Assembly and commissioning
Before beginning the work with the CK31, you have to assemble some parts.
3.1 Tool assembly
Only use NORTON blades with the CK31.
A blade with a maximum diameter of 700 mm can be fitted. All tools used must be selected with
regard to their maximum perm
itted cutting speed for the machine’s maximum permitted rotation
speed.
Before mounting a new blade, switch the machine off.
To assemble a new blade, follow these steps:

Take the water nozzle off the blade guard.

Release the locking handle (25).

Take the blade guard (5) off the machine.

Untighten the hexagonal screw on the blade shaft with the 19mm wrench. (CAUTION: on the
right hand side of the machine, the screw is left-threaded, and the left hand side of the machine,
the screw is right-threaded.)

Remove the outer flange.

Clean the flanges and blade shaft and inspect for wear.

Mount the blade on the shaft ensuring that direction of rotation is correct. Wrong direction of
rotation blunts the blade quickly.

Replace outer blade flange.

Tighten screw with 19mm wrench.

Reassemble the blade guard and make sure it is securely tighten with the handle (25).

Reconnect water nozzle.
The blade bore must correspond exactly to the blade shaft. Cracked or damaged bore is dangerous
for the operator and for the machine.
3.2 Left or right cut

Take the water nozzle off the blade guard.

Release the locking handle (25).

Take the blade guard (5) off the machine.

Disassemble the flange cover from the other side of the machine, and reassemble on the side
you used to have the blade guard.

Assemble the blade as described in 3.1. on the side where you used to have your flange cover.

Reassemble the blade guard making sure that the handle (25) is securely locked.
3.3 Water cooling system
Open water-tap (note that handle on water-tap should be in line with water-flow).
Ensure that water is flowing freely in the circuit and delivered adequately to both sides of the blade,
as insufficient water supply may result in premature failure of the diamond blade.
In case of frost, empty the water cooling system.
