1. DESIGN STANDARDS
MASONRY 350 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); the MASONRY 350 saw
noise emission level during cutting is 93 dB(A) with continuous rim
blade.
3. CUTTING SPECIFICATIONS
This saw model has been specially designed by IMER for cutting
stone, ceramics, marble, granite, concrete and similar materials.
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
- max. cutting capacity with vertical blade - 120 mm
- max. cutting capacity with blade at 45° - 70 mm
- min. dimensions of workpiece - min. width 50 mm
- max. dimensions of workpiece
Vertical blade lowered:
wxhxl
= 500 x 25 x 480
= 500 x 60 x 450
= 500 x 120 x 400
Vertical blade raised , cutting with blade lowered from above:
wxhxl
= 500 x 120 x 450
Blade at 45°:
wxhxl
= 500 x 30 x 480
5. WARNING
- Do not load the saw with workpieces that exceed the specified
weight (max. 40 kg)
- Ensure stability of machine and workpiece before, during or after
cutting. Install supplementary support surfaces at the same height
as the worktable.
- Respect the environment; use suitable receptacles for collection
of cooling water contaminated with cutting dust.
6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMER saws are designed for work on construction sites and under
conditions of natural light and in workshops under conditions of
natural or artificial lighting of minimum 500 LUX.
The machine must never be used in environments
subject to risks of explosion and/or underground sites.
- 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
disconnected from the power supply and is completely immobile
during repairs and maintenance operations.
- Connect the machine to a suitable equipotential
earthing plant on the construction site with wire braid of
minimum 16 mm² section. The connection point is
identified by a screw welded to the frame (see Fig.1),
and on the rating plate by the earthing symbol.
- Stop the saw only by means of the main switch.
- The symbol shown on the label (see left) indicates
the warning ENSURE ALL PROTECTION DEVICES
ARE INSTALLED AND IN PERFECT CONDITION
BEFORE SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE
7. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
IMER saws comply with EN 60204-1; and are fitted with:
- protection device against automatic re-start after power failure.
- Short-circuit cutout device
- Motor overload cutout switch
8. TRANSPORTATION (Ref. Fig.2)
WARNING! Always remove the plug from the power
socket before moving the saw, and lock head support carriage
movement by means of the relative knob (ref. 3). To transport
the machine use slinging equipment with 4 rope legs, fixing
the hooks to the relative attachments.
9. INSTALLATION (Ref. Fig.2)
Fix the hooks to the relative attachments on the machine and lift
the machine out of its package.
- Unlock the legs by sliding out split pins (ref.2) and pins (ref.1).
- Lock the legs at working height. Refit the pins in the leg supports
and insert the split pins.
- Install the machine on a completely even and stable surface.
10. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
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 - 110V/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
