Read all safety warnings and instructions to avoid electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
This document is the Operator's Manual for the Ramset RW150ES Wall Chaser, a specialized power tool designed for cutting slots and separations in mineral materials. The manual provides essential information for safe operation, maintenance, and technical specifications of the device.
The Ramset RW150ES Wall Chaser is specifically engineered for cutting slots and separating mainly mineral materials such as reinforced concrete, masonry, tiles, and pavements. It is designed for dry operation, meaning it should be used without water. The tool is not intended for treating materials that release noxious dust or steam during operation. Proper use is crucial to prevent injury or damage to the tool. The machine's design incorporates features for adjusting cutting depth and width, as well as a dust extraction system to manage debris generated during work.
The RW150ES Wall Chaser operates on a nominal voltage (Un) of 220-240 V with a frequency (Fn) of 50/60 Hz. Its nominal power (Pn) is 2500W, indicating a robust motor capable of handling demanding cutting tasks. Acoustic data includes a sound power level (LWA) of 110 dB and a sound pressure level (LpA) of 99 dB, with an uncertainty (K) of 4 dB. These values suggest that hearing protection is essential during operation. Vibration data shows an acceleration value (A) of 4.3 m/s² with an uncertainty (K) of 1.5 m/s². This information is important for assessing potential hand-arm vibration exposure and implementing appropriate safety measures. The tool's no-load speed is 6600 min⁻¹, allowing for efficient material removal. The RW150ES weighs 6.5 kg, making it a relatively heavy-duty tool that requires stable handling. It comes with a 5-meter power cord, providing a reasonable working radius. The machine is designed to accommodate diamond disks with a diameter of 150 mm and a bore of 22.2 mm. A key feature is its "Dust free system (EPTA regulations)," which indicates compliance with European Power Tool Association standards for dust management, aiming to reduce dust-related hazards.
The wall chaser offers versatile cutting capabilities:
The manual highlights several components and their functions for effective operation:
The manual provides a step-by-step visual guide for assembling the diamond disks and distance rings. It shows how to combine different ring sizes to achieve various cutting widths, from a minimum of 3mm up to 45mm. This modular approach allows users to customize the tool for specific slot dimensions. An important safety note is indicated by an exclamation mark during the assembly process, suggesting caution.
The slot depth is adjusted using a dedicated wheel, with clear visual indicators on the tool. The manual shows a setting of "50," corresponding to the maximum cutting depth of 50 mm.
A critical feature for user safety and work area cleanliness is the integrated dust exhaustion system. The manual illustrates the connection of an external dust extractor, specifically mentioning the "Ramset™ AC1630P," to the tool's suction nozzle via a quick-seal coupling. This system is designed to comply with EPTA regulations for dust-free operation.
The tool incorporates motor protection, as indicated by a graph showing current (I) over time (t). The graph illustrates a current limit (Imax = 15A) and a "3 sec." delay before a "STOP" action, suggesting an overload protection mechanism. If the motor draws excessive current for more than 3 seconds, it will automatically shut down to prevent damage. This feature enhances the longevity and reliability of the tool.
The manual includes a section on maintenance, emphasizing that service should be performed by "professionals" or "service only" personnel. A visual cue depicts the tool being serviced, with a lightning bolt symbol indicating electrical work, and a wrench symbol suggesting mechanical maintenance. This implies that specialized knowledge and tools are required for proper upkeep, and users should not attempt complex repairs themselves. Regular cleaning and inspection are generally recommended for power tools, though specific user-level maintenance tasks are not detailed in the provided excerpts. The warranty information also stresses that repairs made or attempted by unauthorized personnel will void the warranty, reinforcing the importance of professional service.
The manual prominently features a "Safety Instructions" section with various pictograms, including:
