CUTTING ADVICE
Mark out all the cutting lines on the workpiece using suitable
media – pencil, crayon, chalk etc. All cutting lines should be
clear and readily visible.

possible to predict what will happen, and that the cut will
remain stable and open while cutting. (FIG. 7)
• Alwaysalignthediamondwheelwithapre-markedcutting
line before beginning operations, but ensure that the
diamond wheel is not touching the workpiece.
• Switchthemachine‘ON’andallowthebladetoreachitsfull

performance is best when you cut straight ahead along the
pre-marked cutting line. Do not cut a depth of greater than
50mm (2”). FIG. 8 If a cut of greater than 50 mm (2”) is
required make several passes.
• Cutsmoothly,allowingthemachinetoworkwithoutforcing
the blade.
£ WARNING: Do not attempt to cut curved or zig zag lines.
Never use the side of the blade as a cutting surface. Never use
to perform inclination cutting.
• Donotapplywaterorcoolanttothediamondblade.
• Movethebladeslowlybackwardsandforwardsandtryto
achieve a small contact area between the blade and the
workpiece being cut. This reduces the temperature of the
blade and ensures efficient cutting.
• Ifthebladeseizesorthereisanyabnormalnoise,
immediately turn the power ‘OFF’ and investigate the
cause. Determine the cause of any noise or stoppage. Only
recommence cutting if it is safe to do so.

pressure on the blade disc can damage it and can be very
dangerous.
