Start And Stop; Operating; When Taking A Break - Chicago Pneumatic SAW 14 Instrucciones De Seguridad Y Funcionamiento

Safety and operating instructions

Start and stop

Starting
1. Connect the hoses and couplings.
2. Mount the cut-off saw in the cart (if a cart is to
be used).
3. Start the power source.
4. Activate the water supply or the dust collector,
if they are being used.
5. Place the cut-off saw at a right angle to the
surface to be cut and activate the trigger.
Stoping
1. Release the trigger. Keep a firm grip on the
cut-off saw, until the cutting blade has come to
a complete stop.
2. It can take up to ten seconds for the cutting
blade to stop completely.
3. Stop the power source.
4. Disconnect the hoses and fit the protective caps
to the quick-release couplings.

Operating

NOTICE Diamond blades can become dull when
the wrong feeding pressure is used or when cutting
in certain materials, such as heavily reinforced
concrete. Working with a blunt diamond blade
causes overheating, which can result in diamond
segments coming loose. Sharpen the blade by
cutting in a soft material such as sandstone or brick.
NOTICE The blade can become out-of-round and
vibrate if an excessive feeding pressure is used. A
lower feeding pressure can stop the vibration.
Otherwise replace the blade. The blade must be of
the recommended type for the material to be cut.
Cutting
The technique described below is of a general
character. Check information for each cutting blade
regarding individual cutting characteristics (for
example, diamond blades require less feeding
pressure than abrasive discs).

♦ During operation the working zone must be
cleared.
♦ Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both
hands. Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip
round the handles.
Stand in a stable position with your feet well away
♦
from the cutting blade.
Check that the cutting blade is not in contact with
♦
anything when the machine is started.
Always cut at maximum speed. Check regularly
♦
that the speed of the cutting blade is not higher
than what is marked on it.
Support the workpiece in such a way, that the cut
♦
slot would open up during the cutting process.
Never grind with a cutting disc.
♦
♦ Start cutting smoothly, allowing the machine to
work without forcing or pressing in the blade.
♦ Move the blade slowly forwards and backwards
to achieve a small contact area between the blade
and the material to be cut. This reduces the
temperature of the blade and ensures effective
cutting.
Feed the machine down in line with the blade.
♦
♦ The cutting blade guard must be adjusted so that
the rear section is in line with the work piece.
Splinters and sparks from the material being cut
are then collected by the guard and led away from
the operator. Make sure that sparks do not land
on clothing.
♦ If the cutting blade gets jammed in a cut, shut off
the grinder and ease the wheel free. Before
continue make sure it is not damaged.

When taking a break

During all breaks you must place the machine in
♦
such a way that there is no risk for it to be
unintentionally started. Make sure to place the
machine on the ground, so that it can not fall.
In the event of a longer break or when leaving the
♦
workplace: Switch off the power supply and then
bleed the machine by activating the start and stop
device.
