3 ASSEMBLY AND COMMISSIONING
The machine is delivered fully equipped (although without diamond blade). It is ready for operation
when you mount the diamond blade, the handles and the conveyor cart and after you connect to the
appropriate power supply.
3.1 Tool assembly
Only NORTON blades with a maximum diameter of 400 mm can be used with the CM 42.
All tools used must be selected with regard to their maximum permitted cutting speed for the
machine’s maximum permitted rotation speed. Before mounting a new blade into the machine,
switch off the machine and isolate it from the main source of electricity.
To mount a new blade, follow these steps:

Loosen the screw in front of the blade guard and disconnect the water hose on its the left side
and open it.

Loosen the hexagonal nut on the blade shaft ( attention: left threaded), which holds the
removable outer flange, with the supplied wrench.

Remove the outer flange.

Clean the flanges and blade shaft and inspect for wear.

Mount the blade on arbour ensuring that direction of rotation is correct. Wrong direction of
rotation blunts the blade quickly.

Replace outer blade flange.

Tighten the hexagonal ( attention: left threaded), nut with the supplied wrench.

Close the blade guard, retighten the screw on the front of the blade guard and reconnect the
water hose.
ATTENTION: The blade bore must correspond exactly to the diameter of the blade shaft. Cracked
or damaged bore is dangerous for the operator and for the machine.
3.2 Implementation of elements
The machine is delivered with its transportation handles disassembled. You have to mount these
handles thanks to the 4 supplied M10x25 crews.
The cutting head is locked in low-position by a hexagonal nut. Replace it by the supplied tension
lever.
On the left side of the machine, feet are locked in their folded position by nuts. Replace them by the
supplied tension levers then unfold the feet and lock them with the tension levers.
