General working instructions

Basic safety rules

• Look around you:

- To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot

affect your control of the machine.

- To make sure that none of the above might come into

contact with the cutting equipment.

• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad
weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions,
e.g. slippery surfaces.

• Never start to work with the power cutter before the
working area is clear and you have a firm foothold. Look
out for any obstacles with unexpected movement. Ensure
when cutting that no material can become loose and fall,
causing operating injury.Take great care when working on
sloping ground.

• Make sure that no clothes or parts of the body come in
contact with the cutting equipment when it is rotating.

• Keep at a safe distance from the cutting equipment when
it is rotating.

• The guard for the cutting equipment must always be on
when the machine is running.

• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to
create a safe working environment.

• Do not move the machine when the cutting equipment is
rotating.

• Always ensure you have a safe and stable working
position.

• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in
the area to be cut.

Cutting

General

• Start cutting with the machine running at maximum
speed.

• Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both hands.
Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip round the
handles.

Cutting technique

The technique described below is of a general character.
Check the details of each blade concerning individual cutting
characteristics.

!

WARNING! This section describes basic
safety directions for using a power cutter.
This information is never a substitute for
professional skills and experience. If you get
into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop
and seek expert advice. Contact your dealer,
service agent or an experienced power
cutter user. Do not attempt any task that you
feel unsure of!

!

WARNING! The safety distance for the power
cutter is 15 metres. You are responsible to
ensure that animals and onlookers are not
within the working area. Do not start cutting
until the working area is clear and you are
standing firmly.

!

WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage
in people who have impaired circulation.
Contact your doctor if you experience
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
These symptoms include numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of
strength, changes in skin colour or
condition. These symptoms normally appear

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Support the work piece in such a way that it is possible to
predict what will happen, and so that the cut remains open
while cutting.

• Check that the blade is not in contact with anything when
the machine is started.

• Always cut at maximum speed.

• Start cutting gradually, let the machine work without
forcing or pressing the blade.

• Move the blade slowly backwards and forwards to give a
small contact surface between the blade and material to
be cut. This will mean the blade temperature is kept down
resulting in efficient cutting.

• Feed the machine in line with the blade. Side pressure can
destroy the blade and is extremely dangerous.

Cutting depth

K3600 MKII can cut up to a depth of 260 mm (10 inches).
Making a guide cut of 50-70 mm (2-3 inches) first, gives you
better control of the machine. This means the water disc can
penetrate into the workpiece and help control the machine.

Attempting to saw the entire depth in one run takes longer.
Working with several runs, 3 to 4 when the cut is 260 mm (10
inches) in depth, is much quicker.

Large work

Cuts exceeding 1 m - secure a batten along the line to be cut.
The batten acts as a guide. Use this guide to make a marking
cut along the entire length of the cut, 50-70 mm (2-3 inches)
in depth. Remove the guides once the marking cut has been
made.

Small work

First make a shallow marking cut, max 50-70 mm (2-3 inches)
in depth. Now make the final cut.

Cutting sequence

First make the lower horizontal cut. Now make the two vertical
cuts. Finish with the upper horizontal cut.

Remember to divide the blocks up into manageable pieces so
that they can be transported and lifted safely.

CAUTION! If the upper horizontal cut is made before the

lower horizontal cut, the work piece will fall on the blade and
jam it.

!

WARNING! Under all circumstances avoid
cutting with the side of the blade, as this will
definitely result in damage, breakage or can
cause serious injuries. Only use the cutting
section.

Do not pull the power cutter to one side, this
can cause the blade to jam or break
resulting in injury to people.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

How to avoid kickback

What is kickback?

The word kickback is used to describe the sudden reaction
that causes the power cutter and cutting blade to be thrown
from an object when the upper quadrant of the blade, known
as the kickback zone, touches an object.

General rules

• Never start to cut with the upper quadrant of the blade as
shown in the figure, also known as the kickback zone.

• Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both hands.
Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip round the
handles.

• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.

• Always cut at maximum speed.

• Stand at a comfortable distance from the work piece.

• Take care when inserting the blade in an existing cut.

• Never cut above shoulder height.

