•The guard provided with the tool must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. Position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
•Just because an accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
•The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool.
•Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side

tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and
installing the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel
and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally
break apart during this test time.
•Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable
of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss.
•Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment.
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
•Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
•Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.
•Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel
may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
•Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
•Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
•Sparks could ignite these materials.
Kickback and related warnings
•Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the wheel’s rotation at the point of the binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel
is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can
dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either
jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point
of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of power
tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
•
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
•Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
•Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.

R16 High Frequency Ring Saw & P8000 Power Converter Operations Manual | 6
•Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
Cut-O Machine Safety Warnings - Additional Safety Rules
WARNING: Avoid cutting in the upper quadrant of the blade, especially when beginning the cut. This
area is highly likely to lead to kickback.
WARNING: When cutting plastics, do not allow the plastic to melt. If the plastic melts, it can stick to the
blade, leading to kickback.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The network voltage must conform to the voltage indicated on the tool name plate. Under no
circumstances should the tool be used when the power supply cable is damaged. A damaged cable
must be replaced immediately by an authorized Customer Service Center. Do not try to repair the
damaged cable yourself. The use of damaged power cables can lead to an electric shock.
WARNING: Never operate a damaged machine. Always tag a damaged machine and take it out of
service until repairs can be made.
The connection between the power converter and the motor is by a special motor coupling cable. To connect,
unscrew the cap, align the tangs, push in, and screw on the collar. Take care to avoid bending the pins. Keep the
cap on when not in use. Do not alter this plug in any way.
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback.
•Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
•
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
•
hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
•Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
•Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece
near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
•Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

3 Phase Power:
Ideally, the power converter should be supplied with 380V to 480V three phase power for maximum
performance. If the plug does not match the available outlet, a suitable plug can be mounted by a qualified
electrician.
Single Phase Power
In situations where 3 phase power is not available, this machine may also be run on 220V to 240V single phase
power with slightly reduced power. Use the single phase adaptor cable. Using the single phase adaptor cable,
the current is limited to 16A.
If more power is needed, and a 32A or larger breaker is available, the main plug may be removed, and the
converter's main power supply cable may be directly wired to the breaker. In this case, connect the L1 and
L2 wires to the breaker, leaving the L3 wire unconnected. Then connect the earth (ground) wire to the earth
connection.
NOTE: The above action may only be performed by a qualified electrician.

About Diamond Blades
Diamond blades consist of a steel core with diamond segments added to its periphery.
Diamond blades are available for dierent hardnesses of masonry materials, stone, concrete, reinforced
concrete, etc.
This machine must always be used with water, since it requires water for converter and motor cooling.
Water will prevent the blade from overheating, greatly reduce the amount of harmful dust created by cutting,
remove the slurry from the cut, and extend the life of the blade.
The diamond impregnated segments operate on a principle of controlled erosion. The bond matrix holding
the diamonds is continually worn away by abrasion with the workpiece, exposing the harder diamonds to
ASSEMBLY
•Mount the blade. ( See below “Mounting the Blade”)
DIAMOND BLADES
Allowed Types Of Blades
This machine may only use diamond ring saw blades.
•Only use either segmented or continuous rim diamond blades.
•If the diamond blades are segmented, the maximum allowable peripheral gap between segments is
10mm and must be with a negative rake angle.
•Only diamond ring saw blades of 400mm (15-3/4") diameter of the 3 groove style (Hycon type) may be
used.
Blade Storage And Transport
Store the machine and blade in such a way that it is protected from being bent or damaged when the machine
is not in use.
A damaged blade can cause irregular conditions, which can cause imbalance and result in a hazard.
Always inspect new blades for storage or transport damage.
R16 RING SAW AND P8000 POWER CONVERTER INTRODUCTION
This machine is a special, high frequency PMSM power tool which must be used in conjunction with its high
frequency power converter for its power supply. This converter takes 220 to 480V, 50Hz or 60Hz, single or three
phase supply and converts it to up to 600Hz for use with the motor. Connection between the converter and
motor is made by a motor coupling cable with special plug. The converter has a three phase power supply plug
and a single phase adaptor plug for use with single phase supply. Maximum performance is obtained using
380V to 480V, three phase power supply. Performance will be reduced when using 220V to 240V three phase or
single phase supply due to electrical current limitations.
This machine is equipped with two handles and a blade guard. It has an integrated water feed system as
required for cooling and diamond cutting. The power converter has a built-in residual current device (RCD)
for electrical safety as well as overload, thermal, under voltage and over voltage protection. It must only be
used with a diamond blade. It is intended for cutting masonry, stone, concrete, reinforced concrete and similar
materials. All other uses are prohibited.

