9. TRANSPORTATION

- WARNING!

Before moving the saw, lock head

support carriage movement by means of the relative knob
(Ref. 11, fig. 1).
The saw weights 117 lb and can be moved by means of the
side handles on the tank.

Always empty the tank before moving the machine.

10. INSTALLATION

The machine must be placed on a smooth surface that is at least
as large as the tank, with the saw on the relative stand (Ref. 11,

fig. 1).The correct side for the operator is as shown in Fig.1
position X.

- Ensure that the stand is positioned on the relative

inserts on the tank base and thus secured.

- Always remove the plug from the mains power before

moving the machine.

11. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Connect the mains power cable to the plug on the electrical
panel.

- Ensure that the electric line has a suitable

differential overload switch(RCD)(GFCI-USA).

THERMAL CUTOUT PROTECTION:

- The electric motor is protected against overload by

a thermal cutout; in the event of overheating this device
shuts down the motor.
Cool the motor and restart by means of the RCCB
switch and the main switch on the handle .
The machine is protected against short circuits by a
magnetic protection inside the RCCB.

-Ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to that specified
for the machine: 115/60Hz. The electrical power cable must be
suitably sized to avoid voltage drops. Cable drums must not be
used.
Cables used on construction sites must be fitted with suitable
external sheathing that is resistant to wear, crushing and
extreme weather conditions (for example H07RN-F).

- All power supply installations must comply with

CEI 64-8 standards (harmonised document CENELEC
HD384).

12. MACHINE START-UP

Before connecting the machine to the power supply:
1 - Ensure that the tank contains sufficient cooling water.
2-Connect the power supply cable to the electric panel plug.
3-Turn on the concrete mixer using the switch located on the
electric control panel (ref. 7, fig. 1) comprising two buttons: the
green one switches on the machine, while the red one switches
it off. The switch has minimum voltage protection: after a power
failure or accidental power loss, push the green start button to
start the machine up again.
4 - Check that the direction of blade rotation corresponds to that
indicated by the arrow on the blade guard.
Open the valve and ensure sufficient flow of cooling water to

the diamond blade.

5 - Never dry cut material or cut when cooling water levels
are low.
6 - If all is in order, proceed with cutting.

13. EMERGENCY STOP

- In case of an emergency, stop the machine by

pressing the red stop button (extended), then disconnect
the plug from the power supply socket.

- The motor is protected against automatic re-start

after interruptions due to power failure. To resume
operation, when power is re-connected, press the green
switch on the overload cutout device.

14. BLADE INSTALLATION
Always remove the plug from the mains power.

- Note that the blade must have an external diameter of

10"in., a central hole diameter of 5/8"in. and max. thickness
of 1\8in.

The diamond blade is made of material that may be damaged
when subject to high temperatures, and therefore must be
cooled during the work phases.

To replace the blade, proceed as follows:

1.Block axial movement of the cutting head by means of the
handwheels (ref.11 fig. 1).

2.Stop the blade rotation fitting the shaft blocking pin (ref. 1 fig.

5) in the hole of the belt cover (ref. 2 fig. 5) rotating the blade
till the pin has entered the hole in the shaft.
Verify that the blade doesn t turn, otherwise repeat the
operation again.

3. Disassemble the front guard.

4. Loosen the locknut by rotating clockwise (left thread),
using a 19 mm wrench.

5. Move the cutting head forward slightly and incline to
remove the blade from its seat.

6. Ensure that there are no foreign objects between the
fixing flange and diamond blade. During disassembly, avoid
use of tools that could dent or deform the flange.

7. Insert the new blade proceeding in reverse order of the
operation described at point 4. Take special care to ensure
correct direction of rotation of the diamond blade.

8. Tighten the blade locknut fully down by rotating
anticlockwise (left thread), to a torque of 40 Nm.

9.Take the shaft blocking pin off the belt cover.

10.Verify the blade turn freely.

11.Connect the plug again.

- Check that the blade to be used is

suitable for the material to be cut.

- Do not use blades for wood! (fig. 6).

15. USE

- Leave a space of 5 ft. around the machine to operate

in full safety.

- Do not allow other persons to approach the machine during cutting.

- Never use the machine in fire-risk areas. Sparks can cause fire or
explosions.

- Make sure that the machine is switched off before positioning or
handling.

