8. MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE CUTTING DISK
The DAKAR MK45 models are designed to use segmented diamond disks and continuous rim disks either 300
or 350 mm. The cutting disks have different properties depending on the material to cut. Hence, an adequate selection
of the disk increases the performance and guarantees a better result.
Make sure the maximal supported revolutions by the disk are equal or superior to those of the machine's engine.
The blade is one of the most important elements in a table saw. A blade in good condition is essential to achieve
optimal performance of the machine, replace worn or when it is twisted or cracked.
Do not use any other blade other than that specified in this manual and see which has the characteristics required
maximum diameter central hole diameter and the maximum speed supported.
Note that within the group of diamond blades are different types depending on the material being cut, always choose
the most appropriate for you.
For all the above, we recommend always using SIMA Original blades that meet the technical requirements and safety
requirements and are offered in a range that covers all the needs and facilitates the correct choice.
8.1 MOUNTING/REPLACING THE CUTTING DISK
The disk can be mounted or replaced as follows:
• Make sure the power supply cable of the machine is disconnected.
• Remove the disk safeguard (P, Fig. 3) of the cutting bridge of the machine loosening the screws that fix it. (A, Fig. 3)
• Introduce the hexagonal key (E Fig. 3) in the nut (D Fig. 3) Block the rotation of the axis inserting the pricker key
in the bore placed outside (C, Fig.3), untighten the axis nut and remove the outer bridle (F, Fig.3).
WARNING: The nut is left-threaded
• Place the disk on its axis ensuring it is well centralised and perfectly located.
• Place the exterior bridle back and tighten the axis nut using the set of keys used before.
• Check the coupling between the disk and the bridles before tightening the nut.
• Place the safeguard back in its position and tighten well the screws fixing the cutting head.
• To dismount the disk, proceed in the inverse sense.
WARNING: Remove all the used tools, making sure that all the elements of the machines have been
mounted in the correct position.
• You can plug the machine to the mains.
