5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR MACHINE USE
•
Make sure the tool guard is correctly installed and securely attached before starting. Do not use the machine
without the tool guard installed.
•
Use the machine only on polished surfaces!
•
Keep hands away from tools. Do not reach underneath work and do not attempt to remove any cut material
while tool is in operation;
•
Before fitting any tool on the spindle, make sure that all surfaces are completely clean. Do not use tools with
incorrect-sized holes;
•
Make sure that all rotating tools are perfectly balanced and never use a tool if it is cracked, bend or damaged;
•
If spare parts are required, use original equipment spare parts only.
6. PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION
I.
General notes of delivery
In case of damaged or missing parts, do not use the machine. Inform the freight company as well as the seller
immediately.
Open the case and carefully remove all transport bolts fastening the machine to the base.
Do not leave packing elements (foam polystyrene, bags or plastic materials, nylon, etc.) within children's reach as
they present a suffocation hazard.
The machine is equipped by the manufacturer with:
•
Bolts and washers for fitting the tools;
•
Owner's operating manual;
•
Transparent tool guard protection that attached to the front of the machine.
II.
Installation
Install the machine in a safe, appropriate work area. Do not leave machine unattended within reach of children,
and keep it protected from damp conditions. Do not expose machine to rain or water sprayed from other nearby
machines in use. The machine must be always used on a stable work surface, under which a proper drain fall or
adequate waste line should be set to let Plug the machine power cord into an appropriate 220V grounded
receptacle.
III.
Connection to water supply
Connect one end of a flexible water hose of ½ inch (12 mm) diameter inside to your water supply (which must be
equipped with a shut-off) and connect the other end to the male quick-connect hose fitting which comes with the
machine. The water shut-off allows you to turn off the water flow when the unit is temporarily not in use, and
during tool replacement.
The water supply must deliver a minimum pressure of 60 PSI and flow capacity of least 4 Gallons per minute (15
liters/min.). It's recommended to use clean water to ensure better machine performance. 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. Please be advised that water lubrication of all
tools is very important in order to assure maximum production and to achieve good shape-milling results.
Therefore, it is necessary that the flexible water hoses, which can be aimed in any direction, be properly
positioned to spray directly on the tools point of contact with the stonework surface, following the rotation
direction of the spindle.
The water supply shut-off valve must always be closed when the machine is not in use, particularly at the end of
every workday.
IV.
Electrical connection
A qualified electrician should perform any electrical connections. Before making any electrical connections, confirm
that the data indicated on the identification plate corresponds exactly to your power supply, and that the circuit
protection is adequate to operate the equipment. To avoid risk of overheating and short circuits, do not use
adaptors and/or extension cords with this equipment.
The machine has been designed to run on a 220V, 60Hz, single-phase grounded power supply.
The emergency stop push-button must be pressed as soon as any dangerous situation with the machine occurs.
This safety feature instantly stops the machine by interrupting the power to the motor. Before restarting the
machine after an emergency stop, turn the emergency off.
