5.2.3 Cutting thicker material
You can cut thicker material by reversing the material on the cart. In order to raise the head to pass
the material under it, you have to turn the upper head stop from position 1 to position 2 as shown on
the picture 5. You can then cut up to 220mm thick material. When you want to cut again under
110mm, turn the stop from position 2 to position 1.

5.2.4 General advice for the cutting
•
Material weighting under 30 kg and having dimensions smaller than 500x500x220mm for the
CHW500 and 600x500x220mm for the CHW600 can be cut with the machine.

Before commencing work make sure tools are firmly seated!
•
Before using the machine, make sure the two anti-tipping devices are tighten correctly. Loosen
the knob (1 on picture 6), and tighten the anti-tipping device (2) so the sheave (3) leans firmly on
the profile (4).

•
Select the right tools as recommended by the manufacturer depending on the material to be
worked, the working procedure (dry or wet cut) to be carried out and the required efficiency.
•
Apply cooling water continuously whilst cutting and in good time! Make sure the water pan
contains enough water.
•
When dry cutting, ensure sufficient dust extraction and wear a dusk protection mask!
•
When cutting work is finished, close the water-tap so you can remove the cut pieces from the
conveyor cart without getting wet.
•
In case the thermal protection trips, wait until the motor has cooled down before starting the
machine again.
