manual is mandatory to any person responsible for the use, maintenance or repair of this machine.
It is recommended to have always this manual in an easily accessible place close to
where the machine is being used.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE.
SIMA cutting table saws are designed and manufactured to be used at building sites for cutting masonry materials, stone
and any mineral and compound building materials with at least one bearing side (tile, terrazzo, brick, marble, granite,
concrete or ceramics shingle, stoneware...) The cutting tool is a diamond blade powered by an electric motor. The blade
can be used to dry cut or to water cooled cutting. The progress of the blade is handled manually by moving the rolling
cart holding the material to cut towards the rotating blade. The Handy model is manufactured using high quality
materials.
Any use other than the machine has been designed for is considered inappropriate
and can be dangerous; therefore, it is expressly prohibited.
The cutting blade can be lifted or lowered for different cutting depth.
The cutting lenght can be adjusted by approaching the cutting blade to the material to cut.
The rolling cart moves on wheels rolling on a ‘U’ shaped rail, to ensure perfect scrolling.
Four adjustable legs allow leveling the machine.
The Rolling cart features a graduated ruler for angle cutting.
The blade is protected with a guard including grooves for water cooling.
The electrical components of this machine comply with EU norms.
For transportation safety, the rolling cart is supplied with a bolt to lock it during transportation.
The rolling cart is designed with an anti-overturn system to avoid the cart from falling or turning when the
materials to cut exceed the cart dimensions and are not supported elsewhere.
The machine features a dust collecting system assisted by vacuum cleaner.
This machine model is built according to EU directives.
All motor bearings are mounted with a degree of sealing to ensure long life to its elements

4ELECTRICAL PLUGING AND ADJUSTING THE DISK DIRECTION OF
ROTATION.
Upon receipt of the machine, make sure the network electrical tension is adequate before plugging the
machine. The electrical tension is to be found on the voltage indication next to the switch of the machine.
WARNING: Never plug the machine to the main supply
without making sure that the power tension is compatible
with the machine specifications. Otherwise the motor
would suffer irreparable damages.
Once you have gone through the previous steps it is necessary to check and adjust the rotation of the motor axis
correctly: you have to plug the machine to the main supply and start it up, making sure that the blade rotates clockwise.
If necessary, you can change the rotation direction swapping the two phase wires in the aerial or in the peg of the
feeding extension cord. Please do it with the machine unplugged.
WARNING: Never manipulate power supply cables or any other electrical
equipment on the machine before making sure that the machine is totally
unplugged from the electricity supply.
WARNING: Unplug the machine from the network before proceeding to
change the position of the bridge plates on the engines. You should also
proceed to change the stickers indicating the supply voltage, so there will
always be indicated on the machine rated voltage.
5ELECTRICAL SCHEME.
The electrical equipment of the tablesawshas an IP54 protection degree.
The switch of this machine is equipped with an under voltage trip device to prevent an unwanted start of the
machine. In case of a supply cut or a voltage drop causing the machine to stop, once the power supply has been
restored the machine will not get started again until the start green button is pushed.
WARNING: The three phase cutters are prepared to operate at 400 V by default.
WARNING: Should it be necessary to use a three phase power
input of 230 V, please, connect the bridge plates in the motor
terminal box as in the picture below.
WARNING: when using an extension cable to feed the machine, this cable should have a minimum section as
in the table below.

6SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS.
All machines with an electric motor must be always plugged in
a standardized electric board equipped with a magneto thermal
switch and a differential switch in accordance with the motor
features. Please, refer to the table below.
VERY IMPORTANT: Always use earth plugs before starting-up the machine.
Use normalized cables.
Make sure the feeding voltage is in accordance with the voltage indicated in the adhesive label on the machine.
Make sure that the extension cords are not in contact with points of high temperature, oil, water, sharp edges.
Do not use high pressure water to clean circuits or electrical elements.
The damaged electrical cables should be urgently replaced.
Mantengan en su posición los elementos y protecciones de seguridad.
Always use approved protective items (gloves, helmet, goggles, boots ... ..)
Turn the machine on the network and do not handle or operate on the mechanical and electrical machine with
the engine running.
Cutting table machines should be used by people who are familiar with its operation.
It´s not allow to access and manipulation of the machine to people who are not familiar with the machine
before.
Work clothes should not include loose clothing that could get caught in moving parts of the machine.

8CUTTING BLADE ASSEMBLY AND DISASSAMBLY.
This cutting machine has been designed to use either segmented or continuous rim diamond blades with either
Ø300 or Ø350 mm. Depending on the materials to cut the choice of the right blade will help to increase their endurance
and performance while obtaining a better cutting.
Please, make sure that the máximum turns per minute indicated on the blade are higher than the maximum
turns per minute of the machine motor.
The cutting blade is one of the key elements in a cutting machine. A blade in good conditions is Paramount to
achieve an optimal performance from the machine. It will need to be substituted when it goes worn, twisted or cracked.
Do not use any type of blade other than the ones specified in this manual, and make sure that it has the required
features related to maximum diameter, bore diameter and maximun speed (t.p.m.)
Please bear in mind that there are different types diamond blades that must be used depending the material
that needs cutting. Always choose the one that suits better to that material.
SIMA always recommends to use original SIMA blades that comply with the norms in their technical and safety
features. SIMA offers a wide range to cover all most extended types of cutting, therefore ensuring the right choice.
8.1 MOUNTING OR REPLACING A BLADE.
To mount or replace a blade, please follow the instructions below:
Check that the electric supply cable is not plugged in the machine.
Remove the blade guard (P, Fig.3) from the machine cutting head by loosening the locking nuts (A, Fig.3)
Insert the hexagonal spanner (E Fig. 3) in the nut (D Fig. 3). Block the blade shaft from turning by inserting
the straight key in the housing at its end (C, Fig.3), loosen up the nut in the shaft and remove the outer flange
(F, Fig.3). WARNING: the nut turns clockwise to loosen up.
Place the blade on the motor shaft making sure that it is well centered and perfectly inserted to the end of
the shaft. Once more, make sure that the blade will turn on the right direction. The arrow embossed on the
blade must coincide the direction of the arrow engraved on the blade guard. Then, put the external flange back
into place and tighten up the shaft nut using the same keys again.
Check the perfect coupling of the blade and flanges before completely tightening the nut up.
Replace the blade guard in its right position and tighten up the nuts to fix it to the cutting head.
To remove the blade, proceed all the way around.
WARNING: make sure that all the tools used to set the machine up have been duly removed from the
working area before connecting the machine, checking that all the machine parts have been placed in
the right position.
Now, you can plug the machine to the power supply.
