7.8 Guide rail extension
Longer cuts are made with interlocked guide rails. The rails are mounted on the brackets and
fixed loosely. The draw tube is put into the rail end and interlocked with the eccentric bolt. The
second rail is put on and pulled by the second eccentric bolt until the racks of the two rails are in
dead stop position. The rails are centered using a centering pin and centering bushing. Then, the
clamp pads of the fastening brackets can be tightened.
Draw tube with eccentric bolts Rack in dead stop position
Set up the rails only by hand or with a soft-faced hammer!
Never let the saw touch the limit stops –
danger of breaking!
7.9 Mounting the wall saw
Place the main saw head with attached drive motor on the guide rail, lock on and secure.
Free-from-play locking
There must be no play and no jamming between the rollers and the guide rails in order to achieve
a straight and clean cut. This is achieved by turning the eccentric bolts.

7.13 Electric connection
The specifications for the electrical connection can be found
on the rating plate and in the user manual.
Always observe the correct sequence:
At start-up first connect the motor cable and the
remote control, then connect the mains plug.
Please note: After switching off the machine, first disconnect the mains plug, then the motor cable
and the remote control.
The electrical connection between the BC120 and the drive motor must be carried out according
to the BC120 user manual. The karabiner at the motor end of the cable must be hooked onto the
main saw head in order to ensure that the cable remains tension-free.
Connection plug hurricane
Plugging and securing cable A-40S
Connect stress relief hurricane SB120, completely connected
All the plugs are coded and each is designed differently to prevent confusion. Never
attempt to connect a plug with force!
Secure all the plugs prior to starting up the wall saw. Always close the protective caps
after removing the connecting cables in order to keep electrical connections clean.

8.1 Pre-start check
Read and observe the user manual and the safety precautions prior to operation.
Nonobservance of the instructions may result in the uncontrolled start-up
of the machine or damage to the machine. EDT EURODIMA GMBH is not
liable for damage caused in this way.
The machine may only be switched on if all the
electrical connections and cooling water hoses
have been properly connected.
The safety equipment must be checked
All bolts and nuts must be tight
The saw drive must be correctly mounted on the rail and locked.
The blade cover must be in place.
The remote control, electric supply cables and water must be connected.
All control knobs on the remote control and the control unit must be set to zero.
Only operate the wall saw if the blade cover is attached.
Do not touch any movable parts of the machine during start-up
risk of
injury!
Do not operate the machine with damaged parts or if the controls are not
functioning properly.
Defects in the wall saw must be repaired by EDT EURODIMA
or an authorised dealer.
8.2 Operating temperatures
The motor and gear temperature vary according to the temperature of the cooling water and the
water pressure. Therefore the surface temperature of the swivel arm can reach 75 °C. The water
coming from the blade flange must be lukewarm. This means that the machine is being
adequately cooled.
8.3 Safety coupling
A safety coupling is located between the drive motor and the main saw head in order to prevent
damage to the gears. Sudden jamming of the saw blade induces unpredictable forces that can
damage the machine.

1000 / 40 80 4,1 0.16
The optimum cutting speed (circumferential speed) of the saw blades depends on various factors
such as: the quality of the concrete, the aggregates and the proportion of reinforcing steel.
Observe the speeds and cutting depths recommended in the user manual and on the rating plate.
When sawing hard concrete reduce the circumferential speed or rpm.
The rate of advance can be increased with abrasive concrete.
Reduce the rate of advance if cutting concrete with a large proportion of reinforcing steel.
In case of critical or hazardous situations press the
EMERGENCY STOP button immediately.
8.5 Practical tips
Observe the saw blade's direction of motion!
8.5.1 Guide cut
The first cut is the guide cut.
Depending on whether the background is hard, soft or masonry, the feed depth should be
between 2 and 15 cm.
Saw blade diameter 700 mm / 28“; saw blade width: 4,4 mm / 0.17“
Do not make the first cut at maximum advance rate; this could cause an untrue cut.
Steel wedges must be used to secure a cut block.
8.5.2 Additional cuts
Here, too, the feed depth depends largely on the material and is between 5 - 10 cm / 2 - 4“.
Saw blade diameter 800 - 1000 mm / 32 - 40“; saw blade segment width: 4,1 mm / 0.16“
Always work using the progressive cutting method! A higher advance rate is better than too much
feed depth which causes dulling of the segments.
Always cut with the swivel arm pulling.
