This manual is to be considered an integral part of the machine, and
it must be preserved for future reference (EN 12100/2) throughout the

cement may be requested from the saw manufacturer.
The manual contains important information regarding site preparation,
installation, machine use, maintenance procedures and requests for
spare parts. Nevertheless, the installer and the operator must both have
adequate experience and knowledge of the machine prior to use.
To guarantee complete safety of the operator, safe operation and long
life of equipment, follow the instructions in this manual carefully, and
observe all safety standards currently in force for the prevention of
accidents at work. Use personal protection (safety footwear, suitable
clothing, gloves, goggles, etc.).

- The use of protective goggles is compulsory.

- Ear protection must be worn at all times.

- Make sure that warning signs are always legible.

4. CUTTING SPECIFICATIONS

This saw model has been specially designed for cutting stone, ceramics,
marble, granite, concrete and similar materials. Only water-cooled dia­mond blades with continuous or segmented edges must be used. Under
no circumstances must dry cutting blades be used or materials other

2. Never use makeshift and/or faulty power cables.

3. Make electrical connections on the construction site where they
will not be subject to damage. Never stand the saw on power sup­ply cables.

4. Lay power cables in such a way as to prevent water penetration.

5. Repairs to electrical installations must only be carried out by

- Before removing the panel saw, lock the carriage using the

ting the machine with a fork lift, insert the left fork in the slot provided

surfaces as follows:

1. make sure that the front wheel brakes are released.

2. make sure that the piece holder carriage is clamped with the special

3. pull the machine by hand using the piece holder carriage grip; move­ment (also round corners) is facilitated by the front castor wheels.

10. INSTALLATION

1. Install the machine on a completely even and stable surface.

2. Block the front wheels with the brakes.

3. Release the carriage from the lever that secures it to the frame (ref.4,

11. ELECTRICAL MAINS CONNECTION

- Make certain that a residual current device and miniature

circuit breaker are installed on the electrical power line.

11.1 Connecting versions with motor 115V/60Hz

- To supply the machine it is necessary to use a 2-pole +
ground cable in order to ensure the machine's connection to the
site's equipotential system.

11.2 Connecting versions with motor 220V/60Hz

Ensure that the supply voltage corresponds to machine dataplate speci-

- To supply the machine it is necessary to use a 3-pole +
ground cable in order to ensure the machine's connection to the
site's equipotential system.

11.3 Sizing the power supply cable

The power supply line must be suitably sized to prevent voltage drops.
Do not use cable winders. The electric cable wire size must take into
account the operating currents and length of the line to avoid excessive
voltage drops (table 4).

5. Turn the start-stop selector to the start position (star connection). Wait
for 5 sec. and turn to the running position (delta connection).

6. Check that the direction of blade rotation corresponds to that indica­ted by the arrow on the blade guard.

the direction of rotation of the disk is the opposite of the arrow on

- For safety purposes the removal of protective guards from
the machine is strictly prohibited.

- The machine is protected against overload: this protection
triggers stopping the machine, after which the time necessary for
the overload to cool must pass before it is possible to restart the
machine.
