Operation

Before cutting

NOTE!
Follow the safety precautions.
Check that the correct power cable is connected to the
saw.
Check that the coolant water coupling on the hose is the
same as the type fitted on the machine.
Enclose the area to be cut so that unauthorised persons
can not be injured or disturb the operator while working.
Clearly mark out all cuts to be made on the floor before
you start sawing, plan these so they can be carried out
without danger to persons or the machine.
In order to prevent stoppages and sources of irritation
while cutting, plan the work so that you fit the blade to the
most appropriate side of the machine from the outset.
Check that you have the right saw blade for the machine
and the material to be cut. See the technical data.
Check that the saw blade is not worn. The blade is worn
when only a few millimetres of the diamond segment
remains or when the diamond segment is not wider than
the body of the blade.
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or broken. A
broken or damaged blade guard must never be used.
Ensure you are fully conversant with how machine's
control levers work before starting the machine.
Make sure that the emergency stop is not blocked. The
emergency stop must not be blocked or covered while
working.
Check that the trolley feed, and blade feed levers are in
the neutral position.
Remove all foreign objects in the path of the machine that
can damage the machine or the surroundings.
Check that there are no unauthorised persons within the
safety zone, i.e. 4 metres in front of or to the side of the
machine.
Make sure that persons in the vicinity of the machine wear
hearing protection and protective glasses.
Move the machine so the blade follows the pre-drawn
cutting line.
Check your safety equipment and any protective clothing.
WARNING!
Carefully check that all electrical power
cables, water pipes and gas pipes are
marked out within the cutting area. To cut
into a gas pipe that has not been emptied
is directly associated with mortal danger.

Assembling/Replacing the blade

• Lift up the cutting bridge to its highest position.
• Disconnect the incoming electrical connection.
• Engage the machine's propulsion by moving the foot
lever as illustrated below.
• Fold up the blade guard and secure it in the raised
position by using the blade guard holder.
• Clean the blade flanges and check that they are not
damaged.
• Assemble the saw blade and check that the direction
of rotation corresponds with the arrow on the blade
guard. If the direction of rotation is not marked on the
body of the blade, the blade's direction of rotation must
be determined with the help of the wear on the
diamond segments, the exposed part of the diamond
should then be in the direction of rotation.
• Tighten the blade flange using the supplied spanner so
hard that it is well secured. At least 70 Nm.
• Fold down the blade guard.
• Check that the saw blade rotates freely and easily by
turning it by hand, and that no abnormal noise occurs
when the saw blade is rotated. Also check that the saw
blade is straight. Never cut with a damaged saw blade.
