1 Basic Safety Instructions The ISM is exclusively designed for the cutting of construction products mainly on construction sites. Uses other than the manufacturer's instructions shall be considered as contravening the regulations. The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any resulting damage. Any risk shall be borne entirely by the user.
• Always cut with the blade guard in position. • Only fit NORTON diamond blades to the machine! The use of other tools can damage the machine! • Read the blades’ specifications carefully to choose the correct tool for your application.
As with all other NORTON products, the operator will immediately appreciate the attention given to detail and quality of materials used in construction. The machine and its component parts are assembled to high standards assuring long life and minimum maintenance.
Jig-welded steel construction with 500mm-diameter blade capacity, which offers maximum operator protection and increased visibility of the work piece. Incorporated in the blade guard is an outer metal vent, which permits easy access to shaft for inspection and blade replacement when motor is switched off, while fully protecting the blade when in operation.
Assembly and commissioning The machine is delivered fully equipped (although without diamond blade) but with the cutting head in the water tray to avoid damage during the transportation. Before using the machine for the first time, please follow these instructions to assemble your machine. 3.1 Cutting head assembly The head is supplied in the water tray.
Tool assembly Only NORTON blades with a maximum diameter of 500 mm can be used with the ISM. All tools used must be selected with regard to their maximum permitted cutting speed for the machine’s maximum permitted rotation speed. Before mounting a new blade into the machine, switch off the machine and isolate it from the main source of electricity.
3.4 Water cooling system and conveyor cart Your machine is supplied without conveyor cart. In order to use your machine, you must order either a flat table (code 00310004704), or a tilting cart (code 00310004702). As many refractory materials are sensitive to water, your machine is also supplied without water pump.
4 Transport and storing Take the following measures in order to transport the ISM securely. 4.1 Securing for transport Before transporting or lifting the machine, always remove the blade and the conveyor cart and empty the water pan. 4.2 Transport procedure Only use the lift brackets to lift the machine or to transport it using a fork-lift truck, as other parts of the machine are not designed for this purpose.
5 Operating the machine 5.1 Site of work 5.1.1 Siting the machine • Remove from the site anything, which might hinder the working procedure! • Make sure the site is sufficiently well lit! • Observe manufacturer's conditions for connecting to power supplies! •...

depth feed handle on the blade guard or the foot pedal. If the full depth of cut requires excessive pressure (on very dense material e.g.) make 2 or 3 shallow cuts. 5.2.2 Multiple step cutting Multiple step cutting consists of moving the conveyor cart with the material to be cut back and forward under the rotating blade, •...
6 Maintenance and servicing To ensure a long-term quality from the cutting with the ISM, please follow the maintenance plan below: Whole machine Visual control (general aspect, watertightness) Clean Flange and blade fixing devices Clean Motor cooling fans Clean Belts tension Check tension and adjust Water pan Clean...
7 Faults: causes and cures Fault-finding procedures Should any fault occur during the use of the machine, turn it off, and isolate it from the electrical supply. Any works dealing with the electrical system or supply of the machine can only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Spare parts for the motor can be ordered with the manufacturer of the motor or with their dealer, which is often quicker and cheaper. This machine has been manufactured by Saint-Gobain Abrasives S.A. 190, Bd. J.F. Kennedy L- 4930 BASCHARAGE Grand-Duché de Luxembourg.
