5) When unpacking the machine, and also after each use, check for dents or
deformations and broken parts and cords. If any of these are found, do not
use the electric tool and contact the manufacturer immediately.
6) Keep hands away from the cutting area and blade at all times. Keep the
hand that is not being used on the secondary handle. Your hands cannot be
cut by the blade if they are both holding the cutter.
7) Do not place your hand under the piece that is being cut.
8) Always use blades with interior diameters that correspond to the
machine’s shaft. A larger interior diameter would cause the cutter to rotate
eccentrically, leading to a loss of control.
9) Never use plates or anchor screws from damaged or incorrect blades. These
parts were designed specifically for this cutter, to provide better functioning
and safety during operation.
10) Hold the cutter firmly and position your body and arms in such a way that
you can resist the forces of KICKBACK. KICKBACK forces can be controlled
by the operator if the proper precautions are taken.
11) Do not use damaged or dull blades.
12) Use only the recommended blades, suitable for RPMs that are greater
than or equal to the maximum RPM of the machine and with holes for the
proper shaft.
13) Position the blade plates correctly and tighten the screw properly before
starting up the machine.
14)
Check the interior surfaces of the blade anchor plates, as well as the sides of
the blade, in order to avoid any problems.
15) Verify that the blade has no cracks or other damage before operation.
Immediately replace damaged blades. Do a functional test with no load for at
least 30 seconds before using the cutter.
16) Never start the machine with the piece being cut in contact with the blade.
17) Allow the motor to reach its maximum speed before cutting.
18) Important: after completing the cut, release the switch and wait for the blade
to stop completely before setting the cutter down.
19)
Do not use the machine in areas with flammable solids, liquids or gases. The
sparks produced in the brushes could cause a fire or explosion.
20) This machine was designed for specific applications. The manufacturer
certifiably recommends that it not be modified and/or used for applications
other than the ones for which it was designed. If you have any questions
regarding the use of the machine, do not use it until you have consulted the
manufacturer and received the corresponding information.
21) Keep the power cord away from the machine’s cutting zone. Always keep the
power cord away from the machine behind you.
22) Turn off the machine immediately if you notice any unusual vibration or any
other malfunction. Check the machine to determine the cause.
23) Use only the diamond blades recommended by the manufacturer.
24) Pay attention to the dimension of the blades. The centre hole in the blade
must fit on the shaft with no free play. If not, a reducer washer (provided with
the blade) will be needed to ensure proper fit.
25) The dust that is produced when working with this tool may be harmful to
your health. Use an absorption system and wear a suitable dust mask. When
the cutting operation has been completed, clean any deposited dust with a
vacuum cleaner.

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
After unpacking the machine, carefully check for damaged or broken parts.
If you find any damaged or malfunctioning parts, replace them with original
spare parts from the manufacturer and contact RUBI’s after-sales service.
Although the wheels allow one person to transport the machine, it is
recommended that this be done by two people.
The DCX machines come packaged with the support feet properly
positioned for the transport position and with the wheels mounted.
BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE:
1)
Machine assembly and set up (fig. 1, 2).
2)
Once the unit has been stood up, the safety position of the legs must be set.
To do this, lift the indicated lever and rotate the rod to the inside of the hook
(figure 3). Once correctly positioned, tighten the lever to lock and secure the
position. (fig. 4). Check that the system has been securely fastened together.
*Note that the rod can be regulated to adjust and eliminate play between
the rod and the hook.
3) It is advisable to use the machine on flat and level surfaces. Check that it is
properly stabilised on the ground before starting work, so that safe working
conditions are achieved. DCX machines have a levelling foot to facilitate this
task (fig. 5, 6).
4)
The moving head of the machine comes fixed to the guide to avoid possible
movements during transport. Loosen knob B to release the position (fig. 7).
INSTALLING AND REPLACING THE BLADE:
5) To install or replace the blade, the front guard must be removed. The motor
shaft will be visible (fig. 8).
6) Mount the blade between the plates, matching the direction of rotation
indicated on the machine.
7)
Tighten the fastening nut firmly in an anti-clockwise direction (fig.9). The
tools to perform this operation are included.
WATER FEED SYSTEM:
8) The DCX machine has an external water tank which must be positioned at
the bottom as shown in the picture (fig. 10).
9) It is essential to fill the tank with water until the water pump is completely
submerged. The maximum capacity indicated on the tank must not be
exceeded.
10) It is important to replace the water regularly, since using the machine with
clean water prolongs the life of the blade and improves its performance.
COOLING POINT ADJUSTMENT:
11) The DCX machine is equipped with the C3 Python cooling system, which
allows the cooling nozzle to be adjusted in order to set the point of incidence
on the blade (fig. 11).
12) The position of the tube must be adjusted according to the thickness of the
tile to be cut. It can rotate with respect to the rotation axis of the blade.
The optimum position of the nozzle is as shown in the picture (fig. 12), which
ensures a minimum space between the tile and the nozzle so that this does
not rub against it.
ADJUSTING THE ANGLE AND DEPTH OF CUT:
13) The mitre cutting mechanism allows you to adjust the cutter angle from 0
to 45°.
14) For 45º cuts (mitre cuts), there is a mechanical locking system which allows
the head to be positioned with great precision.
15) Turn the cutter head to the desired cutting angle (fig. 13).
Once the cutting angle has been set, lock the system again to immobilise
the cutting position.
NOTE: For a square cut, turn the cutter head to the 0° position, so that the
blade is perpendicular to the piece being cut.
16) The cutting head has a plunge effect function, which allows the height
adjustment of the cutting blade. The backward movement is performed
by a set of springs which, in turn, compensate for the weight of the engine,
improving the ergonomics for the user (fig. 14).
17)
To lock the desired cutting depth, tighten lever A as shown in the picture
(fig. 15).
PRELIMINARY CHECKS:
18) Before using the machine, check for any worn, damaged or broken parts and
immediately repair or replace any that are found.
19) Level the machine.
20) Check that the machine stops are perpendicular to the blade. These are set
at the factory (fig. 16).
21)
Check that the mains voltage and frequency correspond to that indicated
