•
Ensure that all bystanders are at a safe distance.
•
Ensure that all safety equipment is in place.
Proper Support for the Workpiece
•
Support the workpiece on in such a way that the
kerf will not pinch down on the blade.
•
Secure the workpiece so that it will not roll, slip
away or move due to vibration while cutting
•
The cutting sequence is important when making
cutouts. Always make the last cut in a way that
avoids the blade being pinched. Thus, make the
bottom horizontal cut first, then the sides and
finally make the top horizontal cut last.
•
Make note of the weight of the workpiece and the direction which it will fall when it is cut through.
•
Whenever there is a situation where severing the workpiece will cause a hazardous situation, leave a tab
of material intact and finish off the operation with a chisel or the like.
Cutting Technique
•
Holding the machine with both hands to resist the start up torque, press the release button and then
squeeze the trigger switch.
•
Allow the machine to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece.
•
Adjust the water flow as needed by turning the water feed valve.
•
Then gently begin the cut with the rear portion of the blade until the kerf is established.
•
It's a good idea to pre cut a guiding groove using a conventional circular diamond saw with a wide kerf
blade before proceeding to make the main ccut with the ring saw. This will save wear on the ring saw
blade. Take care to avoid the blade being pinched.
•
In round workpieces, the best technique is to use a slow, uniform back and forth motion while cutting
with the bottom quadrant of the blade.
•
Never side load the blade in the kerf.
Stopping
Release the trigger to stop the machine. After the trigger is released, the blade will continue spinning for a
short time. Once the machine is fully stopped, press the Power button on the power converter to de-energize
the motor.
WARNING: Do not set the machine down until the blade has stopped turning.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
This machine operates in a very harsh environment.
Therefore, it's essential for the long life of the tool that it be thoroughly cleaned after each use.
