3 Assembly and commissioning
The machine is delivered fully equipped (although without diamond blade). It is ready for operation
assembly the diamond blade, the feet and the conveyor cart and after connection to the appropriate
power supply.
3.1 Tool assembly
Only NORTON blades with a maximum diameter of 350 mm can be used with the CGW.
All tools used must be selected with regard to their maximum permitted cutting speed for the
machine's maximum permitted rotation speed.
Before mounting a new blade into the machine, switch off the machine and isolate it from the main
source of electricity.
To mount a new blade, follow these steps:
•
Loosen on the outside cover of blade guard the three wing nuts and remove the outer guard.
•
Loosen the hexagonal nut on the blade shaft (Caution: left threaded), which holds the removable
outer flange.
•
Remove the outer flange.
•
Clean the flanges and blade shaft and inspect for wear.
•
Mount the blade on arbor ensuring that direction of rotation is correct. Wrong direction of rotation
blunts the blade quickly.
•
Replace outer blade flange.
•
Tighten hexagonal nut with spanner supplied for this purpose.
•
Remount the removable blade guard and tighten the three wing nuts.
The blade bore must correspond exactly to the diameter of the blade shaft. Cracked or damaged
bore is dangerous for the operator and for the machine.
3.2 Feet and conveyor cart assembly
Feet and conveyor cart are located in the water pan. Place the four feet in the four openings on
each corner of the frame. Tighten the four wing screws.
Place the conveyor cart on the guiding rails with the material stop facing the operator.
3.3 Electrical connections
Check that,
•
the voltage/phase supply corresponds to the information indicated on the motor plate.
•
Available power supply must have ground connection in conformity with safety regulations.
•
The connecting cables should have at least a 2.5mm
3.4 Starting the machine
Open the cover on the switch and press the green button to start the machine. Either press on the
red button or directly on the switch cover to stop the machine.
3.5 Water cooling system
Fill the water pan with clean water to approximately 2cm from top (ensure that bottom of pump is
fully immersed in water). Use the pump switch on the side of the main switch to start the pump.
Open the water-tap on blade guard (note that handle on water-tap should be in line with water-flow).
Ensure that water is flowing freely in the circuit and is delivered adequately to both sides of the
2
-section per phase.
