– The RPM shown on the abrasive cutting disc label must be equal to or higher than that
produced by the rail saw.
– Never use the rail saw for grinding operations on the side surface of the disc, as it may break
and cause serious injury.
– The cutting discs must only be used for cutting suitable materials.
– During transportation and storage of the rail saw, always remove the cutting disc and lay
it on a fl at surface in a dry place protected from frost and moisture.
– Always tighten the fi xing screw of the cutting disc with a 20-25 Nm torque, to prevent the
disc from loosening.

Always, use good quality cutting discs with a diameter
of 355 mm (14”) or 406 mm (16”) marked “RAIL” specifi c for
rail cutting.

is switched off !
Never use a cutting discs designed for a lower rpm than
that of the rail saw.

it in the air and gently tap it with a screwdriver or a piece of wood;
an intact disc will produce a low drumming tone.