- Always ensure that the blade is free of any contact before start­up.

- Ensure correct installation of all protective devices.

Before starting work, fill the water tank. Top up during operation
whenever necessary: N.B. the pump suction hose must
always remain immersed in water.

- Insert the plug in the power socket.

- WARNING!

For safety purposes the removal of

protective guards from the machine is strictly prohibited

- WARNING! Always switch off the machine before

carrying out blade adjustment.

15.1 VERTICAL BLADE MOVEMENT

To raise or lower the blade, slacken the support locking handle
turning it anti-clockwise (Ref. 11, fig. 1). The blade support (Ref. 4,
fig.1) remains free to rotate, so it can be secured in the desired
position, fully tightening the handle (ref. 11, fig. 1).

- Ensure that the locking handle is tightened fully before

starting work.

15.2 BLADE POSITIONING FOR 45° CUTS

To make a cut at 45°, the 45° support on the carriage is necessary.
Once the workpiece is correctly positioned, cutting can begin, starting
the electric motor.

15.3 CUTTING

- Check that the blade is aligned with the cutting line.

- Place the workpiece on the worktable (ref. 8, fig. 1), resting firmly
against the stop. Start the motor.

Wait until the water reaches the blade. Begin cutting.

- Horizontal cutting movement is carried out by pulling the carriage
towards the blade.

- As cutting thickness increases, the blade is subjected

to greater stress. To avoid overloading the motor, the
operator should continually check blade feed speed. The
speed will also depend on the characteristics of the
material being cut (hardness, toughness etc.).

15.3.1 CUTS WITH BLADE LOWERED FROM ABOVE

Bring the blade support to its highest position and lock. Position the
workpiece. Start the machine, unlock the blade support and begin
vertical cutting until the blade reaches its lowest point. Lock the
support once more and proceed with horizontal cutting

15.3.2 BLADE CHANGE

To change the blade refer to section 14.

16. MAINTENANCE

- WARNING! Servicing must always be carried out by

qualified technicians and only after the motor has been
switched off.

- Always keep the guards in proper working order

and free from damage.

- As there is the continuous risk of inadvertent

damage to the electric cables, these must be checked
regularly each time before the machine is used.

Never leave the machine out in the open. Make sure that it is
stored in a sheltered area away from extreme weather
conditions.
Below is a list of the cleaning operations that must be carried out
at the end of every shift.
Recommended product for cleaning and lubricating the
mechanical parts of the saw: WD40

16.1 TANK CLEANING ON WORK COMPLETION

- Empty the tank by removing the plug. Remove cutting residue
using a jet of water.

16.2 WORK SURFACE CLEANING

Always keep work surfaces clean. Residual dirt can impair cutting
precision.

16.3 GUIDE RAIL CLEANING

It is good practice to remove all traces of dirt from the guides.

16.4 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF COOLING
CIRCUIT

- If water does not reach the blade stop the machine immediately
to avoid blade damage.

- After switching off the machine ensure that the water level is
sufficient.
At regular intervals (or when the flow rate of the blade cooling
water is reduced) clean the cooling water supply circuit. To do
this, disassemble the delivery nozzle located inside the blade
guard and clean in water.
Periodically clean the cooling water delivery line between the
pump and valve, and blade guard using water.

16.5 TENSIONING THE DRIVE BELT (fig. 3)

- Switch off the electric motor and remove the plug from the
power supply.

- Unscrew the 4 screws that secure the movable belt guard (ref. 1).

- Loosen the 4 (ref. 2) screws that clamp the electric motor to
the blade support.

- Tension the belt using the nut (ref. 3): apply a force of about
F=14 lb. to the centre of the free section of the belt, the arrow
should be about f=1/4" in. (fig. 4).

- Tighten the screws on the electric motor, checking the alignment
of the motor pulley and the blade pulley

- Refit the guard and lock it using the 4 screws.

- To avoid shortening the life of the belt, the bearings

and the blade shaft, do not overtension the belt. Finally,
check the two pulleys are aligned.

16.6 DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT

Repeat the operations described in section 16.5, replacing the
belt before tensioning it

17. REPAIRS

- Do not start the saw during repair work.

Only use genuine IMER spare parts and do not modify them.

- If the guards are removed to carry out repairs, they

must be refitted properly when the repair work is finished.
