For starting up refer to the engine handbook.

English - 3/6 ELECTRICAL SAFETY : Operate this machine only on a supply equipped with a 30 mA earthed current-limiting circuitbreaker. Otherwise, consult our catalogue for appropriate models. The RCCB must be used correctly,including testing it regularly. For tools supplied with an integral RCCB in the cable or in the mains plug, if the cable or plug has been damaged, repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer, one of his agents or by a qualified repair workshop to avoid any risks resulting from errors. Motor power supply: reinforced electric cable with 4 (3P+E) or 5 (3P+N+E) conductors 2.5 mm2 for lengths less than 100 m. Earthing of the machine (mandatory). Mains voltage (400 V). Direction of rotation of the motor : Direction of rotation on the right hand side of the cover (if the motor does not turn in the direction required reverse two of the supply wires. Always keep blade guard in place.

Disconnect by removing the plug.

Set the machine in the high position. Disconnet the water pipe from the blade guard. Unscrew the nut (K) from the guard [FIG. 1]. Lift up guard (A). Fit the diamond blade. Take care about the direction of rotation which is shown by an arrow on one of the faces (direction of rotation on the right side of the guard) Make sure the contact faces of flanges (B and C) of blade and the axle are clean.

Firmly lock screw (D) using the spanner supplied with the machine whilst immobilising the blade by hand. Replace the protection guard (A). Close the guard water tap (G) [Fig 2]. Reconnect the water pipe (G). Tighten nut (K). Engine : - Start the engine: refer to the instructions in the manufacturer's service manual. - Allow the engine to warm up.

Replace all protective covers for your safety and that of other persons. Note : how to adjust the « zero » according to the diameter of the blade : The blade must be closed to the floor. Loosen the screw (H) [FIG. 3] Line up the « zero » with the pointer, then tight the screw (H). 7 – STARTING UP Fill the tank with water, or connect with the water network. Mark the floor by drawing a line in the place to be cut. Fold down the front guide and position the machine so that the guide (F) and the blade line up with the mark. Electric motor : - Switch on by pressing knob I on the circuit breaker. Open the water inlet tap (G). Increase the engine speed to maximum. Low the wheel lock (E) [FIG.3], in order to turn the wheel (2). Lower the blade to the desired depth indicated on the side scale on the ratchet placed on the side. We recommend a slow descent to avoid stalling the engine. Start moving down to the depth of cut required, indicated on the gradiated scale fitted on the side. A slow descent is recommended to prevent stalling the motor. Once the required depth is reached, lock the wheel (2) by raising the block wheel (E). Ensure that the water supply abundant, when cutting wet.

8 – STOPPING THE MACHINE

Danger : risk of injury.

Emergency stop (engine) : Operate the switch on the machine's control panel. Emergency stop (electric motor) : Press the red knob (circuit breaker).

9 – INCIDENTS DURING SAWING

Store in a safe place out ot reach of children. Several causes can result in the blade stopping in the sawing groove or the machine stopping: Tension of the belt. Lack of fuel. Excessively fast feed or descent, etc. In all cases remove the blade from the groove and check the machine thoroughly. Entrust repairs to authorised dealer only. 10 – MAINTENANCE "Engine Maintenance" : refer to the engine maintenance booklet.

After use, clean the machine. Lubrication: apply a moderate amount of bearing lubricant to the nipples in the depth adjustment chassis (depending on the frequency of use). The spindle bearings must be greased after 8 hours of use, with a grease gun by pumping three to five times the grease into the greaser of the bearings. Only use a Super lithium 12 based grease in compliance with the NLG1 GRADE 2 consistency. Every 40 hours grease : depth control adjustment screw. Remove all wrenches. and After several hours of use it may be necessary to adjust the tension of the belts (moderately). To do this proceed as follows : Release the screws fixing the motor to the chassis. Turn the tensioning screw (N) at the front of the machine one quarter turn; this screw pushes the motor backwards [FIG. 1]. At normal tension, counterlock the nut of the screw (N). Relock the motor fixing screws. Never set tension. belts beyond original 12 – IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

Check ENGINE OIL daily. Read engine owners manual for O I L and OIL FILTER change intervals. Use : o SAE 10W30 motor oil with API class MS, SD, SE or better for PETROL engines. o API class CD or CE for Hatz diesel. tools

adjustment Store diamond tool in a safe place so it cannot be bent or damaged.

OIL Read engine owners manual for maintenance intervals. For extremely dusty conditions you may have to clean the air filter element 2 to 3 times a day. Replace any damaged filters or gaskets.

Dispose of the old oil as laid down by the regulations in force. To empty the motor, place a funnel at the drain outlet (V) [FIG. 3]. AIR FILTER : English - 5/6 Periodically tighten all nuts and bolts, particularly after the first few hours of operation. Check the tension of the belt. Tighten it, as instructed. When storing the machine, we recommend removing the blade and storing it carefully. Check that the blade is properly sprayed by inspecting the holes in the fork regularly. Tighten the blade firmly. Make sure the contact faces of flanges, blade and axle are clean. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for loss or damage resulting from misuse or any modification, alteration or powering that does not conform to the manufacturer's original specifications. At the work station, the sound pressure level may exceed 85 db (A). In this case, individual protection measures must be taken. When working in a limited or closed area, make sure that the ventilation is adequate. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide (exposure to this toxic gas can cause loss of consciousness and can be fatal).
