Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

Setting the groove depth (Fig. 1)

• Slacken the locking screw (6).
• Set the depth stop (7) to the desired depth.
• Tighten the locking screw (6).

Fitting the vacuum extractor unit adapter (Fig. 3/4)

Caution! For health safety reasons it is impe-rative that you use a vacuum extractor unit. The extractor socket is suitable for use on vacuum ex-tractor units (vacuum cleaners). The extractor unit must be suitable for the extraction of fine dust.

• •Slot the pins on the vacuum extractor unit adapter (9) into the recesses on the extractor connection (a).
• Turn the adapter (9).
• Unscrew the cap (b).
• Insert the vacuum extractor unit hose well into the opening on the adapter (9).
• Tighten the cap (b) until the hose is held firm-ly in place.

Trial run for new diamond cutting wheels
Have the equipment run in idle mode for at least 1 minute with the cutting wheels fi tted. Replace vibrating wheels immediately.

Operation

Switch (Fig. 5)

The equipment comes with a safety switch which is designed to prevent accidents.
To start the equipment, push the locking lever (5) forwards and then press the ON/OFF switch (4).

Wait until the machine has reached its top speed.

Changing and setting the diamond cutting wheels (Fig. 6-11)

Danger! Pull the mains power plug from the socket-outlet.

• Remove the handle (8).
• Remove the screws (a) and the locking screw (6).
• Take off the guard hood (3).
• Swing the depth stop (7) down and away.
• While holding the spindle lock (2) pressed, unscrew the outer flange (b) with the supplied flange nut wrench (c).
• Remove the spacer rings (d).
• Remove the inner flange (e).
• Thoroughly clean the spacer rings, flanges and fastening parts.
• Fit the inner flange (e).
• Then fit the diamond cutting wheels together with the spacer rings (d) to achieve the desired groove width.
  Notice! Take account of the direction of rotation when fi tting the diamond cutting wheels!

Diamond cutting wheels must always be replaced as pairs!

• You have 6 spacer rings available, each one being approx. 3.5mm in width. Please note that the width of the groove is determined by the sum of the spacer rings between the dia-mond cutting wheels and the thickness of the cutting wheels.
• All 6 spacer rings (d) have to be fitted irres-pective of the desired groove width.
• Now re-assemble the device in reverse order, taking care in so doing to ensure that all parts are fitted correctly and tightly.

Caution!
Only ever press the spindle lock when the motor and grinding spindle are at a stand-still!
You must keep the spindle lock pressed while you change the wheel!

Motor
It is vital for the motor to be well ventilated during operation. Be sure, therefore, to keep the ventilati-on holes clean at all times.

Working with the masonry channel cutter
(Fig. 12)

The device is fi tted with an overload cut-out. The motor will cut out if overloaded. Relieve the load on the motor immediately and allow the masonry channel cutter to cool down for approx. 1 minute without load.

Danger!
The device is suitable for dry cutting only!

• • Use a cable/pipe detector to check for conce-aled electric cables and gas and water pipes in the wall before you start using the masonry channel cutter.
• Select the desired groove width (see 6.2) and groove depth (see 5.1).
• Only ever guide the device along the workpiece while switched on.
• Place the device against the wall with the roller (10) against the wall.
• • Switch on the device and then cut slowly into the wall until the stop (7) rests against the wall.
• Now you can cut the groove in the wall. Take care with the cutting direction (a) as you do so. The device must always be handled on a counterrotating basis otherwise there is a risk that it may be forced out of the cut in an uncontrolled manner.

Caution!
Cut in a straight line only. It is not possible to cut curves.

• • At the end of the groove, swing the device out of the groove before you switch it off.
• You can then cut out the ridge between the two grooves with a chisel.
  It is prohibited to use the machine on as-bestos materials!

Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-ting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• • We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
