REXON RTC200a - Operation manual anyone?

[zygo]

As some of you will know, I'm doing a DIY project to tile the floor of a garage conversion with granite tiles.
I have now acquired a used Rexon RTC200a radial saw. I've never used one before and there's no manual with it but it looks pretty easy - add water to the reservoir, turn it on and go.

Anything else I should know? Is there anything in the manual i should be aware of. If someone has a manual and can make a pdf of it, please PM me with details.

It seems to have the original wheel in it, which apparently was good enough for porcelain so I shall try it on a few granite offcuts. If I can, I hope to get away with that but 10mm granite is hard and I realise I might need to spend a bit on a better one by Marcrist or Rubi.

Thanks to all.

Try it with the blade your've already got but take it slow and don't rush the cutting, If it dos'nt work then go to Dave at Tradetiler

Google turned this up.

Thanks for the link, cornish_crofter. Sadly, the link is broken however. I did try the Rexon site first myself but they don't seem to list this saw (even though it is still on sale). I also tried the Screwfix site as they often have links to datasheets etc but not for this machine.

Nice try though. Thanks.

I used to have a similar cutter and there is nothing in the manual that common sense wont tell you.

Sorry - yes it is broken isn't it?

I've found that if you phone companies they are often only too helpful with getting a manual out to you electronically

I've done this a few times. One example was with a shower screen that had to be dismantled and reassembled. It was 3 years old but the manufacturer were happy to dig out and e mail the manual to me. the client now has a shower screen manual printed off.

Thanks for the idea, cornish. I emailed Rexon last night - they don't have one to upload but they're offered to post me one.

Result.
