Unitom-5
Instruction Manual
Struers recommends the use of an exhaust as the materials to be
cut may emit harmful gasses or dust.
On the back of Unitom-5 you will find a joint for a 50 mm dia.
exhaust hose.
Remove the red cap.
Mount an exhaustion hose from your local exhaust system
onto the joint.
If you need to cut long, protruding workpieces, it is possible to
replace one or both of the plastic side plates with a rubber curtain
(optional). When you only need one opening in the guard, we
recommend that you use the left side to minimize the risk of
water spills outside the machine. Please check in advance with
your local authorities if this type of protection is approved in your
country.
Remove the 6 nuts holding the plastic side plate and splice
plate on the protection guard. Remove the plate.
Mount the rubber curtain and the splice-plate on the inside of
the protection guard. Fasten the rubber curtain with the 6
nuts.
If necessary, cut a few slots in the curtain to minimise the
water spills outside the machine.
The protection guard has a safety switch to prevent the cut-off
wheel from starting while the guard is open. Furthermore, a
locking mechanism prevents the opening of the protection guard
before the cut-off wheel is standing absolutely still.
