1. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
!
Carefully read the safety manual before using the machine.
Before leaving the factory, every machine is submitted to a
series of tests in which everything is thoroughly checked.
RUBI is constantly working on the development of its
machines; and therefore reserves the right to be able to make
any modifications it feels to be appropriate, and therefore
no claims can be made on the basis of the information and
illustrations shown in this manual.
1.1 Applications
The ND-180 diamond blade cutter is a technologically
advanced product, suitable for cutting ceramic materials,
including especially hard ones. Its unique operational system
using a wet blade is able to eliminate all of the dust produced
during the cutting process. The machine is suitable for making,
with a high degree of comfort, straight, miter and special cuts;
with the major advantages in terms of the dimensions, weight
and handling of the machine of being considered a portable
product.
1.2 Assembly
Remove the machine from its packaging and check none of
the parts have been damaged. If they have, replace them with
original spare parts. If any components need changing, only
use the manufacturer's original spare parts, otherwise the GS
Mark may nolonger be valid.
Prepare a stable surface and clear it of any other materials for
use as a surface for supporting the machine.
Recommended working temperatures should be between 5 and
40 ° C and between 0.8 and 1.1 bar. (maximum humidity 95%).
1.3 Connection
Check that the nameplate ratings for the voltage and frequency
of the machine are the same as those of the electricity supply.
The intake of current must include an earth connection and
protection against electrical faults (Differential). When using an
extension lead, check that the wire is no thinner than 2.5 mm2.
In carriage, roll up the supply cable. Never pull the wire to
move the machine.
1.4 Installing the blade
Disassemble the blade's protective casing.
Using a 8 mm spanner keep the motor axis locked. Using a
19 mm spanner, unscrew the lock nut from the blade flange,
and position the disk while carefully checking the direction
of its rotation.
Each tool is clearly marked with an arrow that indicates the
direction of rotation.
Now assemble the blade's protective casing.
Position the upper protective cap of the blade, which protects
the user from possibly getting cut while working. So, when
making cuts, the cap should be adjusted depending on the
thickness of the piece to be cut.
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
WARNING
!
Before beginning any cutting operation, and while performing
the same, make sure that the water level is high enough to
cover the diamond part of the blade. Filling or refilling can
be done straight into the tank.
Periodically replace the water in the tank. Working with clean
water prolongs the useful life of the blade and improves its
performance.
Place the blade protection about half a centimeter above the
surface of the tile to be cut and lock the blade protection by
fully pressing in the bolt.
Move spanners and other tools well away before switching
on the machine.
2.1 Using the blade
 Do not use scratched or cracked diamond blades.
 Do not stop the blades using lateral pressure.
 At the end of a day's work, empty the machine of water, as
prolonged immersion can deteriorate the blade.
2.2 Flat surface cutting
 Position the cutting guide and lock it by fully pressing in the knobs.
 Correct fastening of the blade will help you make repeated
and more precise cuts.
 Advance at a speed that is proportional to the blade's
cutting capacity. That way you will be able to ensure
that no materials come off that could cause accidents
or injury.
2.3 45º cutting (miter)
 Place the movable surface at 45º and lock it using the
positionable handles.
 Position the cutting guide about 2 mm from the diamond
blade and lock it by fully pressing in the knobs.
 Position the tile with the enamel surface facing the work
surface and make sure that the diamond blade does not
come into contact with the enamel of the tile.
 If necessary, correct the position of the cutting guide.
2.4 Switching on
 When the machine is used outside, only use extension cords that
are designed for outside use.
 Make sure that the switch is in the 'off' position when plugging
in the machine.
 The machine is started by pressing the green or I button, and is
switched off by pressing the red or 0 button.
 Once the machine is on, wait until the motor speed stabilizes (2
or 3 seconds) before starting to cut.
 The machine is tted with a safety system against overheating of
the motor, so if it stops running for no apparent reason, wait a
few minutes for the safety system to be deactivated, as it is highly
probable that it has been overforced and you should therefore
moderate the advance of the cut.
 If the disc is mounted incorrectly, proceed to stop the machine
and re-assemble
.
