Diamond wires
3.1
IMPORTANT
■
Only rubber or plastic coated diamond wires with
springs between the diamond beads may be used
with the DS WS 15 electric wire saw. The wire must
be guaranteed by the manufacturer to be suitable
for cutting at a speed of at least 30 m/s and it must
fit in the grooves in the guide pulleys.
■
Coupling together lengths of wire of different dia -
meters and the use of wires that are not round,
wires with loose cutting beads or wires with dam-
aged cores is not permissible.
■
Connection of the wire itself and the repair of bro-
ken wires must be carried out in accordance with
the instructions provided by the supplier of the wire.
■
Hilti diamond wires of the standard 11 mm diame-
ter are available in fixed lengths of 10 m, 14 m,
18 m, 22 m, 26 m and 30 m (other lengths and oth-
er diameters on request). They are supplied with
factory-fitted quick-release connectors. Various wire
lengths can be joined together, but only if the dia-
mond beads are of the same diameter.
■
Diamond wires with a diameter of 9 mm can be used
in conjunction with the pulleys for the standard
11 mm diameter. Wires of less than 8 mm diame-
ter or greater than 13 mm diameter require pulleys
with other groove widths or depths.
■
If diamond wires without factory-fitted connectors
are used, the connectors must be fitted in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Accessories for connecting wires
The durability of the wire connection and its efficiency
when sawing depends essentially on use of the optimum
wire connectors and ensuring that they are fitted cor-
rectly.
