OPERATION

According to standard accident prevention precautions
Wear approved safety clothing in good condition and, in particular, overalls or other comfortable garments, sized
to prevent the risk of entanglement in moving machinery. Wearing anti-slip rubber boots is highly recommended.
The operator is responsible for the correct use, adjustment, cleaning and maintenance of the machine. The
operator should be professionally qualified with specific training or experience in the use of shape-milling
equipment, and capable of recognizing and preventing possible dangerous situations while using the machine.

•
Fasten the slab, the weight of the machine could overturn the slab.

Fasten the appropriate tool to the machine using the wrenches and bolts supplied, by fitting the tool (22.2mm
hole diam.) onto the spindle. Make sure that it firmly contacts the shoulder of the spindle shaft.

Open the water, back valve completely, front valve only slightly to cool the tool, opening too much could stop
the aquaplaning system to work properly and make scratches on the slab. While working the water stream

Start machine and adjust the tool: Rotate the knob in a clockwise direction to raise, and counterclockwise to
lower the tool. ONLY adjust the tool by turning spindle, to avoid damaging the adjusting system.
