saw blade capacity.
8. Before mounting a blade on the saw clean and
inspect the arbor shaft, blade flanges and the
diamond blade for uneven wear or damage. if it
appears to be damaged,
Do not operate the tool.
have it serviced by a qualified service technician.
9. Before each use of the saw, inspect the diamond
blade for hairline fatigue cracks. if such a crack
or flaw is evident, discard the blade.
Using a
damaged blade may cause injury to the operator
or others.
10. Be sure that the blade arbor hole matches the
blade adapter flange supplied with the saw. use
only blade adapter flanges that came on your
saw. never use damaged or worn blade adapter
flanges.
11.
Installing the blade
, install the blade with the
arrow pointing the same direction as the rotation
of the arbor shaft or the arrow on the blade guard.
Be sure to tighten the blade shaft arbor nut with the
wrench provided.
Be careful not to over tighten.
12. check that the blade tracks near the center of the
channel in the main table, and that the table moves
freely from front to back.
13. Sometimes the material being cut is not abrasive
enough to expose new diamonds on the blade.
if the blade is not sharpened, it will rub against
the surface resulting in heat build up in the core.
to prevent this, it is necessary to dress the
blade. to dress the blade simply cut something
that is very abrasive such as a piece of cement
block. indications that the blade needs dressing
includes:
• the diamond in the matrix appear shiny
because they are worn flat.
• the blade stops cutting or noticeably slows
down.
Blade dressing stones are available from your local TYROLIT
distributor.
14. Before using the saw fill the water tub enough to
submerge the water pump with clean water only.
replenish as necessary and clean the water tub
frequently. do not operate a wet cutting blade
without adequate water flow to both sides of the
blade. never run the pump dry.
15. when cutting, always hold the material firmly lying
flat, supported by the main table with one edge
resting against the main table backstop.
• do not attempt to cut pieces too small to
safely hold down on the main table.
• never use the side of the blade to cut or grind
with, only cut in a straight line.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the
blade and all other moving parts.
• never touch or try to stop a moving blade with
your hand.
16. when cutting dry - always unplug the water pump
first.
Never run the pump dry.
• do not use a wet cutting blade for dry cutting.
Select the proper dry cutting blade for your
application.
• never make long continuous cuts with dry
cutting blades. to avoid heat build up, allow
the blade to cool, remove the tile and allow
the blade to run freely for a few minutes.
17. Make certain all adjusting knobs or locks are tight
and engaged in their detents and that movable
parts not intended to move during operation are
securely locked before making a cut.
Be careful
not to over tighten.
18. Before connecting the machine to a power source
check to see that the “on/off” switch is in the “off”
position.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting anything
before connecting to a power source and
starting the motor.
• Know how to stop the machine quickly in case
of an emergency.
Not dressing the blade frequently or
setting the blade too high will cause it to grab the tile
possibly causing injury to the operator and the saw.
WARNING!
IMPORTANT - If there is any tendency for the
saw to move during certain operations, such as
when cutting large heavy tile; the saw must be
securely fastened to a supporting table.
