Working Advice
Exercise caution when cutting slots in structuralwalls.
Slots in structural walls are subject to the country-specific
regulations. These regulations are to be observed under all
circumstances.Before beginning work, consult the responsible
structural engineer, architect or the constructionsupervisor.
Cutting Stone
The machine shall be used only for drycutting.
For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond cutting disc.
Operate the machine only with additional dust protectionmask.
Cutting Metal
For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use the
guardtype1.
When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to the
material being cut. Do not exert pressure onto the cutting disc,
tilt or oscillate themachine.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by
applying sidewardpressure.
The machine must always work in an upgrinding motion.
Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled
out of thecut.
When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best to start at the
smallest crosssection.
To avoid build-up of metal swarf inside the machine, we
recommend to clear the ventilation slots on a daily basis. Refer
toMaintenance.
Rough Grinding
Never use a cutting disc forroughing.
Always use the guard type27.
The best roughing results are achieved when setting the
machine at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the machine back and
forth with moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece
will not become too hot, does not discolour and no grooves
areformed.
