4.3 Storing of the machine
If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, please take the following measures:
•
Completely clean the machine.
•
Empty the water cooling system.
•
Take the water pump out of the slurry and clean it thoroughly.
The storage site must be clean, dry and at a constant temperature.
5 OPERATING THE MACHINE
Please find in this chapter advices to use the machine safely and correctly.
5.1 Installation
5.1.1 Information concerning the working site
•
Remove from the site anything, which might hinder the working procedure.
•
Make sure the site is sufficiently well lit.
•
Observe manufacturer's conditions for connecting to power supplies.
•
Place electric cables in such a way that damage is excluded.
•
Make sure you have a continual adequate view of the working area so you can intervene in the working process at any time.
•
Keep other staff out of the area, so you can work safely.
•
Set the machine on the flat and stable ground.
5.1.2 Space required for operation and maintenance
In order to use and maintain the machine safely and correctly, leave 2 m in front and 1, 5 m around of the machine.
5.2 Cutting methods
To use the machine correctly, you must face it with one hand on the handle of the cutting head, and the other on the conveyor cart.
Always keep your hands away from the moving blade.
To start the machine, open the switch cover and press the green button.
To stop either use the red button or press directly on the switch front cover.
5.2.1 Full depth or fixed cutting
In full depth or fixed cutting, the cutting head is locked in a fixed position and the material is pushed into it as shown.
•
Lower the cutting head to the desired cutting depth (in “through cutting”, lower cutting head until blade periphery reaches max.
3mm under the surface of the conveyor cart) by means of the handle on the blade guard.
•
Fix the position by tightening the locking handle located on the side of the cutting head and set the depth stop screw correctly.
•
Place the material on the conveyor cart and hold it firmly against the stop (and where appropriate against the guide-a-cut).
•
Start the machine
•
Push the conveyor cart slowly and without undue pressure towards the rotating blade and cut the material as shown on the
picture.
Note: While recommended, it is not absolutely necessary to lock the cutting head into a given depth position when jam cutting. The
desired cutting depth can be maintained by holding firmly the depth feed handle on the blade guard. If the full depth of cut requires
excessive pressure (on very dense material e.g.) make 2 or 3 shallow cuts.
