ASSEMBLY
The machine is equipped with two handles and a blade guard. The motor has overload and overheat
protection. It has an integrated water feed system as required for diamond cutting and has a portable
residual current device (PRCD) for electrical safety. It is used primarily with diamond blades, but abrasive
wheels may also be used with this machine. It is intended for cutting masonry, stone, concrete, reinforced
concrete and similar materials. All other uses are prohibited.
DESCRIPTION
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
Loosen the wing bolt on the depth guide and move the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure
the base by tightening the wing bolt. In the case that you adjust the cutting depth to the maximum one,
ALWAYS
be sure to do the adjustment after adjustment of the wheel gaurd.
SECURING THE WHEEL GUARD
CAUTION:
The wheel guard must be adjusted on the tool so that the closed side of the guard always points
toward the operator. The wheel guard can be adjusted about 80 degrees, after you loosen the clamping nut.
Adjust to the desired angle, then secure the clamping nut.
SWITCH ACTION
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool,
ALWAYS
check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the OFF position when released.
CAUTION:
Switch can be locked in ON position for ease of operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking the tool in the ON position and maintain a firm grasp on the tool. To start the tool,
simply pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the switch
trigger, push in the lock lever and then release the switch trigger. To stop the tool from the locked position,
pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.
DO NOT
pull the switch trigger hard without pressing the lock lever. This can cause switch breakage. To
prevent the switch trigger from accidentally being pulled, a lock lever is provided. To start the tool, push in
the lock lever and then pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
There is a removable brush at the rear of the guard to help contain sparks, dust, debris and slurry. To install
simply push the brush into the slot in the bottom of the dust port bracket until it clicks into place. This brush
may be pulled straight out to replace when worn.
BLADE GUARD BRUSH
the spring-loaded splash guard is useful to help contain slurry which splashes toward the back. To install,
simply clip into place on the back of the dust port bracket. To remove, tilt upward to pop free. If the splash
guard is not needed, such as when cutting dry, it may be clipped up out of the way. Simply engage the male
clip on the flap with the female clip on the mount. Unclip to release.
SPLASH GUARD
Water is a basic requirement for diamond sawing with wet-type diamond blades. The water serves as a
coolant to avoid the working surface of the diamond segments from overheating. When the diamond bit
becomes overheated, both the bond matrix and even the diamonds break down, thus destroying the blade.
Beside cooling, water also keeps down dust and flushes away abrasive particles.
WATER CONNECTION
WARNING:
ALWAYS
use the GFCI when operating with water.
NEVER
allow water to enter the motor. It
can lead to electric shock.
WARNING:
The maximum water pressure should not exceed 70PSI (4bar).
