WARNINGS

• There must only be one operator during the cutting operations.
• With the exception of the operator, all persons must keep clear of the machine during cutting.
• The operator must be wearing all the personal safety equipment before starting up the machine (see Fig. 8).
• Water is essential for cooling and lubricating the diamond blade. Use of the blade without water will damage the
blade and shorten its working life.
• Do not put excessive pressure on the blade since this could cause destructive bending of the blade
during cutting.
• Excessive pressure on the materials to be cut could also cause the blade to overheat.
• All adjustments must be carried out and worn parts replaced with the machine disconnected from the
power supply.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: All maintenance work, whether ordinary or special, must be carried out with the machine
disconnected from the power supply.

at least once a week. The only ordinary maintenance, which can be carried out by the operator, comprises:
