7.
Place the material to be cut on the saw table and line it up properly with the
diamond blade. Slide the material lightly into the blade until a groove forms; then
firmly push the material slowly through the blade. Remember, the saw will only
cut in a straight line. Do not attempt to cut curves. The diamond blade works
best when material is pushed firmly against it. However, NEVER force a
diamond blade.
8.
Material to be cut should never be more than 2/3 the size of the visible cutting
area of the blade. Do not attempt to cut soft material such as wood with a
diamond blade; do not cut any material with hardness less than a common
building brick. The diamond saw blade will actually cut hard materials much
easier than soft materials as soft materials tend to clog up the microscopic
diamond particles.
9.
When working with several pieces of material, be sure to replenish the water as
needed to prevent cutting dry.
10.
As you near the end of the cut, reduce pressure on the material. This will avoid a
sudden "break-through" and give a cleaner cut.
11.
When work is completed, turn off switch and unplug Trim Saw. Drain water
from sump, drying machine and blade with paper towels or an old cloth. Briefly
turn on Trim Saw to spin dry the blade thoroughly.
MAINTENANCE
•
Be sure to dry saw and blade after each use to prevent rust to the blade.
•
If the saw is stored with water in the sump, (not recommended!) be sure to lower
the water level so that it is below the blade. Otherwise, the blade will rust.
•
The saw arbor and the shaft it fits on are made from different materials; and over
time they can galvanize together making it impossible to remove the arbor. Every
2 months or so, remove the arbor using the allen wrench, turning counter
clockwise. Place a few drops of oil on the shaft, rubbing to coat the shaft lightly.
Then replace the arbor using the allen wrench to tighten.
•
Important: Take care not to get any oil or water down the shaft and into the
motor, as this will cause the motor to burn out.
•
Do not pour the used water down the drain as it can harden like cement, closing
up the drain.
