Unitom-50
Instruction Manual
Struers recommends the use of an exhaust system as the
materials to be cut may emit harmful gasses or dust.
A joint for connection of a 50mm dia. exhaust hose is located on
the back of Unitom-50.
On you will find a joint for a 50 mm dia. exhaustion hose.
Remove the red cap.
Mount an exhaust 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). If only one side opening is needed, we recommend
using the left side to minimise 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 has come to a complete stop.