• Be alert to movement of the work piece or anything else
that can occur, which could cause the cut to close and
pinch the blade.

Pull in

Pull in occurs when the discs lower section suddenly stops or
when the cut closes. (To avoid, see the heading ”Basic rules”
and ”Jamming/rotation”, here below.)

Pinching/rotation

If the cut is pressed together this can lead to jamming. The
machine can be pulled down suddenly with a very powerful
jerk.

How to avoid pinching

Support the work piece in such a way that the cut remains
open during the cutting operation and when the cut is
finished.

Diamond blades

Diamond blades consist of a steel body provided with
segments that contain industrial diamonds.

Always use a sharp diamond blade. Sharpen the blade by
cutting in a soft material such as sandstone or brick.

Diamond blades are available in several hardness classes. A
"soft" diamond blade has a relatively short service life and
large cutting capacity. It is used for hard materials such as
granite and hard concrete. A "hard" diamond blade has a
longer service life and reduced cutting capacity, and should
be used for soft materials such as brick and asphalt.

Diamond blades are ideal for masonry, reinforced concrete
and other composite materials. Diamond blades are not
recommended for cutting metal.

Water cooling

Diamond blades should be sprinkled with water while cutting
to cool the blade and to bind dust that forms while cutting.

Sharpening diamond blades

Diamond blades can become dull when the wrong feeding
pressure is used or when cutting certain materials such as
heavily reinforced concrete. Working with a blunt diamond
blade causes overheating, which can result in the diamond
segments coming loose.

Sharpen the blade by cutting in a soft material such as
sandstone or brick.

Vibrations on diamond blades

The blade can become out of round and vibrate if a too high
feed pressure is used.

A lower feed pressure can stop the vibration. Otherwise
replace the blade. The blade shall be intended for the material
to be cut.

!

WARNING! Kickback can happen very
suddenly and violently; kicking the power
cutter and cutting blade back at the user. If
this happens when the cutting blade is
moving it can cause very serious, even fatal
injuries. It is vital you understand what
causes kickback and that you can avoid it by
taking care and using the right working
technique.

!

WARNING! Cool diamond blades
continuously with water to prevent
overheating that can cause the diamond
blade to break and pieces being thrown off
resulting in injury and damage.

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS

Drive

On account of the machine’s unique design the driving power
is not transferred at the centre of the blade. The flanges on the
two guide rollers run in the blade’s grooves. Springs on the
guide rollers press out the rollers, which in turn press the V­shaped edge on the inside diameter of the blade against the
V-shaped groove in the drive wheel. The drive wheel is fitted
on an axle which is driven by the hydraulic motor.

This allows a total cutting depth of 260 mm (10 inches) with a
350 mm (14 inches) diamond blade.

1 Blade

2 Support rollers

3 Drive wheel

4 Guide rollers

5 V-shaped edge

Basic service

As the blade is used the inside diameter and the groove in the
drive wheel become worn.

The ring cutter will also work well in the future if:

• the drive wheel is not too worn

A) New

B) Worn

• the guide rollers are not too worn

A) New

B) Worn

• adjustment between the rollers and blade is correct.

The roller setting should be checked twice during the life of
the diamond blade, once after fitting the blade and when the
blade is semi worn.

Fitting the blade

We offers a number of blades for different materials in its
range. Check with your PARTNER dealer to see which blades
are best suited for your usage.

• Wipe off any dirt from the surface of the blade.

• Loosen the locking nuts on the support roller cover.

• Unscrew the adjuster screws a few turns.

!

WARNING! Always disconnect the power
cutter from the hydraulic connection when
performing a service. Unexpected blade
movements can cause serious injuries.

!

WARNING! It is forbidden to reconstruct a
used blade. A used blade may be weakened.
A reconstructed blade can crack or break
into pieces and seriously injury the operator
or other persons.

!

WARNING! Check that the blade is not
damaged before fitting it on the machine.
Damaged blades can disintegrate and cause
serious personal injury.

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS

• Loosen the knob to offload the springs.

• Pull out the lock for the front handle and move the handle
to the service position.

