HIGH FREQUENCY CONCRETE SAW & POWER CONVERTER ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS For your personal safety, READ and UNDERSTAND before using. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. High Frequency Concrete Saw Power Converter Warning: On tools equipped with over load protection, when motor has been cut off due to over load, always switch on machine with no load for at least 3 minutes to reduce temperature before returning to operation to avoid burn out of the motor.
General Safety Rules WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally break apart during this test time.
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback. • Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control. •...
3 Phase Power: Ideally, the power converter should be supplied with 380V to 480V three phase power for maximum performance. If the plug does not match the available outlet, a suitable plug can be mounted by a qualified electrician. Single Phase Power: In situations where 3 phase power is not available, this machine may also be run on 220V to 240V single phase power with slightly reduced power.
INTRODUCTION This machine is a special, high frequency PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motor) power tool which must be used in conjunction with its high frequency power converter for its power supply. This converter takes 220 to 480V, 50Hz or 60Hz, single or three phase supply and converts it to up to 600Hz for use with the motor.
Blade Storage And Transport Do not store or transport the machine with the blade mounted. Remove the blade and store in such a way that it is protected from being bent or damaged when the machine is not in use-this will help prevent damage to the blade.
performance will degrade and the segments will overheat. To resharpen the blade, turn down the water feed and make a few cuts in a very soft, abrasive material such as brick or an alumina oxide or silicon carbide dressing stone. MOUNTING THE BLADE First make sure that the machine is unplugged.
WATER CONNECTION Water is a basic requirement for this tool and is essential for cooling of the motor and converter. The water also serves as a coolant to avoid the working surface of the diamond Inlet Connection segments from overheating. Water also keeps down dust and flushes away abrasive particles.

then tighten the butterfly bolt. Butterfly Bolt FLUSH CUTTING KIT INSTRUCTIONS (Optional) The flush cutting kit enables a flush cut blade (not included) to be mounted to the machine which allows flush cuts to be made while the outer blade guard is temporarily removed.
while performing standard cutting. Never operate the saw with the outer blade guard removed except for flush cutting operations. WARNING: Check the tightness of the mounting screws and arbor screw periodically. WARNING: If any unusual vibration is felt in operation, stop immediately and find the cause before continuing.
the LCD screen Press the POWER button on the power converter to energize the • motor. "ON" will be displayed on the LCD screen and the Load Warning Lamp on the motor will be lit green. This indicates that the motor is now live and may be operated by its trigger switch.
• Whenever there is a situation where severing the workpiece will cause a hazardous situation, leave a tab of material intact and finish off the operation with a chisel or the like. Cutting Technique • Holding the machine with both hands to resist the start up torque, press the release button and then squeeze the trigger switch.
