Starting Instructions
•
Mount a diamond blade. See settings and
adjustment page 10.
•
Connect hoses – clean couplings before connection.
Connect water supply.
•
Set the power source on ”ON”.
•
Open for water supply.
•
Find a good footing for the cutting. See safety
instructions!
•
Activate the safety trigger, press the trigger lever
towards the handle and start the saw.
•
Start by holding the blade towards the material.
When gradually a groove is cut, press the blade
towards the material and cut in lines of 5-7 cm until
you have cut through the material. This is the
quickest way of cutting instead of cutting through in
one attempt.
•
It is important to keep the water supply steady and
sufficient as it cools the blade, removes the slurry
and guarantees you the best result with as little wear
on the blade and rollers as possible.
Stop
•
Remove the blade from the material and let go of the
trigger lever
•
Set the power source on “OFF”
•
Disconnect water supply
Note: For easier cleaning let the blade spin in the air with full
water running for 30 seconds. It will help removing slurry from
blade and rollers. HYCON recommends cleaning each roller for
slurry after usage for longer lifetime and better adjustment of
blade. See separate instruction
.
Use of HRS400 Ring Saw Blades
Sharpening diamond blades
Diamond blades can become dull if you use the wrong feeding
pressure on the blade, wrong blade or cut the wrong material.
If the diamond blade becomes dull it will only produce heat and
can cause overheating to the material or the blade can be out
of round. Sharpen the blade by butting in soft material i.e.
sandstone or bricks.
Vibrations on diamond blades
The blade can become out of round if a too high pressure is
used. A lower feed pressure can stop the vibration. Otherwise
replace the blade. The blade shall be intended for the material
to be cut.
Note: USE only HYCON blades, rollers and drive
wheel or no warranty will be granted in case of failure
to ring saw.
HYCON provides 2 different kinds of blades:
•
Standard blade, diamonds are not positioned
•
Premium blade, diamonds are positioned
•
Both types of blade come in a soft (20), medium (45)
and hard (70) version.
See page 16 for more info regarding HRS ring saw blades.
Note: Drive wheel must be replaced with every new
blade. Guide rollers should be replaced after 10
blades
Service and Maintenance
Note: the chart is based on daily use
Oil Types
The HYCON HRS400 Ring Saw uses standard hydraulic oil,
i.e. all types of mineral oil and biodegradable oil, which comply
with the following values:
Under normal working conditions in a temperature range of
-10° to +40°, a viscosity 46 oil is usually suitable. At
temperatures beyond this range use oil with another viscosity.
Note: If using biodegradable oil, we recommend the use of oil
based on rape. Other types of oil can be aggressive towards
parts of the pump

Note:
Hoses over 30 m will create a very high loss of pressure
resulting in poor performance.
