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 moun

3 ASSEMBLY AND COMMISSIONING
The machine is delivered fully equipped (although without diamond blade). It is ready for operation
when you mount the diamond blade, the handles and the conveyor cart and after you connect to the
appropriate power supply.
3.1 Tool assembly
Only NORTON blades with a maximum diameter of 350 mm can be used with the CM 35.
All tools used must be selected with regard to their maximum permitted cutting speed for the
switch off the machine and isolate it from the main source of electricity.
To mount a new blade, follow these steps:
Loosen the screw in front of the blade guard and disconnect the water hose on its the left side
and open it.
Loosen the hexagonal nut on the blade shaft (attention: left threaded), which holds the
removable outer flange, with the supplied wrench.
Remove the outer flange.
Clean the flanges and blade shaft and inspect for wear.
Mount the blade on arbour ensuring that direction of rotation is correct. Wrong direction of
rotation blunts the blade quickly.
Replace outer blade flange.
Tighten the hexagonal (attention: left threaded), nut with the supplied wrench.
Close the blade guard, retighten the screw on the front of the blade guard and reconnect the
water hose.
ATTENTION: 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.
3.2 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.
3.3 Starting the machine
1. Place the machine on a flat well illuminated location. Use the adjustable legs to ensure
the stability while using the machine.
2. Mount the handle and secure it with the bolt.
3. Mount the blade as previously described.
4. Release the rolling cart from the brake.
5. Set the right cutting depth with the rotation lock handle.
6. Plug the machine in the power supply socket and check that the blade runs in the right
direction.
7. Connect the flexible hose of the vacuum cleaner to the waste socket of the machine and
to the power supply.
8. Connect the machine to the water supply if a wet cutting is needed.
9. Start cutting.

4 TRANSPORT AND STORING
4.1 Securing for transport
Before transporting the machine, always remove the blade. Lock the conveyor thanks to the latch.
4.2 Transportation procedure
The machine could be transported alone with a two-wheel hand truck or manually with the help of a
second person.
The machine does not have lifting hooks.
4.3 Long period of inactivity
If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, please take the following measures:
Completely clean the machine
Empty the water system
The storage site must be clean, dry and at a constant temperature.

5 OPERATING THE MACHINE
You will find in this chapter some advice about where and how to put up the machine.
5.1 Jobsite
5.1.1 Siting the machine
Remove from the site anything, which might hinder the working procedure!
Make sure the site is sufficiently well lit!
Observe manufacturer's conditions for connecting to power supplies!
Place electric cables in such a way that damage is excluded!
Make sure you have a continual adequate view of the working area so you can intervene in the
working process at any time!
Keep other staff out of the area, so you can work securely.
5.1.2 Area dedicated for the use and maintenance of the machine
You should have 2 m in front of the machine and 1,5 m on both sides to get a comfortable use of the
machine.
5.2 Cutting methods
To use the machine correctly, you must face it with one hand on the handle of the cutting head, and
the other on the conveyor cart. Always keep your hands away from the moving blade. Open the
switch cover and press the green button to start the machine. To stop either use the red button or
press directly on the switch front cover.

5.2.1 Full depth or fixed cutting
In full depth or fixed cutting, the cutting head is locked in a fixed position and the material is pushed
into it as shown.
blade periphery reaches max. 3mm under the surface of the conveyor cart) by means of the
handle on the blade guard
Fix position by tightening the clamping device
Put material on conveyor cart
Start the machine
Push the conveyor cart slowly and without undue pressure towards the rotating blade and cut
the material as shown on the picture.
NOTE: While recommended, it is not absolutely necessary to lock the cutting head into a given
depth position when jam cutting. The desired cutting depth can be maintained by holding firmly the
depth feed handle on the blade guard. If the full depth of cut requires excessive pressure (on very
dense material e.g.) make 2 or 3 shallow cuts.

VERS. 13.11.2018 CM 35 Mini Clipper_MAN_EN
17
5.2.2 Multiple step cutting
Multiple step cutting consists of moving the conveyor cart with the material to be cut back and
forward under the rotating blade,
Place the material to be cut on the conveyor cart firmly against the guide-a-cut and the
backstop, keeping the hands well away from the blade.
Start the machine.
Move conveyor cart forward near the blade and pull down the cutting head until blade is lowered
to a point where it will lightly contact the surface of the material.
Pass the material beneath with rapid full length strokes, taking a shallow cut (approximately 3
mm deep as shown on the picture) on the forward. On the backward stroke, lift the blade just
clear over the cutting line.
Complete each rapid stroke backward and forward by passing the material beyond the centre of
the blade before starting the reverse movement of the conveyor cart.
5.2.3 General advice for the cutting
Material weight under 10 kg and having dimensions smaller than 280x340 can be cut with the
machine.
Before commencing work make sure the diamond blade is firmly seated!
Select the right tools as recommended by the manufacturer depending on the material to be
worked, the working procedure (dry or wet cut) to be carried out and the required efficiency.
In case the thermal protection trips, wait until the motor has cooled down before starting the
machine again.
For security reason, every damaged tools or parts must be replaced.
