2. Description
Use of the equipment as intended
1. The DS TS20-E is an electrically-powered, rail-guid-
ed wall saw designed for cutting lightly to heavily-rein-
forced concrete, stone or masonry structures with
diamond saw blades of 600 mm, 800 mm, 900 mm,
1000 mm,
1200 mm or 1600 mm in diameter (max-
imum blade diameter for initial cut: 800 mm).
2. All functions of the machine are controlled by an elec-
tric remote control unit. The speed of rotation of the
saw blade can be controlled smoothly and steplessly
between 0 and maximum speed.
3. The saw blade drive motor provides a constant pow-
er output. Saw advance can be controlled manually
and/or automatically. Thanks to load-dependent advance
control, the saw is very easy to operate. The saw oper-
ates virtually fully automatically at the maximum pow-
er set on the control unit.
4. Best sawing performance is achieved when the
DS TS20-E is used with the specially-matched Hilti
DS-B wall saw blades. Use only diamond wall saw
blades that comply with the EN 13236 standard and
which have been approved for use at a peripheral cut-
ting speed of at least 63 m/s. Wall saw blades in dia-
meters between 1200 mm and 1600 mm must be
approved for a peripheral cutting speed of at least 80
m/s.
5. Use only anchors of adequate size and load capacity
to secure the machine to the object to be cut.
6. Do not cut materials that may release hazardous or
explosive dust or vapors during the cutting process.
Do not cut inflammable materials.
7. Overhead sawing is possible when additional pre-
cautionary measures are taken. For this application,
the blade guard must be equipped with a means of
2.1
water drainage. Care must be taken to ensure that no
persons are present beneath the equipment when saw-
ing overhead. Please consult your Hilti representati-
ve for further information and advice.
8. Use only genuine Hilti accessories (available as options)
for angled or stepped cuts or for flush cutting.
9. Check that the electric supply provided at the con-
struction site, no matter whether mains or generator
power, is always equipped with an earth/ground con-
ductor and a ground fault circuit interrupter (PRCD
type A, trigger current max. 30 mA) and that these are
connected. If suspected that the electric supply is not
earthed/grounded, the power unit must be earthed/
grounded by way of the earth/ground terminal provided.
