3 Assembly and commissioning
The machine is delivered fully equipped. It is ready for operation after assembly the diamond blade
and after connection to the appropriate power supply.
3.1 Assembly on the folding frame
Lift the machine from the side of the handles (opposite to the cutting head) and unfold the
legs. Then lift the other side and unfold the other pair of legs. Make sure that you don’t trap
the cable and water hose between the machine and the water tray.
Put the locking plate in the pin and tighten the knob in order to prevent folding of the leg.
3.2 Handles assembly
In order to lift the machine easily, assemble the two handles on the side of the machine with
bolts.
3.3 Cutting head
Assemble the cutting head handle with two screws.

11
You have to detach the cutting head by unscrewing the knob securing the head against one
of the column of the machine.
3.4 Transport wheels
In order to move the machine easily, mount the wheels with two wing screws at the bottom of
the legs located to the opposite side of the handles.
3.5 Water cooling system assembly
Mount the cable including the water hose along the cutting head guiding rail.
Mount the water pomp in the water tray and the drain plug as well.

12
3.6 Tool assembly
Only NORTON continuous rim blades with a maximum diameter of 200 mm can be used with the
TR 201 E.
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 mount a new blade, follow these steps:
Loosen on the three screws holding the outer cover of the blade guard, and remove it.
Loosen the hexagonal nut on the blade shaft with the 19mm wrench, 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.
Replace outer blade flange.
Tighten hexagonal nut.
Retighten the three screws (1) maintaining the outer cover the blade shaft.
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.
3.7 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.

13
3.8 Guide-a-cut assembly
Angle guide-a-cut
Secure the materials stop on the table.
Insert the guide-a-cut in the materials stop on
the table
Set the guide in the desired position before
tightening the screws
Lateral guide-a-cut
Put the guide-a-cut on the table
Slightly tighten the two knobs.
Slide the guide-a-cut to the proper distance
from the cutting line.
Strongly tighten the two knobs.
3.9 Water cooling system
Fill the water pan with clean water to 1cm of the edge of the water tray.
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.
3.10 Starting the machine
Connect the machine to the electrical supply. You can start it pressing the green button on the
switch. To stop the machine, press the red button. The red button is also the emergency switch.

14
4 Transport and storing
4.1 Securing for transport
Before transporting the machine, always remove the blade and empty the water pan. Secure the
cutting head on a column by using the knob.
4.2 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
Take the water pump out of the water tray, and clean it thoroughly.
The storage site must be clean, dry and at a constant temperature.

15
5 Operating the machine
5.1 Site of work
5.1.1 Sitting 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 by the device 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 Space required for operation and maintenance
Leave 2 m in front of the machine and 1,5 m around it for usage and maintenance of the TR200E.
5.2 Cutting methods
To use the machine correctly, you must face it with one hand on the cutting head, and one on the
tile to be cut to maintain it against the material stops. Always keep your hands away from the
moving blade.
5.3 Cutting with an angle
You can cut from 0º to 45º by tilting the head. To this purpose:
Loosen the two knobs maintaining the head to tilt the head to the desire angle.
Retighten the two knobs.
5.4 General advice for the cutting
Only tiles with max. dimensions 650x400x15mm and max. weight 3kg can be cut with the
machine.
Before commencing work make sure tools are 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.
Make sure the water pan contains enough water.
Set the guide-a-cut to the desired width of cut, and to the desired angle using the two engraved
measurements to align it correctly.
Do not force on the motor. This machine is not designed for a continuous use.
