5.2.2 Cutting the floor
You can now start the engine.
To make your cut,
Lower the pivoting frame until the blade slightly touches the floor. Then set the depth gauge to 0.
Open water valve to control the amount of water required for the type of blade, using 15 to
25l/min for wet and 1-2l/min for dry cutting, dust control. Check for minimum water level
regularly.
Set the rotation of the blade with the throttle lever (17). You can check the speed on the meter
(24).
Lower blade into the cut. Once the required depth of cut is reached, you can release the parking
brake, engage the clutch and use the back and forward handle to regulate speed. Always cut
with the machine moving forward, as cutting backwards will damage the blade and the blade
shaft. Follow the line with the pointer. The feed speed must be adjusted depending on the
material being cut, and depth of cut.
At the end of the cut, raise the blade out of the cut, switch off the engine and shut-off the water.
5.2.3 Locking of the cutting depth
If you have to make several cuts at the same depth, you can lock the maximum depth your machine
will lower to. When you reach the depth for the first time, tighten the locking screw (14) until you
reach the stop.
5.2.4 Setting of the direction
Because of the rotation of the blade, the floor saw cannot cut straight in normal operation.
Therefore, you have to adjust the direction using the screw (30 below):
If you turn the screw clockwise, the floor will turn right
If you turn the screw anti-clockwise, the floor will turn left
