Brief Introduction
1. Description
CT-300 is an easy-to-use and powerful manual cutting machine that can be used with Ф300mm and Ф
350mm cutting blades. It can handle the cutting of the specimens of various shapes, sizes, and complex
materials. The push-up safety door design makes putting samples into the cutting chamber easy and fast.
Powerful motors and ergonomic cutting arms allow for efficient and smooth cutting. The simple and clean
operator panel allows any operator to cut workpieces quickly and efficiently with minimal training.
2. Features
Adopts high-power motor (5.5Kw) to make the cutting more powerful and labor-saving;
Cast aluminum base, integrated worktable, strong rigidity, making cutting more stable;
Extra large working surface and operating space for faster specimen clamping;
The simple and clean operator panel allows any operator to learn how to use quickly;
Enlarged cooling pipes for more adequate cooling.
3. Cautions
Please read this manual carefully before operating this equipment. And strictly follow this manual to operate.
For damage to the equipment caused by not following the process of the manual is not covered by the company's
warranty regulations. This manual is only for users who own this machine.
4. Restrictions
CT300 is only used as a cutting equipment for metallographic specimens. Untrained or non-metallographic
personnel are prohibited from operating this equipment.
The equipment can be cleaned with the equipped water gun, and the operator needs to wear goggles to
prevent splashing water or debris from entering the eyes.
It is strictly forbidden to cut flammable and explosive materials and materials that are harmful to the human
body, and it is also strictly forbidden to generate flammable and explosive dust during the cutting process. Cutting
fluid is required to avoid burns during cutting.
The debris generated during the cutting process can easily accumulate in the water tank or cooling pipeline,
requiring regular manual cleaning and maintenance by the user.

Overcurrent
protection
1.The cutting speed is too fast;
2.Unsuitable cutting blades that
do not cut;
3.The sample is not firmly
clamped, which is loose during
the cutting and leads to the
clamping of the blade.
Replace the appropriate
cutting blade;
3.Check the fixture or
workpiece, re-clamp the
workpiece, and consider
adding auxiliary fixtures for
special-shaped workpieces;

Smaller cooling
water volume
1.The water pump does not work;
2.Low water level in the tank;
1.Open the door of the
electrical box and check
whether the corresponding
circuit breaker is tripped for
protection;
2. Add cooling water;
3
Water gun does
not spray water
1.Low water level in the tank;
2.The flushing electric valve is
damaged;
1.Add cooling water;
2.Replace the electric valve;

Daily or every
8 hours
1. Use the water gun to clean the debris in the cutting
chamber/workbench; especially the debris accumulated
in the downspout area, must be cleaned up in time.
2. Check whether there is debris in the sink and clean
it up in time; avoid not cleaning for a long time, the
debris will harden and block the sink.
3. Clean the debris in the filter bag; depending on the
frequency of cutting, it may be necessary to clean the
filter bag after 2 hours of continuous cutting.
4. Check the water level in the tank and add cooling
water if the water level is too low.
5. Move the table cutter in X direction, turn the table
hand wheel to move the table left and right to flush the
debris under the table. It also avoids the deformation of
the slider due to long-term unidirectional force after the
worktable stays in one position for a long time.
6. Turn off the main power.

Once a week
1. Clean the water tank, replace with new cooling
water if necessary, and add cutting fluid .
2. Use a grease gun to add grease to the clamp and
the bearing housing under the spindle motor.
3. Check whether the fixture can be clamped.
4. Check if the emergency stop switch is normal.
