Use and Care Manual
ASSEMBLY
4
Use a water collector with a wet vacuum to collect cooling water if nearby objects could be damaged by water.
The water feed system is built into the machine. To connect with the water supply, rst pull the quick-release
collar to remove the female side of the water coupling. Then unscrew the nut and engage the coupling
to the water hose. Now reconnect the water coupling to the male water feed valve. Press it until it clicks.
The water ow is controlled by the water feed valve. The water to the blade may be nely adjusted to the
required amount and no more.
NOTE: Contaminants in the water supply can easily plug up the ne
water nozzles in the blade guard. Ensure that the supply water is clean.
If you nd that there is no water ow to the blade, then clean out the
water feed system on the machine.
The guide rollers make it easier to keep the blade plane perpendicular
to the workpiece. To install, slacken the buttery bolt slightly and engage
the four claws with the four eyelets on the bottom of the motor housing,
then tighten the buttery bolt. Note that roller assembly is offset to
one side to avoid contacting the blade, so it may only be installed in
one orientation. If it is not needed, the guide roller assembly may be
removed and set aside.
GUIDE ROLLER ASSEMBLY
FLUSH CUTTING KIT INSTRUCTIONS (OPTIONAL)
The ush cutting kit enables a ush cut blade (not included) to be
mounted to the machine which allows ush cuts to be made while
the outer blade guard is temporarily removed. The ush cut blade
may be left in place and the operator may return to standard cutting
simply by replacing the outer blade guard and securing with the
4 toggle latches. In this way, it is quick and convenient to switch
between standard and ush cutting mode. Or if desired, the ush
cutting blade and ange may be removed and the machine returned
to the standard conguration.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION, OVERHEAT PROTECTION
When full load is reached, the load warning lamp will ash red. lf full
load is exceeded and sustained for too long, the motor will shut down
and the load warning lamp will glow solid red. In this case, the motor
must be rst shut off and then restarted. When this happens, the motor
will very likely be near overheating, so it is also a good idea to run the
motor at no load for a few minutes to cool it before continuing.
OVERHEAT THERMAL PROTECTION
If the temperature of the motor gets too high, the thermal protection will shut the motor down. The switch
must be rst shut off and then restarted. When this happens, do not immediately start cutting after restarting
the motor. Always run the machine at no load for a few minutes to return to a normal operating temperature
before continuing.
CAUTION: The motor will be damaged if it is repeatedly overloaded or overheated. Always cool the motor
by running at no load for a few minutes whenever it stops from either overheat or overload.
