Operating & Safety Guide 735
Now,
locate the disc on the back flange plate,
making sure that both the diameter and the arbor (centre
Hole) are the correct size for the machine.
If fitting a diamond disc, ensure the direction arrow on the
disc corresponds with the direction arrow on the guard.
Finally, replace the outer flange followed by the
lock bolt and secure the disc in place by tightening
the lock bolt
(see illustration).
Then slide the blade
cover down.
Take care not to over-tighten, then check that the
new disc rotates freely and does not foul the
guard, before use.
Fit the drain plug to the water tray, ensuring it is
secure, then fill the tray with clean fresh water 1in
from the top.
During use you must ensure the pump is
fully immersed in silt free water.
Plug the unit into its power supply and switch the
supply ON.
Two types of cutting action are available, the first
is a chopping action
where the cutting head is
lowered onto the item to be cut.
When using the chopping action, the max depth
of cut must be set to ensure the tray is not
damaged by the disc.
To set this, lower the cutting
head until the discs cutting edge is 3mm below the top
level of the sliding tray. Lock the head in this position
with the head lock bar. Next loosen the depth set bolt
(below the head lock bar), slide it upwards as far as it can
go and re secure. All that remains is to loosen the head
lock bar to free the cutting head.
When using abrasive discs the setting will need adjusting
as the disc wears down.
The second is with the cutting head locked in a
lowered positioned, and must only be used with
wet cut diamond discs. Under no circumstances
must dry diamond discs or wet or dry abrasive
discs be used.
Used for repetitive cuts, either fully
through the item or where necessary, a partial cut.
If you wish to lock the cutting head, lower it into the
required position and lock with the head lock bar. If the
cut requires excessive pressure, make 2 or 3 shallow cuts.
Place the item to be cut on to the sliding tray,
there is a cutting guide set in millimetres on the
front.
If making a mitre cut, set the mitre guide to the
required angle.
Open the water cock, situated at the back of the
guard (see illustration). Switch the unit ON, wait
for the disc to reach operating speed, then check
that water is being fed to each side of the disc.
Next,
grip the item being cut and adopt a
comfortable, stable stance
that lets you see what you
are doing while keeping your hands away from the disc.
BASIC TECHNIQUES
Move the material along the cut in a straight line,
never twist the material or apply sideways
pressure –
the disc could break up and cause damage
or serious personal injury.
Apply just enough pressure to ensure reasonable
progress.
Too much pressure will damage the disc, the
workpiece, and the machine’s motor.
After the cut is complete switch the unit OFF
and
wait for the disc to stop.
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits.
If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease and speed, assume you have the wrong tool for the
job. Contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Keep the equipment clean –
you will find this less of a
chore if you clean regularly, rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
Regularly change the water in the tray and wash out any
silt before replacing.
Regularly check that the disc and safety guards
have not vibrated loose, if either have STOP and
contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe
from thieves.
Protect this unit
from frost and freezing temperatures.
Having lifted the disc clear of the workpiece,
switch the unit OFF
and wait for the disc to stop
before removing the workpiece.
Unplug the unit, remove the disc, abrasive discs
should be disposed of, NEVER re-use a used disc!
Empty the water tray and remove any silt.
Finally, neatly coil the power supply cable and give
the unit a final clean up ready for return, to your
local HSS Hire Shop.
