STARTING UP
Always pay extreme care and attention to the
preparation of the machine before starting up.
Remove all adjustment tools and wrenches.
Adopt a comfortable and balanced position.
•
For Wet Cutting:
*
Fill tank [maximum water lever to reach base of
rails: 13 to 14 gal (50 l)].
*
Immerse pump in tank.
•
Once the water tank has been filled (maximum level),
start by turning the switch to position "1" (the water
pump will start with the motor).
•
If the machine possesses a circuit-breaker, stopping
and starting are carried out by push-buttons.
In order to avoid dust and heating of the blade,
each machine is fitted with a self-
priming water pump for a more efficient blade
cooling. As soon as the machine is started,
the blade is cooled.
The protecting guard and motor support with
its deflectors ensure a correct water spray.

ADJUSTMENTS
Always disconnect the saw from the power
source before making adjustments.
•
The STONELITE has been fully aligned and adjusted
before leaving our factory.
•
However, in the event of knocks, loosening of bolts,
rough handling when pivoting the head:
*
Lock the lock-nut (adjustment on front and rear
arms).
*
To correct the adjustment to 90°:
I
Loosen head tilting lock knobs (Fig. 4 - G).
I
Loosen jam nut on 90° adjustment screws
(Fig. 3 - K).
I
Check angle with square adjusting screws as
needed.
I
Retighten jam nuts to secure adjustment.
*
To correct the adjustment to 45° :
I
Adjust screws (Fig. 3 - L) at both ends
following same procedure as for 90°.
•
Adjustment of cutting head to rail (See figure below)
*
This adjustment is necessary only when rollers
(D) are not making contact with the rail. NOTE:
Proper contact points of rollers (D) are shown
to be 1 & 2.
I
Loosen the four (4) screws (A) on side
opposite of the blade.
I
Install two (2) adjustment screws (C)
(Capscrew, Hex Head M6 x 20 are not
supplied) into threaded holes on vertical side
of bearing cover opposite of the blade.
I
Tighten screws (C), pushing on the bearing
brace to remove clearance at contact point
(1).
I
Should the adjustment not be possible,
replace the eight (8) rollers (D) and the four
(4) rubber washers (E).
I
Tighten the four (4) screws (A). Check the
clearance, remove the adjusting screws (C).
I
Roll cutting head the full length of the beam
(R), so as to check the adjustment for best
clearance and travel.
I
Readjust, if necessary.
