Straight Cuts

To t or replace the Cutting Wheel, rst take out

the removable side of the cutting table. Remove
nut and washer using the wrench provided

Position blade against the black inner washer

ensuring that the directional arrow on the blade
matches that on the cutting table. Replace the
washer and nut. Do not over tighten.

Place the Rip Guide on the preferred side of the
table top and line up with the rule edge to the
required measurement of the tile to be cut. When

correctly aligned, lock in place by pushing the
adjuster rmly downwards.

Position the tile on the table top.

• Electrical faults must only be rectied by a

IMPORTANT
Your new Vitrex Versatile Power Pro
750 has a Super Quiet Induction Motor
for ultra smooth cuts. For best results

allow the blade to do the work, rather

than forcing the tile through the
machine. Should the blade stop, simply
ease the tile away and then continue
cutting using slightly less pressure.
