3 Assembly and commissioning
The machine is delivered fully equipped and assembled (although without diamond blade) and is
ready for operation after connection to the appropriate power supply.
3.1 Tool assembly
Only NORTON blades with a maximum diameter of 650 mm can be used with the Jumbo 651.
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.
To mount a new blade, follow these steps:
•
Retract outside cover of blade guard.
•
Loosen the hexagonal nut on the blade shaft, 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.
•
Shut retractable blade guard cover.
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 Starting the machine
Turn the fuel valve to the ON position. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position.
NOTE: do not use the choke if the engine is
warm or the air temperature is high.
