DALTOOL SAFETY

The use of saws and drills generates dust. Excessive airborne particles may cause irritation to eyes, skin and the respiratory tract. To avoid breathing impairment, always us dust controls and protection suitable to the material being sawed or drilled;

See OSHA (19 CFR Part 1910.1200). Diamond Blades improperly used are dangerous. Comply with

American National Standards Institute Safety Code, B7.1 and, Occupational Safety and Health Act covering speed, Safety Guards, Flanges, Mounting Procedures, General Operating Rules, Handling,

Storage and General Machine Conditions.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding and other construction activities contain chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

● Lead, from lead-based paints

● Crystalline silica, from bricks and cement and other masonry products

● Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber

For Further information, consult the following sources: http://www.osha-slc.gov/sltc/sillicarystalline/index.html http://www.oehha.org/prop65/out_of_date/6022kLstA.html

Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

TILE DRILL SPECIFIC WARNINGS:

● Do not touch the diamond bit during operation.

● Do not leave the machine turned “ON” when not in use.

It is important that you do not push on the drilling machine but let the machine do the work.

● When the drilling performance of the machine starts to decline it is recommended to dress the diamond bit using a dressing stick (see also page 9).

● If the bit locks during the drilling process it is recommended to stop drilling immediately so that the machine and the tile do not become damaged.

It is impossible to drill without a drill guide.

(see page 9). You can improvise a drill guide using a piece of wood or plastic.

Make a V-shaped insertion like illustrated and tape the guide onto the tile in the desired position.

● Connect the water tank and the hose to the

● Prior to the installation of the diamond bit it is important that both the machine adapter and the diamond bit are cleaned and greased.

● Mount the bit with the flat side opposing the locking screw.

● Secure the bit using the socket head screwdriver

● Remove the socket head screwdriver.

● Removal of the bit is done in reverse order. After use dry and lubricate the bit before putting it back into the original packing.

Defects and Faults

● Contact you local DalTile store for repair work. They can direct you to a service center.

Before changing tools always unplug the machine

Ventilation openings in the housing of the machine

● The ventilation openings must be free from objects such as Styrofoam, stone or concrete debris. Remove these objects before using the machine. If the ventilation openings are not clear it will mean that the cooling of the motor is diminished and can damage the machine.

● There is a small hole in the water injection head located behind the connecting valve for the water hose. When there is water coming out this small hole it is recommended that you stop using the machine and contact your local service center.

Continuing to use the machine can result in damage to your machine
