5.1 Fit or replace diamond dry-
cutting discs
If the diamond cutter is used with two or several
diamond dry-cutting discs they should be swapped
over occasionally to ensure uniform wear. Unevenly
worn diamond dry-cutting discs should not be used
together.
The diamond cutter can also be used with only one
diamond dry-cutting disc.
Fitting and changing the diamond dry-
cutting discs for:
•
Place the first diamond dry-cutting disc (1) on
2
the drive shaft (3).
•
Note the rotational direction arrow on the
3
housing (6) and the diamond dry-cutting disc (9).
•
Place spacer discs (5) on the drive shaft (3)
2
depending on the required chase width.
•
Place the second diamond dry-cutting
2
disc (1) on the drive shaft (3).
•
Note the rotational direction arrow on the
3
housing (6) and the diamond dry-cutting disc (9).
This fitting step is omitted the tool is used with
one diamond dry-cutting disc only.
•
Place all the remaining spacer discs (5) on
2
the drive shaft (3). The drive shaft (3) must still
protrude, so that the washer (2) can be centred.
NOTE
The hole in the washer is off-centre.
•
/
Push on the washer (2). Match the thread
2
3
of the drive shaft (3) with the hole in the washer
(2).
NOTE
The hexagonal head screw has a left-hand thread.
•

Use the hexagon head screw (4) to screw
2
3
the washer (2) onto the drive shaft (3) (left-hand
thread).
•
Use an open-ended spanner size SW13 (8) to
3
tighten (10 Nm) the screw, at the same time use
the hook wrench (2) to hold the washer (7).
•
Check the fit of the diamond dry-cutting discs.
