CORE CUTTING PROCEDURE
(ELECTRIC MOTOR)
(#PEB1431 - 14” CORE CUTTING SAW)
A) MOUNT SAW BLADE SO IT TURNS IN DIRECTION OF ARROW.
B) LOWER BLADE SO CUTTING EDGE IS BELOW THE OPEN SLOT IN THE CORE CUTTING BRACKET AND
LOCK CARRIAGE WITH HANDLE AT REAR.
C) TURN SAW SWITCH TO ON POSITION.
D) TURN WATER ON BY TURNING VALVE IF DIRECT WATER SUPPLY IS USED. IF WATER PUMP IS USED,
PUMP WILL START WHEN SAW MOTOR IS TURNED ON. (IF PUMP IS PLUGGED INTO SIDE OF 60 CYCLE
MOTOR)
E) PLACE CORE INTO CUTTING BRACKET AND PUSH CART THROUGH THE BLADE UNTIL CORE IS CUT
COMPLETELY IN HALF.
F) CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OVERFEED THE CORE THROUGH THE SAW BLADE, ESPECIALLY WHEN
CUTTING HARD CORE. IF OVERFEEDING OCCURS, MOTOR WILL OVERHEAT AND POWER DOWN, AND
MAY CAUSE THE WINDINGS TO BURN OUT.
G) AT END OF DAY, CLEAN ALL CUTTINGS FROM SAW, PUMP AND HOSE.
H) WARNING: ALWAYS MAKE SURE SAW IS CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.
I) CAUTION: GOOD MOTOR PERFORMANCE IS DEPENDENT ON PROPER VOLTAGE. EXTENSION CORDS
THAT ARE TOO LONG AND/OR SMALL REDUCE AVAILABLE VOLTAGE TO MOTOR UNDER LOAD.
VOLTAGE AND AMPERAGE SHOULD BE TESTED AT THE MOTOR. USE EXTENSION CORDS NO SMALLER
THAN INDICATED BELOW:

J) SINGLE PHASE 60 HERTZ MOTORS ARE EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL RESET OVERLOADS. WHEN
OVERLOAD TRIPSTURN SWITCH TO OFF POSITION AND ALLOW 10 MINUTES TO COOL. PUSH THE RESET
BUTTON AND TURN SWITCH TO ON.
K) A 30 OR 40 AMP CIRCUIT SHOULD BE DESIGNATED SOLELY FOR THE SAW.
THE 3 H.P. MOTOR, WHEN ON 230 VOLTS, DRAWS ALMOST 15 AMPS WHEN RUNNING, BUT REQUIRES
DOUBLE THE AMPS FOR STARTING.

IF THE MOTOR DOES NOT GET ENOUGH AMPS, IT WILL EVENTUALLY BURN UP THE START
WINDINGS AND FAIL.
APPLICATION CHART
FOR CORE CUTTING BLADES
MODEL #VHC24 SEGMENTED
USED FOR CUTTING VERY HARD CORE, SUCH AS CHERT, JASPERITE, QUARTZITE, HARD
GRANITES, ETC. IF YOU USE THIS BLADE FOR CUTTING SOFTER CORE, IT MAY WEAR OUT
PREMATURELY.
MODEL #HC44 SEGMENTED OR #CCRB14P CONTINUOUS RIM
USED FOR CUTTING HARD CORE, SUCH AS RHYOLITE, GRANITE, SILICIFIED VOLCANICS,
ETC. IF YOU USE THIS BLADE FOR CUTTING SOFTER / ABRASIVE CORE, IT MAY WEAR OUT
PREMATURELY.
MODEL #CC34 SEGMENTED (#SCQ14) OR #CCRB14 CONTINUOUS RIM
USED FOR CUTTING REGULAR CORE SUCH AS BASALT, DIORITE, DIABASE, GABRO,
DOLOMITE, WEATHERED GRANITE, SERPENTINE, AND PERIDOTITE. IF YOU USE THIS
BLADE FOR CUTTING SOFTER/ABRASIVE CORE, IT MAY WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. IF YOU
USE THIS BLADE FOR HARDER CORE, IT MAY GO DULL AND NOT WANT TO CUT.
MODEL SC54 SEGMENTED
USED FOR CUTTING SOFT/ABRASIVE CORE SUCH AS CONGLOMERATES, SHALES,
LIMESTONE, SILICA AND SULPHIDES. IF YOU USE THIS BLADE FOR CUTTING HARDER
CORE, IT MAY GO DULL AND NOT WANT TO CUT.
NOTE :
ENSURE BLADES ARE MOUNTED ON SAW SO THEY TURN IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION.
CAUTION :
WHEN SAWING, EASE CORE INTO BLADE, AFTER CONTACT HAS BEEN MADE, THEN APPLY
PRESSURE.
ENSURE THAT CORE IS SECURED SO AS NOT TO MOVE WHILE BEING CUT. IF CORE
MOVES AND BLADE IS BENT SIDEWAYS, LOSS OF SEGMENTS COULD OCCUR.

