that sits below the level of
the power point (or the connector if an extension cord is used).
It prevents water travelling along the cord and coming in contact
with the power point.
Setting up the parallel fence
1. Release the parallel fence locking
clips and place the parallel fence
onto the working table. Ensure that
it is parallel to the blade. Use the
guide ruler to assist in achieving the
desired width of cut.
2. Secure the parallel fence in place
with the Parallel fence locking clips.
Setting up the mitre guide
1. After the parallel fence has been
secured in place, the mitre guide
can be clipped onto it. The mitre
guide can be easily moved forwards
and backwards on the parallel fence.
2. Loosen the mitre guide locking knob
and adjust the mitre scale to the
desired cutting angle, as displayed
on the mitre gauge. Re secure the
mitre guide locking knob.
Setting up the 45° fence
1. Raise the 45° fence,
lever out the support and
locate the tabs into the
corresponding holes in the
deck. Ensure the fence
is correctly secure before
making a cut.
2. SET UP AND ADJUSTMENTS

TILE CUTTING SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including
the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock,
personal injury and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an
emergency, before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
The tool is earthed in accordance with AS/NZS 60335-1
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New
Zealand.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order
to avoid a hazard.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect
the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged
or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension
lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk
of re and electric shock.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
