Cutting tiles
Preparing for Operation
When the sawing station is to be used for cutting tiles, the ad-
ditional PTC 1 kit is to be used.
The stop 15 is supplied as two parts, folded together.
– Before using for the first time, put the two parts of the stop
15 together, so that they cannot be taken apart after-
wards.
Lengthway Cuts (see figures F1–F3)
– Loosen the locking knob 3 a few turns.
– Turn the locking lever 10 of the guide rail leftward and fold
the guide rail 4 upward.
– Place stop 15 centred in the groove of bridge 8 and slide it
flush into base unit 1.
– Mark the desired cutting line on the workpiece.
– Place down the workpiece with the visible side up, flat
against the stop 15.
– Fold the guide rail 4 down and align the workpiece cutting
line to the scale of the stop 15.
