Safety and operating instructions
♦ Check that you are using the correct
recommended operating pressure, 87 psi (6 bar
(e)).
The maximum permissible air pressure, 90 psi
♦
(6.2 bar (e)), must not be exceeded.
Blow any impurities out of the compressed air
♦
hose before connecting it to the machine.
Select the correct dimension and length for the
♦
compressed air hose. For hose lengths up to 100
feet (30 meters), a hose with a minimum internal
diameter of 3 ⁄ in. (19 mm) should be used. If the
4
hose length is between 100 and 330 feet (30 and
100 meters), a hose with a minimum internal
diameter of 1 in. (25 mm) should be used.
Methods to prevent freezing
Ice formation in the machine can occur when the
ambient air temperature is 32-50 °F (0-10 °C) and
the relative humidity is high.
The following actions can be taken to counteract
the risk of ice formation:
Use CP Airolene Plus Tool Oil as a lubricant. CP
♦
Airolene Plus Tool Oil counteracts freezing.
Use a water separator.
♦
Connecting a water
separator
The length of the air hose between the compressor
and the water separator must be such that the water
vapour is cooled and condenses in the hose before
reaching the water separator.
If the ambient temperature is below 32 °F (0 °C) the
hose must be short enough to prevent the water
from freezing before reaching the water separator.
Lubrication
For problem-free operation, continuous lubrication
of the air motor is required. Before using and after
each eight hours service, remove oil plug and fill
reservoir with recommended oil, see below.
Use a synthetic lubricant such as CP Airolene Plus
Tool Oil or mineral oil with the properties
recommended in the table below.

Oiler adjustment
Every day before using and after each eight hours
of working with the saw, fill the integrated oil
reservoir with recommended oil.

1. Press the vent button (A), to vent out pressurized
air.
2. Remove the Manual safety valve (B) and fill the
integrated oil reservoir with recommended oil.
3. If oiler adjustment is needed, adjust the oil
regulating screw (C), clockwise to reduce flow
and counter clockwise to increase flow.
Cutting blade
Selecting the right cutting blade
Selecting the right cutting blade is a precondition
for proper machine function. It is important to select
cutting blades of high quality to avoid unnecessary
machine damage.
Two standard cutting blade designs are available;
abrasive blades and diamond blades.
Abrasive blades are made up of abrasive particles
held together by an organic bonding agent. The
type and size of the abrasive particles determine the
cutting characteristics of the blade.
Diamond blades are manufactured from industrial
diamonds held together by a bonding agent. These
blades are characterized as having low operational
cost, constant cutting depth and less cutting dust
formation.
The machine can be destroyed if you use an incorrect
cutting blade.
Recommended cutting blades are listed in the
machine's spare parts list.
