ASSEMBLY AND COMMISSIONING
The machine is delivered fully equipped and assembled (although without diamond blade) and is
ready for operation after connection to the appropriate power supply.
3.1 Tool assembly
Only NORTON blades with a maximum diameter of 500 mm can be used with the CM501.
All tools used must be selected with regard to their maximum permitted cutting speed for the
machine’s maximum permitted rotation speed.
Before mounting a new blade into the machine, switch off the machine and isolate it from the main
source of electricity.
To mount a new blade, follow these steps:
Open the shaft vent cover on the blade guard.
Loosen the hexagonal nut on the blade shaft, which holds the removable outer flange.
Remove the outer flange.
Clean the flanges and blade shaft and inspect for wear.
Mount the blade on arbor ensuring that direction of rotation is correct. Wrong direction of rotation
blunts the blade quickly.
Replace outer blade flange.
Tighten hexagonal nut with spanner supplied for this purpose.
Shut the vent cover.
The blade bore must correspond exactly to the diameter of the blade shaft. Cracked or damaged
bore is dangerous for the operator and for the machine.
3.2 Water cooling system
Fill the water pan with clean water to approximately 2cm from top (ensure that bottom of pump is
fully immersed in water).
Open water-tap at blade guard (note that handle on water-tap should be in line with water-flow).
Ensure that water is flowing freely in the circuit and is delivered adequately to both sides of the
blade, as insufficient water supply may result in premature failure of the diamond blade.
The water pump must never run without water. Always make sure that there is enough water in the
pan and refill if necessary.
In case of frost, empty the water cooling system from its water.
