INTRODUCTION

This machine is a special, high frequency  PMSM  (permanent magnet synchronous motor) power tool which 
must be used in conjunction with its high frequency power converter for its power supply. This converter 
takes 220 to 480V, 50Hz or 60Hz, single or three phase supply and converts it to up to 600Hz for use with the 
motor. Connection between the converter and motor is made by a motor coupling cable with special plug. 
The converter has a three phase power supply plug and a single phase adaptor plug for use with single phase 
supply. Maximum performance is obtained using 380V to 480V, three phase power supply. Performance will be 
reduced when using 220V to 240V three phase or single phase supply due to electrical current limitations. 

This machine is equipped with two handles and a blade guard. It has an integrated water feed system as 
required for cooling and diamond cutting. The power converter has a built-in residual current device (RCD) 
for electrical safety as well as overload, thermal, under voltage and over voltage protection. It must only be 
used with a diamond blade. It is intended for cutting masonry, stone, concrete, reinforced concrete and similar 
materials. All other uses are prohibited.
