The materials that needs cutting
You should be able to cut all concrete products. It is possible that you are not able to cut granite tiles, which are extremely thick.
The power of the machine is limited till 13 thousand kilograms. In that case the tiles or blocks needs to be sawn in a bit. It does
happen sometimes that the machine pulverizes the tiles. This happens to blocks or tiles that have not been vibrated during the
manufacturing process. This also happens with tiles and blocks that are re-used. These blocks often show hairline cracks that
cause the stone to break. Please realize that the products are broken, not cut. This is only possible if the surface is flat and the
products show no hairline cracks.
5. Maintenance
The machine needs to be maintained according to the instructions mentioned bellow to assure a long durability. When
maintaining the machine the battery needs to be disconnected by pulling the plug from the battery cabinet. Always use fitting
keys and tools to prevent damaging.
Daily maintenance
- Clean the machine at the end of a working day and check if there are any defects.
- Charge the battery with the additionally delivered battery charger, another kind of charger can damage the battery!
Monthly maintenance
- Check the hydraulic oil level. On the outside of the black oil cask, under the catch plates there are two bolts. Via the top
bolt you can check the oil level.
- Check the hydraulic system on leaks.
- Clean the battery poles and grease them with acid free Vaseline.
Yearly maintenance
- Renew the hydraulic oil via the airing pipe.
- Cleaning and greasing the knifeholders.
- Grease turning parts.
Damaged or extremely worn out parts need to be replaced immediately by original parts unregarded the terms of maintenance.
When using unoriginal parts all kind of guarantee are declined.
When the machine is stationary for a long period (for example winter storage):
- Disconnect the battery brakes.
- Store the battery frost-free and fill up every month to prevent the battery fluid from freezing. When the battery fluid gets
frozen the battery cabinet will brake down and the plates in the battery will get damaged.
- Clean the machine and spray a mixture of diesel and motoroil to prevent corrosion.
Changing or replacing of the knives
Taking apart the upper knife:
- Make sure the upper knife is totally in the highest position.
- Put two wooden blocks between the lower- and upper knife so this can fall down.
- Turn the bolts loose from the springs.
- Remove the checkplate from the cylinder pins and press the cylinder pins with a thin rod or axle from the upper knife.
- Remove the upper knife from the frame.
Taking apart the lower knife:
- Remove the worktable.
- Turn the bolts loose under the frame.
- The lower knife can now be taken out of the frame.
The separate knives can be removed from the holders by turn the screw key loose on the flank side of the holder and then
remove the knives separately.
Fitting happens reversed order. With this process the knives and cylinder pins need to be greased. First you tighten the knife
bolts.
After that the screws are tightened on the flank side.
Tighten these screws so you can just move them.
Secure the screws. When securing the screws of the lower knife you use the lock nut. When securing the screws of the upper
knife you use the second screw. At last you need to lute the seam between the knives and the knifeholder.
