WORKING IN SAFETY
To work in complete safety, read the following instructions
carefully.
- This OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE manual must be kept
on site by the person in charge, e.g. the SITE FOREMAN, and
must always be available for consultation.
- The manual is to be considered integral part of the machine and
must be kept for future reference (EN 292/2) until the machine is
disposed of. If the manual is damaged or lost, a replacement may
be requested from the saw manufacturer.
- The manual contains important information regarding site
preparation, machine use, maintenance procedures, and requests
for spare parts. Nevertheless, the installer and the operator must
both have adequate experience and knowledge of the machine
prior to use.
- To guarantee complete safety of the operator, safe operation
and long life of equipment, follow the instructions in this manual
carefully, and observe all safety standards currently in force for
the prevention of accidents at work (use of safety footwear and
gloves in accordance with S.I. N°3073 of 30/11/92).
Safety glasses or a protective visor must be worn at
all times.
MAKE SURE THAT SIGNS ARE LEGIBLE.
It is strictly forbidden to carry out any form of

machine.
ENSURE ALL PROTECTION DEVICES ARE
INSTALLED AND IN PERFECT CONDITION BEFORE SWITCHING
ON THE MACHINE.
- IMER INTERNATIONAL declines all responsibility for non-
compliance with laws and standards governing the use of this
equipment, in particular; improper use, defective power supply,
lack of maintenance, unauthorised modifications, and partial or
total failure to observe the instructions contained in this manual.
1. DESIGN STANDARDS
EASY 180 saws are designed and manufactured according to the
following standards: I.E.C. 34.4; EN 392 (91/368 CEE); CEI EN60204.
2. NOISE EMISSION LEVEL
Operator exposure to sound emission levels (continuous sound
pressure levels equal to A weighting) saw noise emission level
during cutting is 93 dB(A) with continuous rim blade.
3. CUTTING SPECIFICATIONS
This IMER saw model has been specially designed to cut exclu-
sively tile and other covering materials and must not be used to
cut other types of material.
Cutting blades must always be water-cooled; the water tank
must be filled to at least 1 cm from the rim.
Only water-cooled diamond blades with continuous or segmented
edges must be used. Under no circumstances must dry cutting
blades be used or materials other than those specified above.
IMER INTERNATIONAL declines all responsibility for damage
caused by improper use of the above machine
4. CUTTING CAPACITY
Maximum workpiece dimensions:
500 mm x 500 mm x 32 mm
compatible with limits of rated load capacity (10 kg).
5. WARNINGS
- Do not load the saw with workpieces that exceed 10 kg.
- Ensure stability of machine and workpiece before, during or after
cutting.
- Respect the environment; use suitable receptacles for collection
of cooling water contaminated with cutting dust.
- Use safety gloves and sturdy non-slip footwear at all times. Gather
long hair in a suitable hairnet. Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery
etc. that can get trapped in the cutting blade. If working on metal
floors, wear insulated shoes.
- Wear safety goggles. In the case of excessively dusty materials,
use suitably protective masks. In the case of particularly noisy
cutting operations, use ear plugs or other suitable protectors.
- Keep children away from the equipment, cables and the
workplace.
- Prevent the penetration of rain or water jets in the machine interior.
Ensure adequate lighting. Do not use the machine the vicinity of
flammable gases or liquids.
The machine must never be used in environments
subject to the risk of explosion and/or in underground sites.
6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- IMER saws may only be used when fitted with all required safety
devices which must be in perfect condition.
-
Never use makeshift and/or faulty power cables.
-
Make electrical connections on the construction site where they
will not be subject to damage. Never stand the saw on power
supply cables.
-
Lay power cables where they are not subject to risk of damage
or contact of connectors with water. Only use connectors fitted with
water-spray protection (IP55).
-
Repairs to electrical installations must only be carried out by
qualified technicians. Always ensure that the machine is discon-
nected from the power supply and is completely immobile during
repairs and maintenance operations.
Stop the saw only by means of the main switch and
remove the plug to disconnect from the power supply.
- Select an installation site that guarantees freedom of movement
and safe operation at all times.
- Place the machine on a table to prevent falling workpieces or
other objects coming into contact with the operator's feet.
- Keep the workplace tidy to avoid the risk of accidents.
7. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
IMER saws comply with D.P.R. 547/55; EN 60204-1; and are fitted
with:
- protection device against automatic re-start after power failure.
- Motor overload cutout switch; in the event of overload, a fuse
interrupts the circuit. In this case replace the motor.
Connect the machine to a suitable equipotential
earthing plant.
8. TRANSPORTATION
The machine is fitted with a handle to enable handling.
WARNING! Always the remove the plug from the
power socket before moving the saw.
Never pull on the power cable to disconnect the plug.
9. INSTALLATION
The machine can be used in a fixed position on a flat and horizon-
tal surface; use the pre-drilled holes in the machine base to anchor
the machine when required.
Protect the cable from sharp edges. For safety reasons, use
exclusively the accessories and equipment supplied with the
machine.
10. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The 230V/50Hz power supply socket must be connected to an
efficient earthing system.
Ensure that there is an overload cutout device fitted
up-line on the power line. If necessary, install an IMER quick
connect residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) (code no.
1169245 available in kit form).
Ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to that specified for
the machine:
230V/50Hz.
All power supply installations must comply with CEI
64-8 standards (harmonised document CENELEC HD384).
The electrical power cable must be suitably sized to avoid voltage
drops. Cable drums (with collector rings) must not be used.
Cable dimensions will vary according to the start-up current
and length of cable. In general cable sizes of 3x4 mm² are
sufficient for lengths up to 50 metres. After installation always
carry out voltage testing under load conditions, both at start-
up and during operation. During operation, voltage drops must
never exceed 5%. In the case of longer cables or a power
supply network subject to variations, use cables with a section
