CUTTING ADVICE
Mark out all the cutting lines on the workpiece using suitable
media – pencil, crayon, chalk etc. All cutting lines should be
clear and readily visible.
• If possible support the workpiece in such a way that it is
possible to predict what will happen, and that the cut will
remain stable and open while cutting.
(FIG. 7)
• Always align the diamond wheel with a pre-marked cutting
line before beginning operations, but ensure that the
diamond wheel is not touching the workpiece.
• Switch the machine ‘ON’ and allow the blade to reach its full
operational speed.
• Gently feed the blade into the workpiece. Cutting
performance is best when you cut straight ahead along the
pre-marked cutting line. Do not cut a depth of greater than
50mm (2”).
(FIG. 8)
If a cut of greater than 50 mm (2”) is
required make several passes.
• Cut smoothly, allowing the machine to work without forcing
the blade.

WARNING:
Do not attempt to cut curved or zig zag lines.
Never use the side of the blade as a cutting surface. Never use
to perform inclination cutting.
• Do not apply water or coolant to the diamond blade.
• Move the blade slowly backwards and forwards and try to
achieve a small contact area between the blade and the
workpiece being cut. This reduces the temperature of the
blade and ensures efficient cutting.
• If the blade seizes or there is any abnormal noise,
immediately turn the power ‘OFF’ and investigate the
cause. Determine the cause of any noise or stoppage. Only
recommence cutting if it is safe to do so.
• Feed the machine down in line with the blade. Sideways
pressure on the blade disc can damage it and can be very
dangerous.
