INSTALLATION
Connection
Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure that:
- Voltage/phase of the power supply, match the date on the type plate of the motor and machine.
- The power supply line is grounded according to the safety provisions.
- The wire size of the extension cord is sufficient, H07RNF 3×2.5 mm² up to 50m for 230V.
Mounting a diamond blade
To mount a new diamond blade or replace the used one, proceed as follows:
- Switch off the machine and interrupt the power supply by pulling the mains cable from the mains outlet.
- Loosen the screws on the diamond blade guard so as to be able to remove the front half of the diamond blade guard.
- Loosen the nut of the motor shaft and remove the outer cutter flange.
- Clean the cutter flange, nut and motor shaft.
- Check the parts for signs of wear.
- Mount or replace the diamond blade. While doing so, pay attention to the correct rotation direction of the diamond blade and motor shaft.
- Replace the outer cutting flange on the motor shaft.
- Screw the nut onto the motor shaft again and tighten it firmly.
- Replace the front half of the cutting wheel guard to connect it with the rear half.
- Tighten firmly the screws on the cutting wheel guard.
NOTE!
The arrow on the cutting wheel indicates correct rotation direction.
NOTE!
The cutting wheel, irrespective of its position or the position of the cutter
head, may not touch the table!
Mounting the transport handles and wheels
Mount the transport handles at the appropriate places on the base frame using
the supplied washers (4x A8,4 ISO 7089) and the screws (4x M8x30 ISO 4017),
the spring washers (4x A8 DIN 127) and the screws (4x M8x20 ISO 4017).
Do the same with the transport wheels. Mount the transport wheels at the appropriate places on the base frame using the supplied washers (4x A,8,4 ISO 7090), the spring washers (4x A8 DIN127), the screws (4x M8x25 ISO 4017) and the nuts (4x M8 ISO 4032).
Mounting the extension table
If you want to work with the extension table, proceed as follows:
- Insert the extension table into the lateral grommets on the base frame and tighten it with the star grip screws
Fill the water tank
The water tank must be filled before the machine is started. Use clear, clean
water for this.
ATTENTION!
The water pump may not run without water, otherwise it can be damaged.
OPERATION
Intended working position of the operator
The operator takes position in front of the machine near the switch and the
chain driven handwheel to be able to slide the cutter head with the handwheel
and to press the red stop button at any time.
Start-up preparation
To safely use the machine as intended, the following preconditions must be
met:
- The machine stands firmly.
- The water tank is filled with clean, clear water.
- The machine has been checked for damage, loose screw connections and integrity.
- The water supply is functional.
- Rotation direction arrows on the cutting wheel and guard match.
- An appropriate cutting wheel must be installed, which meets optimum conditions.
Start-up
The machine is switched on by the main switch. For this purpose, press the
green button to start
After the start, check the following:
The cooling water must be pumped to the cutting wheel by the water pump in the
sufficient quantities and drain off on both sides. If this is not the case,
stop the machine immediately! The motor is equipped with thermal
insulationactivated when the temperature rises too high. Wait approx. 30
minutes before restarting the machine until the motor cools down
Cutting operation
Normal cutting in 90° position
When cutting in 90° position, the cutter head remains at a fixed point. For adjustment, proceed as follows:
- Switch off the machine -> the cutting wheel must stop rotating!
- Loosen the adjusting screw.
- Set the cutter head in the desired position.
- Tighten the adjusting screw -> check if the cutter head is adjusted in height and make sure that it cannot move.
- Put the material to be cut onto the table (for table saw machine position it directly at the material stop).
- Check the position of the material using the angle stop.
- Start the motor and the water pump and open the water tap.
- Grab the cutter head’s chain driven hand crank with the right hand and the transport handle on the frame with the left hand.
- Then slowly slide the cutter head through the material to be cut, without pressure. The cutting wheel then cuts through the material on the table.
NOTE!
The cutting wheel, irrespective of its position or the position of the cutter
head, may not touch the table!
NOTE!
In emergency, press the red stop button on the switch by the left hand.
Cutting method: 45° bevel cuts The machine offers the possibility of
performing 45° bevel cuts. To perform 45° bevel cuts, proceed as follows:
The machine offers the possibility of performing 45° bevel cuts. To perform 45° bevel cuts, proceed as follows:
- Switch off the machine -> the cutting wheel must stop rotating!
- Loosen the star grip screws on the bridge on both sides of the machine.
- ivot the complete cutter head including the bridge into the desired position. Orientate yourselves on the lateral scale.
- Tighten again the star grip screws.
- Then loosen the adjusting screw.
- Adjust the depth stop and fix this setting.
- Put the material to be cut on the table. Check the material’s position using the angle stop.
- Start the motor and the water pump and open the water tap.
- Grab the cutter head’s chain driven hand crank with the right hand and the transport handle on the frame with the left hand.
NOTE!
In emergency, press the red stop button on the switch by the left hand.
NOTE!
The cutting wheel, irrespective of its position or the position of the cutter
head, may touch neither the table, nor the back square! To bring back the
guiding bridge and the cutter head to the 90° position after the cutting
operation, proceed as follows:
- Switch off the machine -> the cutting wheel must stop rotating!
- Loosen the star grip screws on the bridge on both sides of the machine.
- Pivot the complete cutter head including the bridge into the desired position. Orientate yourselves on the lateral scale.
- Firmly tighten again the star grip screws.
NOTE!
Hold firmly the cutter head with the hand in the 90°¬ position. Tightening the
nut can turn the square back so that the angle of the cutter head is not
exactly 90°.
NOTE!
The cutting wheel, irrespective of its position or the position of the cutter
head, may not touch the cutting table!
Water supply
Heavily polluted water decreases the service life of the water pump and
cutting wheel. For frequent use, change water several times a day, and
collect, filter and dispose of the cutting mud Clean the suction strainer of
the water pump every time the water is changed
Stop cutting operation
Use the red stop switch on the motor to stop the machine.