Installation
TRANSPORT
The PEB1431 Saw can be easily moved by using the transport handles.
Before transporting the machine, ensure that:
• The sliding carriage is fixed by locking the carriage;
• The motor head is completely down by the lever to recovery;
• The legs are in transport position
POSITIONING
-Place the machine on a stable surface.
To place the machine in working position, proceed as follows:
-MAKE SURE THAT THE MOTOR HEAD IS LOCKED IN THE LOWERED POSITION BY MEANS OF
THE LOCKING LEVER LOCATED ON THE MOTOR SIDE.
-MAKE SURE THAT THE SLIDING CARRIAGE IS LOCKED BY MEANS OF THE CARRIAGE
LOCKING STOPPER.
a) put the leg locking pins in release position
b) by means of the transport handles, lift the rear side (motor side) until the working position.
CAUTION: FOR CORRECT MACHINE POSITIONING, MAKE SURE THAT THE LEG UPPER HOLE
MATCHES THE LEG COUPLING HOLE, BEFORE FINALLY LOCKING IT (SEE PICTURE 8).
8 c) lock the legs one at a time.
CAUTION: HOLD THE MACHINE DURING THE LEG LOCKING PHASES.
d) Repeat the operation for the front side.
IF THE LEGS ARE COMPLETELY REMOVED, PUT THEM BACK WITH THE 4 HOLES
DOWNWARDS AND OUTWARDS.
CHECKING BEFORE USE
THE CORE CUTTING SAW HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR WORKING WITH WATER.
10 • Make sure that the power supply cable does not interfere with the cutting operations.
Use the cable lock lever to direct its passage.
Before using the machine, check there is power supply.
CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY
The machine is to be connected to the power supply by a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) with the
following characteristics:
RCCB In 16 A Id 30 mA
Transformer 230 V 60 Hz 4000 W
Cont. duty
N.B. To ensure correct functioning, periodically check the efficiency of RCCBs by pressing
the push-button on the front of the device.
• Make sure that the section of the power supply cable cores has been measured according to the
starting current and its length. For cables up to 50m long, a section of 4 mm2 is enough.
• Before connecting the machine to the power socket, check that the power supply voltage
corresponds to that shown on the plate on the machine.
• The machine must be connected to an effective ground wire.
In case of doubt, do not connect the machine.

BLADE ASSEMBLY / DISASSEMBLY
Before performing any operation or adjustment, disconnect the machine from the supply
mains.
Loosen the 5 (five) nuts located on the blade cover guard and remove it.
11 Remove the blade fixing nut using the 30 mm spanner and the 5 mm Allen wrench.
*** THE BLADE FIXING NUT HAS A LEFT-HAND THREAD.
• Install the new blade, checking for correct direction of rotation as clearly indicated on the
blade.
• Tighten the blade and put the blade cover guard back in position.
CONTROL DEVICES
1) START/STOP BUTTON:
- It is used to start the machine
- It is used to stop the machine
2) OVERCURRENT CIRCUIT BREAKER:
- It intervenes when there is overcurrent, interrupting the machine supply.
- Its intervention is indicated by the expulsion of the manual reset. In case of intervention of the
circuit breaker, wait a few minutes and reset it by pressing its central pin.
3) MAINS PRESENCE WARNING LIGHT (WHITE):
- On: presence of mains voltage.
- Off: lack of mains voltage.
4) MACHINE OPERATION WARNING LIGHT (GREEN):
- It indicates that the machine is working.
Cutting on the table
BEFORE PERFORMING THE CUTTING OPERATIONS, MAKE SURE THAT THE MATERIAL IS
PROPERLY PLACED IN THE CORE CUTTING CRADLE.
BEFORE STARTING THE CUTTING OPERATIONS, THE OPERATOR MUST MAKE
SURE THAT AT LEAST 150 cm ARE LEFT FREE AROUND THE MACHINE.
IN ORDER TO WORK IN SAFETY CONDITIONS, DO NOT LET OTHER PEOPLE REMAIN NEAR
THE MACHINE DURING THE CUTTING OPERATIONS.
THE OPERATOR STANDS IN THE WORKING POSITION (Pos. 1 Picture 13) DURING THE
DIFFERENT MACHINE OPERATION PHASES.
14 • By means of the locking lever, secure the motor head
• Arrange the piece to be cut in the core cutting cradle.
15 • Start the machine and wait until cutting blade cooling water comes out, adjusting the
necessary amount by means of the water on/off valve located on the blade guard
valve located on the blade guard.
