 Overload protection: The machine has an overload protection device and automatically
switches off when overloaded. Release the trigger and remove the machine from the
work-piece, restart and run the machine at no-load for approximately one minute to cool

7.4 Adjusting the case width (Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7)
 The machine is supplied with four spacer rings (15) which are each approximately 10 mm
thick. The chase width can be adjusted by varying the amount of spacer rings fitted
between the diamond cutting discs. The chase width can be calculated by taking into
account the thickness of the spacer rings and the width of the diamond cutting discs. The
maximum chase width is approximately 44mm.
7.5 Dust extraction
 The machine may only be operated when connected to a suitable vacuum device, the
vacuum device must be approved for stone dust. A dust extraction adapter (3) is supplied,
ensure that the hose is securely attached to the adapter. Stop work immediately when the
vacuum device breaks down. Switch the machine off and restore the vacuum device. The
vacuum device must be suitable for the type of material you work with. Use a special
vacuum device when working with toxic materials or where toxic dust is produced. Use of
a household vacuum cleaner may damage your health.
 For best results use a wet and dry vacuum device fitted with an appropriate filter. If in
doubt seek expert advice.
