1.3 Safety instructions for particular operating phases
Before commencing work
Before commencing work, make yourself familiar with the working environment at the place of
use. The working environment includes: obstacles in the area of work and manoeuvre, the
firmness of the floor, necessary protection at the site relating to public thoroughfares and the
availability of help in the event of accidents.
Site the machine on an even, firm and stable base!
Check for correct mounting of the blade regularly.
Immediately remove damaged or badly worn blades, as they endanger the operator whilst
rotating.
The material to be cut must be held securely in place on the table to allow no unexpected
movement during cutting operation.
Always cut with the blade guard in position.
Only fit NORTON diamond blades with continuous rim to the machine! The use of other tools
can damage the machine!
Read the blades’ specifications carefully to choose the correct tool for your application.
Attention is drawn to the use of BS2092 safety goggles in conformity with specified Processes
No.8 of the Protection of Eyes Regulation 1974, Regulation 2(2) Part 1. Also use the other
safety equipment as mentioned in the symbols plus a dust mask when dry cutting is applied.

Always turn off the TR 232 and separate it from the main source of electricity before any work on
the machine is done.
Make all electrical connections securely to eliminate contact of live wires with spray water or
dampness
When TR 232 is used with water, it is IMPERATIVE that you earth the machine properly. Let a
qualified electrician check in case of doubt.
Press the red button (0) on the switch to stop the machine in case of emergency.
In the event of the TR 232 breaking down or stopping for no apparent reason, switch off the
main electricity supply. Only a qualified electrician is allowed to investigate the trouble and
remedy the fault.

2 MACHINE DESCRIPTION
Any modification, which could lead to a change in the original characteristics of the machine, may
be done only by Saint-Gobain Abrasives who shall confirm that the machine is still in conformity with
the safety regulations.
2.1 Short description
The TR 232 Saw is designed for durability and high performance for onsite wet cutting operations of
a wide range of tiles.
As with all other NORTON CLIPPER products, the operator will immediately appreciate the attention
given to detail and quality of materials used in construction. The machine and its component parts
are assembled to high standards assuring long life and minimum maintenance.
2.2 Purpose of use
The machine is designed for wet cutting of a large range of building and refractory materials, or tiles.
It is not designed for cutting wood, metals or other materials.

The frame is made of aluminium and steel to ensure robustness and durability. The folding stand
with 4 legs ensures stability while cutting.
Cutting head (2)
Aluminium console guided with precision. This console supports the electric motor, the guides and
the blade guard. The head can be tilted to cut with an angle from 0 to 45º.
Blade guard (3)
The blade guard assembly with a 230mm-diameter blade capacity is completely closed, but the
outside cover can be disassembled to access the blade. It offers maximum operator protection and
increased visibility of the work piece. The tightening of the fixing flange is done by a hexagonal head
screw (left-hand thread).
Water cooling (4)
The coolant system comprises:
A submersible mechanical water pump.
Plastic suction pipe delivering the water from the water pan to the cutting head.
A removable large capacity plastic water pan located under the cutting table to reduce water
loss.
A nozzle of watering located on the casing of the disc for a good distribution of water on the
disc.
Electric Motor (5)
One phase 1,1 kW motor. The switch with the red and green buttons is used to start and turn off the
engine. The red button is also an emergency stop.

The vibration value is lower and does not exceed 2.5 m /s².
Values determined using the procedure described in the standard EN 12418.
The measurements are made with new machines. Actual values may vary with site conditions, in
terms of:
Materials worked
Wear Machine
Lack of maintenance
Inappropriate tool for application
Tool in poor condition
Unskilled operator
Etc…
The exposure time to vibration is based on the performance of work (related to the adequacy
Machine / Tool / worked material / operator)
When evaluating risks due to hand-arm vibration, you need to take into account effective usage at
rated power of machine during a full day of work; quite often you will realise that effective utilisation
time represents around 50% of overall duration of work. You have to consider, of course, breaks,
water feeding, preparation of work, time to move the machine, disk mounting…

3 ASSEMBLY AND COMMISSIONING
The TR 232 is delivered fully equipped. It is ready for operation after assembly of the diamond blade
and after connection to the appropriate power supply.
3.1 Assembly of the legs
Lift up one side of the saw and unfold the legs without wheels. Lift up the other side of the saw
and unfold the legs with the wheels.
Encase the arm of blocking in the pin and tighten the button knurled to prevent that the feet are
not folded up.
3.2 Assembly of the handles
In order to seize the machine more easily, fix the two handles on the side of the machine using
the screws and nuts.

VERS. 2016.04.29 TR 232_MAN_EN
15
3.3 Cutting head
Fix the handle of the cutting head using two screws.
To be able to use your machine, you must release the head of cut. For that unscrew the knurled
button which maintains the head on the right amount during transport.
3.4 Assembly of the cooling system
Fix the cable containing the water pipe along the rail of the head of cut.
Mount the pump in the vat to water and the drain plug

VERS. 2016.04.29 TR 232_MAN_EN

3.5 Transport wheels
To be able to move your machine easily, assemble the wheels to the bottom of the feet located
on the side opposite of the handles, using the screws butterflies.

3.9 Installation of the material holding system (TR 232 L only)
In order to ensure an optimal material holding during the cut, use the grasshoppers envisaged
for this purpose.
3.10 Tool assembly
Only NORTON blades with a diameter of 230 mm can be used with the TR 232.
All tools used must be selected with regard to their maximum permitted cutting speed for the
machine’s maximum permitted rotation speed. Before mounting a new blade into the machine,
switch off the machine and isolate it from the main source of electricity.
To assemble a new blade, follow these steps:
Loosen the three screws holding the outer cover of the blade guard using the crosshead
screwdriver supplied with TR 232, and remove it.
Loosen the hexagonal nut (left threaded) on the blade shaft using the 18 mm wrench supplied
with TR 232, which holds the removable outer flange.
Remove the outer flange.
Clean the flanges and blade shaft and inspect for wear.
Mount the blade on the shaft ensuring that direction of rotation is correct (check with the arrow
on the blade guard). Wrong direction of rotation blunts the blade quickly.
WARNING: The blade bore must correspond exactly to the blade shaft. Cracked or damaged
bore is dangerous for the operator and for the machine.
Put outer blade flange back in place.
Tighten hexagonal nut using 18 mm wrench.
Put the outer cover of the blade guard back in place and tighten the three holding screws with
the crosshead screwdriver.
WARNING: the blade bore must correspond exactly to the diameter of the blade shaft. Cracked or
damaged bore is dangerous for the operator and for the machine.

3.11 Electrical connections
Check that:
The voltage/phase supply corresponds to the information indicated on the motor plate.
Available power supply must have ground connection in conformity with safety regulations.
The connecting cables should have at least a 2.5mm2-section per phase.
3.12 Water cooling system
Fill the TR 232 with clean water up to 1cm under the top edge of the water tray. The pump will
switch on together with motor.
Ensure that water is delivered adequately to the blade, as insufficient water supply may result in
premature failure of the diamond blade.
The water pump must never run without water. Always make sure that there is enough water in
the pan and refill if necessary.
In case of frost, empty the water cooling system from its water.
3.13 Starting the machine
Connect your machine to the electric source. To start the machine, press the green button on the
switch. To stop the machine, press the red button. This one is also an emergency stop key.
