Electric Tile Cutter Maintenance Tips for Tropical Climates

Southeast Asia’s hot, humid climate can shorten the lifespan of tile cutting equipment — unless proper maintenance is practiced. Here’s how distributors and contractors can keep their Wandeli electric tile cutters in peak condition.

1. Keep the Water Cooling System Clean

Humidity and mineral-rich water can clog the system. Flush the water tray and pump weekly to prevent buildup.

2. Protect Against Rust and Corrosion

While Wandeli machines use anti-corrosion aluminum frames, always wipe down the machine after use to avoid oxidation.

3. Inspect and Replace Blades Regularly

Blades in tropical environments can wear faster due to heat and moisture. Replace diamond blades as soon as cutting quality declines.

4. Store in a Dry, Covered Space

Avoid leaving machines in open-air storage, even if sheltered, to prevent moisture damage.

5. Lubricate Moving Parts

Humidity can cause rails and bearings to stiffen. Apply light lubrication monthly to maintain smooth operation.
