Fitting the cutting blade

Partner cutting blades are manufactured and approved for
freehand cutting. The paper labels on each side of the blade
are there to distribute the pressure from the flange washer
and prevent the blade from slipping.
Fit the right bushing on the drive axle and then the cutting
blade on the bushing.
Different cutting blades have different inside measurements,
which is why different bushings must be used. Ensure that the
bushing to be used has the outside diameter intended for the
cutting blades inner diameter. The inner diameter
measurement is marked on the cutting blade.
The blade is placed between the flange hub (A) and the
flange washer (B). The flange washer is turned so that it fits
on the axle.

Tightening torque for the bolt holding the blade is: 15-25 Nm
(130-215 in.lb).
The cutting blade/axle can be locked by holding in the locking
button on the rear of the machine. The button is spring-loaded
and is reset when button is released.
When a diamond blade is mounted on the power cutter make
sure that the diamond blade will rotate in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the blade.

ASSEMBLY

There is an arrow on the rear of the machine that indicates the
axles direction of rotation that the disc is mounted on.
When the cutting blade is replaced with a new blade check
the flanges and drive axle, see the instructions under the
heading Checking the drive axles and flanges.
Checking the drive shaft and flanges
Check that the threads on the drive shaft are undamaged.
Check that the contact surfaces of the cutting blade and
flanges are flat, run correctly on the spindle and are free from
foreign objects.
Do not use flanges that are twisted, have damaged edges,
untrue or dirty. Do not use different size flanges..

Blade guard

The blade guard should always be fitted on the machine.
The guard should be adjusted so that the rear section rests
against the work piece. Abrasive particles and sparks are
then collected by the guard and led away from the user.