R16 High Frequency Ring Saw & P8000 Power Converter Operations Manual | 9
stand proud from the bond matrix. Blades made for cutting harder materials will have a softer bond, allowing
the diamonds project more aggressively (but will not last as long). Blades made for cutting softer, abrasive
materials will have a harder bond, allowing them to resist the abrasiveness of the material and to last longer.
Without enough erosion of the bond matrix (the diamonds not exposed) and the blade becomes dull . This is
called glazing . If the blade seems to refuse to cut anymore, it is glazed.
See below: ”Sharpening a Glazed Blade”
Never use a sharp motion or the blade will be damaged. Conversely, don’t feed too gently or the diamond
segments will become glazed. Keep the blade steadily working.
Take great care to keep the blade perpendicularly aligned to the kerf. If the blade is crooked, it will easily bind.
When cutting reinforced concrete, if embedded steel is encountered, take special care. Reduce the feed
pressure by about 1/3 and let the blade go at its own pace, if there is too much vibration the blade may be
destroyed. Once the steel is passed, continue normally.
WARNING: Never use blades for cutting a material other than the material they were intended for.
SHARPENING A GLAZED BLADE
Diamond blades may become glazed (dull). Once the diamond segments are glazed, the blade’s cutting
performance will degrade and the segments will overheat. To resharpen the blade, turn down the water
feed and make a few cuts in a very soft, abrasive material such as brick or an alumina oxide or silicon carbide
dressing stone.
MOUNTING THE BLADE
First make sure that the machine is unplugged.
1. Loosen the drive tensioner knob fully.
2. Loosen the thumb knob and slide the drive wheel cover plate out of the way. Remove the drive wheel if it
is tted.
3. Loosen both guide tensioner knobs fully.
4. Fit the blade in position with its grooves facing the male grooves in the guide wheels.
5. Fit the drive wheel on the spindle. Using the face spanner wrench to immobilize the wheel, tighten the
arbor bolt using the T-handle box wrench.
6. Tighten one guide tensioner knob, just enough to keep the guide wheel from slipping on the blade.
(Wearing gloves, grab the blade and rotate it back and forth while holding the guide wheel to check that
it will not slip.) Do not over tension the guide tensioner. Overtensioning will unnecessarily increase
the load on the motor and increase wear on the mechanism. Repeat for the other guide tensioner.
7. Wearing gloves, grab the blade and rotate it back and forth while turning in the drive tensioner knob
until there is enough tension so that the blade is turning the drive wheel without skidding. Then tighten a
further 1/4 turn. Do not over tension.
8. Slide the drive wheel cover plate into position over the drive wheel and tighten the thumb knob.
NOTE: Always replace the drive wheel with a new one when replacing a worn blade. The drive wheel and
blade wear together and should be replaced as a set.

R16 High Frequency Ring Saw & P8000 Power Converter Operations Manual | 10
Inspect the blade before use. It must not be cracked, warped or damaged in any way that would cause a hazard
in operation. Loose diamond segments can be ejected at high speed, causing possible injury. Always check
that the diamond segments are not under cut. If the diamond segments are thinner or nearly thinner than the
blade core, the kerf will be too tight tting and could easily lead to kickback.
Inspect the blades for segment damage, arbor hole damage or any other damage which could cause hazardous
operation.
SPLASH GUARDS
The spring-loaded splash guards are useful to help contain slurry which splashes toward the back. The upper
guard has an over-center spring which will lock into the fully open position if it is pulled all the way back. The
lower guard has a clip which can be used to lock the guard in the fully open position.
WATER CONNECTION
Water is a basic requirement for this tool and is essential for cooling
of the motor and converter. The water also serves as a coolant
to avoid the working surface of the diamond segments from
overheating. Water also keeps down dust and ushes away abrasive
particles.
The converter has 2 water connections. Connect the water supply to
either connection on the converter rst and then connect the other connection to the motor using the water
coupling hose.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE THIS TOOL WITHOUT WATER FLOW THROUGH BOTH THE CONVERTER AND
THE MOTOR.
It is designed to be water cooled and would quickly overheat without water.
WARNING: Check all connections of the water feed system to ensure there are no leaks. Inspect hoses
and other critical parts which could deteriorate.
WARNING: The maximum water pressure should not exceed 70 psi (4 bar).
Note: Use a wet vacuum to collect cooling water if nearby objects
could be damaged by water.
WATER FEED VALVE
The water ow is controlled by the water feed valve. The water to the
blade may be nely adjusted to the required amount.

