•Set up a barrier or signs around the working area to prevent any unauthorised personnel from being injured or disturbing the operator while working.
•Check the belt tension as described in section 5.5. Adjust if necessary using the belt tensioning screw. Turning clockwise tightens the belts.
•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.
•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.
•Check that you have the correct diamond blade for the FS800 E/EM and the material you intend to cut. See section 9 Technical specifications.
•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. Turn the phase inverter in the socket. Stop the machine as described above and recheck.
•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.
•Check that none of the diamond segments is damaged.
•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. See figure 6.1.
•Lower the blade guard over the blade.
•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.
•Check that both the blade guard and the blade flange guard are correctly fitted, then lower them.
•Make sure the emergency stop is not deactivated. The emergency stop must not be deactivated during operation.
•Before starting the floor saw, raise the blade so that it rotates without touching the surface.
•Connect the power cable to the power socket.
•Connect the

WARNING
Do not use the saw where there is a risk of collapse.
4. Starting and operating
Before starting and operating the saw follow the steps in section 3.
•Lower the alignment guide and adjust it so that the tip of the guide and the saw blade are in line.
•Release the parking brake.
•Line up the floor saw with the cutting line you have marked on the floor.
•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.
•Make sure that anyone who has to remain nearby is wearing hearing protection.
•Check that the saw blade rotates freely.
