ELECTRIC TILE CUTTER Model No. ETC180 Part Nos.
Thank you for purchasing this Clarke Tile Cutting Machine. The ETC180 tile cutter incorporates a 180mm sintered diamond cutting disk and will make straight cuts on tiles with a maximum cutting depth of 33mm. The table may be tilted so that tiles may be cut to any angle up to 45 degrees. The maximum cutting depth at 45 degrees is 24mm. Please read this manual thoroughly before use.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. Common sense applies to the use of both this and any other electric power tool. In particular we bring the following points to your attention. ✔ ✔ ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit and uncluttered. ✔ Apart from the water trough which is provided to wet the cutting disk, ALWAYS check to ensure that all other parts of the machine and the surrounding work area are kept dry. ✔ ALWAYS use in a well ventilated area.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. WARNING! If the power cable is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately to avoid shock or fire hazard. Connect the mains lead to a 230 volt (50Hz) domestic electrical supply via a standard 13 amp BS 1363 plug fitted with a 13 amp fuse, or a suitably fused isolator switch. WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
INSTALLATION Provision is made so that the Tile Cutter may be semi-permanently fixed to a workbench or table, using suitable bolts in the two slotted holes in the base of the machine. If a permanent location is not feasible or desirable, always ensure its temporary location is flat and even and at a convenient height with adequate light. OPERATION 1. With the machine disconnected from the mains supply, measure the tile or piece of material to be cut and proceed to adjust: A.
CHANGING THE CUTTING DISK 1. Ensure that the machine is switched off and disconnected from the mains. 2. First remove the water trough, then remove the two screws securing the cutting disk cover, beneath the table, and withdraw the cover. Retain the plastic Splash Guard, which is secured by the same screws. 3. The drive shaft has two flats milled on its end, allowing a spanner to be used to hold the shaft whilst undoing the disk securing nut using a 19mm spanner.
