TECHNICAL SUPPORT: PRODUCT ADVICE NEVER FORCE CUTTING AND ALLOW THE BLADE AND THE MOTOR TORQUE OF THE MACHINE TO DO THE WORK • Make sure the water pump is properly immersed before use. • Clean the water pump and the water tray right after use to avoid the formation of a solid deposit, to work in full safety and increase the lifespan of the machine. • On tile saws, make sure that the dividing knife (blade guard support) is properly aligned with the diamond blade to avoid the blocking and the break-in of the tiles. • Always slow down the infeed speed at the end of the cut to avoid breaking the tile and to obtain a satisfactory quality of cut. For optimum results, we recommend that you equip your Norton Clipper machines with Norton Clipper diamond blades, designed specially for wet cutting of tiles. FULL DEPTH OR FIXED CUTTING In full depth or fixed cutting, the cutting head is locked in a fixed position and the material is pushed into it as shown. This technique usually provides greater efficiency than merely holding the head down. It works well with wet diamond blades cutting some soft materials. It is less efficient overall than the “Step Cutting” method for most materials, especially when using abrasive blades. MULTIPLE STEP CUTTING Multiple step cutting consists of moving the conveyor cart with the material to be cut backwards and forwards under the rotating blade. • Place the material to be cut on the conveyor cart firmly against the cutting guide and the backstop, keeping hands well away from the blade. TILE SAW ADVICE THE DIFFERENT SEGMENT SHAPES MASONRY SAW CUTTING METHODS TT180 BM 1 2 3 310 The gullets (space between the segments) help to extract cutting dust and cool the blade. They also offer the blade a little flexibility to prevent cracks developing when used in demanding conditions. Ideal for concrete, reinforced concrete, asphalt and all building materials. Continuous rim blades are required for a good quality finish. The flat continuous surface means there are no shocks against the material that could create chips in the workpiece. This type of blade is particularly suitable for tiles that need a perfect finish. When the material is extremely hard a more aggressive cut is needed, so a corrugated continuous rim is the best fit. This design gives small shocks to the workpiece when tackling the hardest tiles and building materials. Suitable for ceramic and porcelain tiles, granite, roof tiles and other hard materials.
