Operating The Saw
The headstock of the machine can cut in to different positions:
A) 90º STRAIGHT CUT “VERTICAL BLADE POSITION”
Move the saddle towards the blade, pushing it gently in order to create the cut.
B) 45º MITRE CUT “INCLINED DISC POSITION”
The head of the BC 350 model inclines up to 45º. To get this position, loosen the
fastener and rotate the motor head completely, fixing it in the position indicated.
To Mitre, put the piece on the saddle with the front side down. Then, put the guide ruler
on the left-hand side of the saddle. That way you can adjust the mitre to the measure of
the piece. Once the ruler blockade has been fixed, make all the cuts on pieces of an
equal measure.
Begin by moving the saddle carefully, so that the glazed material does not suffer any
damage. Do not move the saddle quickly. Otherwise you will force the blades flexibility.
As a result, the mitre will be defective and the blade may break.
The water pan contains water in order to cool the cut. Its capacity is approximately 60
litres. It is important to frequently check the water level. (It must always cover the pump
when functioning)
The flow of water is adjusted using a spherical valve placed over the disc protection. The
jet of water must be projected directly towards the inner line of the diamond blade bar.
You can adjust it using a screwdriver. Partially introduce the screwdriver into the water
pipes and correct them. They are easily corrected as they are made from malleable
copper.
NOTE: The water pump starts up with the machine as you switch it on.

WARNING
!This machine must be used with a 6KVA transformer

Alignment of the Blade
NECESSARY ITEMS:
- A round steel stick of 4 or 5mm and 250mm in length. Sharpen one of the ends.
- Ceramic tile.
1. Unplug the machine, remove the blade guard, loosen the fastenerswhich attach it to
the headstock.
2. Remove the blade following the operating instructions.
3. Loosen the 4 screws which fix the motor to the platform. (Don’t remove completely)
4. Put the ceramic tile on the saddle as indicated in Fig.1 with the glazed side facing
down. Put some chalk on the visible side along the central line.
5. Place the stick between the fixing pans, after having tightened the thread of the axle
of the motor. When placing the stick, take into account that the sharpened end must
be in contact with the tile.
6. Then, turn the axle with the stick in the opposite direction, and move the saddle in the
opposite directionto create a new line on the tile. This must coincide with the previous
line. If it doesn’t, you have to move the motor until the lines coincide. Once
obtained, fix the screws to the platform.

THE OPERATOR SHOULD BE POSITIONED ON THE
SADDLE IN FRONT OF THE AXLE OF THE BLADE