• Remove the three screws holding the support roller guard
using a 6 mm hex key and lift off the cover.

• Fit the blade.

CAUTION! The blade has two grooves (A) on one side that
act as guide grooves for the guide rollers.

Ensure that the V-shaped edge of the blade enters the
drive wheel and that the blade’s guide groove fits in the
guide rollers. Also see under the heading Drive.

• Press in the guide roller if necessary, so that it climbs into
the groove on the blade.

• Fit the support roller guard and ensure that the flanges on
the guide rollers still enter the blade’s grooves correctly.
Now tighten the three screws fully.

• Rotate the blade and make sure that the support rollers
are not clamped against the blade.

• Adjust the adjuster screws so that the support rollers
make contact against the blade.

• Adjust so you can easily stop the support rollers using
your thumb when the blade is rotated. The support rollers
should only follow the blade occasionally.

• Tighten the locking nuts on the support roller guard.

• Rotate the blade and make sure you can still hold the
rollers with your thumb when the blade is rotated.

12 –

English

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS

CAUTION! The machine should be upright. If the machine
lies on its side the weight of the blade makes it difficult to
make a correct adjustment.

• Tighten the knobs fully and the machine is ready to use.

Hydraulic hoses

• Before connecting the hoses: Ensure that the couplings
are clean, both on the machine and the hoses.

• Connect the pressure hose (A) from the hydraulic system
to the female coupling on the machine.

• Connect the other hydraulic coupling (B) to the male
coupling. This hose leads oil back to the container.

CAUTION! Two hose kits can be connected when hose
lengths exceeding 18 m are required. Do not connect more
than two kits as the couplings cause large power loss. See the
Technical data.

CAUTION! Make sure that the hoses can not be loosened
accidentally by turning the safety catches on the couplings to
the locked position before using the machine.

Water hose

Connect the water hose to the water supply. The water flow is
activated by opening the check valve. Minimum water flow: 4
l/min Note that the machine’s hose nipple is fitted with a filter.

Water supply

When you press in the switch lock (A) the water valve opens.

The water valve remains open and the switch lock (A) remains
pressed in as long as the switch (B) is held pressed in.

Water dosage

The water flow can be adjusted during operations with your
thumb.

Ample water flow is needed for maximal blade life.

CAUTION! The water pressure and water flow is extremely
important for the blade’s cooling and service life. Inadequate
cooling shortens the life of the guide rollers, drive wheel and
the blade.

!

WARNING! The power cutter must not be
connected to a hydraulic pressure
exceeding 150 bar (3000 psi).

!

WARNING! When the machine is in operation
the hoses are under extreme pressure. Do
not try to connect or disconnect the hoses
when the hydraulic system is operational.
This can result in serious personal injuries.

MAINTENANCE

Reconstructing the blade

Couplings

1 Water

2 Water filter

3 Return

4 Pressure

IMPORTANT! If the coupling is dirty, the dirt can enter the oil
and cause increased wear on the hydraulic motor, hydraulic
pump, valves, etc. It can also prevent the coupling from
sealing correctly.

Always clean the couplings before connecting to the hydraulic
system and the machine. Make sure the lock moves easily.

Clean the water filter if necessary.

Hydraulic hoses

Check the hydraulic hoses everyday before the machine is
used. Cracked, creased or weakened hoses must be
replaced.

!

WARNING! Ring cutter blades must not be
reconstructed. Due to its design, a ring
cutter blade is exposed to other strains than
a centre driven 14 inch diamond blade.
Firstly, the drive wheel is driven on the inner
diameter of the blade so that both the
surfaces of the drive wheel and the blade are
exposed to wear. The core of the blade
becomes thinner and the guide wider, which
prevents the blade being driven by the
wheel. Secondly, the blade is exposed to
loads from the rollers and from the actual
cutting process when the blade is not held
completely straight. Strain builds up in the
blade until it cracks or breaks if it has been
reconstructed. A shattered blade can cause
serious personal injuries to the user or other
persons. For this reason PARTNER does not
approve ring cutting blades that have been
reconstructed. In some cases an individual
segment may be reconstructed. Contact
your PARTNER dealer for instructions.
