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.
