concealed wiring or plumbing in the area where you are  
cutting.  
A decal on top of the blade guard  
shows the direction of rotation of  
the blade.  
Before you start cutting, make sure that any wiring in  
your working area is not carrying current.  
Pro t e ct ive e q u ip m e n t  
The following protective equipment must be  
used when working with the floor saw.

wear hearing protection.  
3. Preparations before starting  
Do not tilt, twist or carry the floor saw when the blade is  
turning.  
NOTE! Follow the safety precautions.  
Do not fit a blade without first checking the direction of rota-  
tion of the drive shaft.  
Plan your work and mark out the area to be cut.  
Check that the power cable and polarity match the speci-  
fications. See section 9 Technical specifications.  
Check that the water-cooling coupling matches the speci-  
fications. See section 9 Technical specifications.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  
Set up a barrier or signs around the working area to  
prevent any unauthorised personnel from being injured  
or disturbing the operator while working.  
Connect the power cable to the power socket.  
Connect the water-cooling hose to the coupling that runs  
from the blade guard.  
Check the belt tension as described in section 5.3. Adjust  
if necessary using the belt tensioning screw. Turning  
clockwise tightens the belts.  
Check that the water supply is adequate and that the  
nozzle is not blocked.  
Make sure that the power cable and water-cooling hose  
from the floor saw will not get trapped underneath or in  
front of the machine when you start up or during cutting.  
Before you start cutting, plan your work and clearly mark  
out the area you intend to cut so that you can carry out  
the work without risk of injury or damage to the machine.  
See figure 3.1.  
Use the safety equipment specified in the safety precau-  
tions on page 5.  
To avoid interruptions and inconvenience during cutting,  
plan your work so that you fit the blade on the most suita-  
ble side of the saw right from the start.  
Figure 3.1.  
Check that you have the right diamond blade for the  
FS 1000 EM and the material you intend to cut.  
See section 9 Technical specifications.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
Do not cut on a steep  
incline as the blade  
could jam.  
Make sure that you are not  
working on a floor that  
could give way underne-  
ath you.  
Check the direction of rotation before fitting the blade.  
Raise the blade guard on the side where you want to fit  
the blade. Secure the blade guard with the retaining  
strap. Connect the power cable and press the switch to  
start the machine. Check that the blade flange rotates in  
the direction shown by the arrow on the blade guard. If  
the flange rotates in the wrong direction, turn off the  
switch to stop the machine, then unplug the power cable  
from the machine. Change the setting of the phase inverter  
on the control panel. Stop the machine as described  
above and recheck.  
WARNING  
Do not use the saw where  
there is a risk of collapse.  
Check that the blade is not worn; each of the diamond  
segments must project at least 1 mm. They must also be  
wider than the body of the blade. See figure 6.3.  
4. Starting and operating  
Before starting and operating the saw follow the steps in  
section 3.  
Check that none of the diamond segments is damaged.  
Lower the alignment guide and adjust it so that the tip of  
the guide and the saw blade are in line.  
Fit the blade so that the arrow on the body of the blade  
matches the direction of rotation of the shaft. Tighten  
the blade flange using the pin spanner supplied, while  
using the other spanner to prevent the blade shaft from  
turning. See the instructions in section 6, Fitting and  
replacing diamond blades.  
Clear away any objects from the path of the machine that  
could damage the machine or the surroundings.  
Check that there are no unauthorised people inside the  
working area, i.e. 4 metres in front of and to the side of  
the machine.  
Lower the blade guard over the blade.  
Make sure that anyone who has to remain nearby is  
wearing hearing protection.  
Check that the blade is straight by turning the blade by  
hand and measuring the gap between the blade and the  
blade guard. If the blade is misaligned or uneven it must  
be replaced.  
Release the parking brake.  
Line up the floor saw with the cutting line you have  
marked on the floor.  
Check that both the blade guard and the blade flange  
guard are correctly fitted, then lower them.  
Check that the saw blade rotates freely.  
Make sure the emergency stop is not deactivated. The  
emergency stop must not be deactivated during operation.  
Check your safety equipment and any protective clothing  
you are wearing.  
Before starting the floor saw, raise the blade so that it  
rotates without touching the surface.  
Apply the parking brake.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  
Lower the base plate by raising the safety catch.  
Keep the machine's drive belts free of oil, dirt and dust.  
Check the belt tension regularly as described below. If the  
belts require tensioning, use the adjuster screw in front of  
the drive motor. Turn this clockwise to tighten the belts.  
See figures 5.2.2 and 5.3.  
Turn on the cooling water to provide adequate cooling  
and prevent dust formation.  
Release the parking brake, while holding the guide hand-  
le on the machine with your other hand. (CAUTION! Do  
not hold the feed knob if you do not have full control  
over the machine.) NOTE! Do not stand in front of the  
machine.  
Check the condition of the diamond blade regularly to  
make sure it is not damaged or worn down. Replace the  
blade when the segments are worn down or have become  
narrower than the body of the blade.  
Turn the height adjustment wheel clockwise to lower the  
blade to a depth that is suitable for the material you are  
cutting, but no less than 20 mm.  
Check that the water supply is working correctly. If not,  
clean the nozzle. See figure 5.2.1.  
Regularly check that electrical wiring and couplings are in  
good condition and that all screws are tight.  
Cut a guide slot at this depth, moving steadily along your  
marked line. When you have completed the guide slot,  
turn the wheel to raise the blade, turn off the cooling  
water and stop the saw by pressing the red switch. Drag  
the machine back to the starting point.
