Maintenance Tips

• Clean water pan daily: Remove slurry and sediment after each use to prevent pump blockage and maintain proper blade cooling.
• Change cooling water frequently: Replace water daily to ensure clean cutting and reduce blade overheating and wear.
• Flush water system & nozzle: Keep pump outlet and blade guard water jets clear for consistent cooling flow.
• Clean rail & cutting head: Wipe guide rails and sliding head to maintain smooth movement and accurate large-format cuts.
• Inspect diamond blade regularly: Remove residue buildup and replace if cutting slows or edges chip to maintain precision.
• Check electrical safety connections: Ensure plug, cables, and protection systems are dry and free from damage before operation.
• Avoid dry cutting: Always ensure proper water flow—dry operation can quickly damage the blade and reduce accuracy.
• Tighten stand & frame bolts: Maintain stability during heavy tile and stone cutting operations.
• Store clean & dry: Prevent corrosion on aluminum frame, rails, and steel components after use.
