3. Functional 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 24
′′
to 48
′′
(600 mm to 1200
mm) in diameter – maximum blade diameter for ini-
tial cut: 32
′′ (
825 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 which have been approved for use at a periph-
eral cutting speed of at least 63 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
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. Always check that the electric supply provided at the
construction site is equipped with an earth/ground
conductor and a ground fault circuit interrupter (PRCD
type A, trigger current max. 30 mA) and that these are
connected.
