safely and in compliance with current safety standards.
2. GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do not remove any labels and/or instructions attached to the equipment for any reason. They contain
important information about the use and safe operation on the machine.
•
Improper use, unauthorized repair and/or any other kind of modification to the machine may cause dangerous
working conditions, and shall automatically void any warranty rights. Improper use means the use of the
machine under working conditions which are not in the conformity with the instructions in this manual and
which would be dangerous to operator or to bystanders.
•
Do not block motor cooling vent. Blocking the vent could result in motor damage.
•
Machine operator should wear personal protective equipment according to standard safety and accident
prevention precautions.
•
Disconnect the machine's electrical supply when not in use.
•
Keep your workstation clean and organized to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
•
The safe use of the electrical equipment requires adherence to fundamental safety precautions:
•
Do not use the equipment barefooted or without insulated footwear.
•
Do not remove the electrical plug from an outlet by pulling on the electrical cord;
•
Outdoor use is not recommended. Protect the machine from rain and store the machine in the dry place;
•
Extreme caution and care must be observed when using any extension cord connected to the machine's
electrical cord.
•
If an extension cord must be used, make sure that it is of adequate wire size to carry the required voltage/
current safety (Extension cord wire diameter must be proportionally larger than the machine's electrical cord,
according to its length. If wire size not adequate, each additional meter of extension cord shall cause a loss of
voltage, which could damage the motor.);
•
In general, the use of adapters and multiple jacks is not advised. If they are necessary, only use simple
adapters or multiple jacks complying with the latest safety standards.
•
Take care not to exceed the top limit of stated electrical supply and maximum power on the devices;
•
Keep children away from working area and do not let untrained or unauthorized persons use the machine;
Electrical safety of the machine is guaranteed only if it has been connected to an electrical system equipped
with regular grounding and a ground fault interrupter according to electrical safety requirements;
•
Please make sure connecting the machine to the adequate electrical supply required for maximum motor
performance.
•
Power supply an outlet must meet motor requirements and machine capacity as stated on the accompanying
wiring diagram.
4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
Make sure the water pressure is high enough to allow a smooth aquaplaning of the machine. The water supply
must deliver a minimum pressure of 60 PSI and flow capacity of least 4 Gallons per minute (15 liters/min.).
Easy test can be done: Put the machine on a slab in working position open the water supply, open first (back)
valve completely adjust second (front) valve so the tool has adequate water-cooling in working conditions. Now, let
go the machine if the machine begins to float from alone, the water pressure is ok for use.
Scratches could appear on the slab by lack of water pressure!
If the machine is too low to the slab, little stone particles cannot pass and will scratch the surface. If low water
pressure or to take extra safety precautions, adding a piece of plexiglass to the top can help prevent scratches