NOTE: Contaminants in the water supply can easily plug up the ne water nozzles in the blade guard.
Ensure that the supply water is clean. If you nd that there is no water ow to the blade, then clean out
the water feed system on the machine with compressed air.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION, OVERHEAT PROTECTION
Overload & Load Warning Lamp
Whenever the motor is energized, and when it is operating comfortably within its load range, the load warning
lamp will be lit green.
Whenever the motor is energized, and when it is operating comfortably within its load range, the load warning
lamp will be lit green.
When the motor is operating near its full load range, the load warning lamp will ash red. If full load is
exceeded and sustained for too long, the motor will shut down and the
load warning lamp will glow solid red. In this case, the motor must be rst
shut o and then restarted.
NOTE: When using single phase power, the operator must be very
careful not to use too much force. One must make note of the load
warning lamp and try to keep within the the green range. Too much
load will draw too much current and easily trip the supply circuit
breaker.
Overheat Thermal Protection
If the temperature of the motor gets too high, the thermal protection will shut the motor down. The switch
must be rst shut o and then restarted. When this happens, do not immediately start cutting. Always rallow
cooling water to ow through the motor for a few minutes to return to a normal operating temperature
before continuing.

•Press the POWER button on the power converter to energize the motor. "ON" will be displayed on the
LCD screen and the Load Warning Lamp on the motor will be lit green. This indicates that the motor is
now live and may be operated by its trigger switch.
The Switch:
To start the machine, rst press the Release Button, then press the Trigger
Switch.
To stop the machine, release the Trigger Switch, then press the Power
Button on the power converter to de-energize the machine.
How to hold the machine
•Always hold the machine with both hands, with
the right hand on the main handle and with the
left hand on the side handle. (This applies even if
the operator is left-handed)
•Do not stand directly in line with the blade.
Rather, stand in such a way that, if it kicks back,
you will not be in the path of the blade.
•Never lean over the blade path. That would put your body in line with the blade if it kicks back.
•Do not cut above shoulder height.
•Never cut while standing on a ladder or other unstable platform.
Before cutting
•Check the area where the cut is to be made to ensure that it is clear of objects which could cause the
operator to stumble.
•Before cutting, it is sometimes useful to mark the line of cut with chalk or the like. For straight cutting, a
wood plank is also useful in guiding the machine to make a straight cut.
•Ensure that all bystanders are at a safe distance.
• Ensure that all safety equipment is in place.
Proper Support for the Workpiece
•Support the workpiece on in such a way that the
kerf will not pinch down on the blade.
•Secure the workpiece so that it will not roll, slip
away or move due to vibration while cutting
•The cutting sequence is important when making
cutouts. Always make the last cut in a way that
avoids the blade being pinched. Thus, make the

bottom horizontal cut rst, then the sides and nally make the top horizontal cut last.
•Make note of the weight of the workpiece and the direction which it will fall when it is cut through.
•Whenever there is a situation where severing the workpiece will cause a hazardous situation, leave a tab
of material intact and nish o the operation with a chisel or the like.
Cutting Technique
•Holding the machine with both hands to resist the start up torque, press the release button and then
squeeze the trigger switch.
•Allow the machine to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece.
•Adjust the water ow as needed by turning the water feed valve.
•Then gently begin the cut with the rear portion of the blade until the kerf is established.
•It’s a good idea to pre cut a guiding groove using a conventional circular diamond saw with a wide kerf
blade before proceeding to make the main ccut with the ring saw. This will save wear on the ring saw
blade. Take care to avoid the blade being pinched.
•In round workpieces, the best technique is to use a slow, uniform back and forth motion while cutting
with the bottom quadrant of the blade.
•Never side load the blade in the kerf.
Stopping
Release the trigger to stop the machine. After the trigger is released, the blade will continue spinning for a
short time. Once the machine is fully stopped, press the Power button on the power converter to de-energize
the motor.
WARNING: Do not set the machine down until the blade has stopped turning.
