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.

9STARTING-UP AND USING INSTRUCTIONS.
9.1 POSITION OF THE MACHINE AND THE OPERATOR; CONNECTION AND
DISCONNECTION
The machine must be installed on an even and stable Surface, free from obstacles and well lightened.
Before getting the machine started we need to check all the necessary elements (electrical connection, stability,
protective elements) as described in the previous sections.
The machine must be installed on an even surface, completely horizontal, and on stable and hard ground.
To start cutting, the operator must stand in front of the machine. In that position he will be able to easily move
the rolling cart with the piece to cut on top, and the electric supply switch will remain at hand.
Once the power supply cable is plugged in the motor will get started by pushing the Green start button.
When the red button is pushed the machine stop.
9.2 CUTTING BY TILTING THE CUTTING HEAD.
The machine can perform cuttings maintaining the Rolling cart fixed and tilting the cutting head down to cut.
This is how it should opérate for instance to cut interior windows in just one piece.
To perform this cut, the handle must be loosening up until the whole head is loose. The strain caused by the
spring will keep the cutting head up to the top. Then, the rolling cart with the material to cut will be pushed forward
until the material is under the blade: then use the handle to pull the head down to cut.
The strength used to push will depend on the hardness of the material and the cutting depth.

12
ENGLISH
9.3 FRONT CUTTING.
First, block the cutting head by tightening up the
crank. Then, push the cart with the piece to cut on
top until it gets close to the running blade. Keep
pushing accordingly to the material hardness and
the cutting depth.
9.4 VACUUM CLEANER CONNETION.
The machine is equipped with a nozzle to connect it to a vacuum cleaning system, in order to collect and get
rid of the dust and other waste caused by the cutting.
ONLY DUST VACUUM CLEANER: Do not cut with water if your vacuum cleaner is just for dust.
DUST AND LIQUID VACUUM CLEANER: You can use it for both, dry and wet cutting.
9.5 GETTING STARTED.
1. Place the machine on a flat well illuminated location. Use the adjustable legs to ensure the estability while
using the machine.

10.2 ALIGNING THE BLADE WITH THE RAILS.
This operation will require using a rod of Ø 4 to 5 mm and 250 mm long, with one end sharpened like a pencil. A piece
of ceramic tile and White chalk will be needed too. Then, proceed as followes:
oUnplug the machine from the power source.
oRemove the guard and the blade.
oPut the tile on the rolling cart (the enamel side downwards), and draw a line with chalk on other tile side, dividing
it in two halves.
oPut the rod between the blade clamps so the sharpened point meets the chalk line drown on the back of the tile
piece. Tighten up the nut on the motor shaft.
oPush the Rolling cart so the rod will trace a straight line on the lile.
oThen turn the motor shaft to shift the rod to the opposite side and pull the cart back to draw a new line, which
should match the first one. If both lines would not match, then loosen up the screws that hold the motor, tap on
the motor shaft on the side that demands correction and repeat the process until the two lines drawn by the rod
coincide. Then tighten up the screws of the motor.
