This cutting machine has been designed to use either segmented or continuous rim diamond blades with either Ø300
or Ø350 mm. Depending on the materials to cut the choice of the right blade will help to increase their endurance and
performance while obtaining a better cutting.

minute of the machine motor.
The cutting blade is one of the key elements in a cutting machine. A blade in good conditions is Paramount to achieve
an optimal performance from the machine. It will need to be substituted when it goes worn, twisted or cracked.
Do not use any type of blade other than the ones specified in this manual, and make sure that it has the required
features related to maximum diameter, bore diameter and maximun speed (t.p.m.)
Please bear in mind that there are different types diamond blades that must be used depending the material that
needs cutting. Always choose the one that suits better to that material.
CARAT always recommends to use original CARAT blades that comply with the norms in their technical and safety

8.1 MOUNTING OR REPLACING A BLADE.

To mount or replace a blade, please follow the instructions below:
 Check that the electric supply cable is not plugged in the machine.
 Remove the blade guard (P, Fig.3) from the machine cutting head by loosening the locking nuts (A, Fig.3)
 Insert the hexagonal spanner (E Fig. 3) in the nut (D Fig. 3). Block the blade shaft from turning by
inserting the straight key in the housing at its end (C, Fig.3), loosen up the nut in the shaft and remove the
outer flange (F, Fig.3). WARNING: the nut turns clockwise to loosen up.
 Place the blade on the motor shaft making sure that it is well centered and perfectly inserted to the end of
the shaft. Once more, make sure that the blade will turn on the right direction. The arrow embossed on the
blade must coincide the direction of the arrow engraved on the blade guard. Then, put the external flange
back into place and tighten up the shaft nut using the same keys again.
 Check the perfect coupling of the blade and flanges before completely tightening the nut up.
 Replace the blade guard in its right position and tighten up the nuts to fix it to the cutting head.
 To remove the blade, proceed all the way around.
WARNING: make sure that all the tools used to set the machine up have been duly removed from
the working area before connecting the machine, checking that all the machine parts have been
placed in the right position.
Now, you can plug the machine to the power supply.
