Using The Wall Chaser With Only One Diamond Cutting Blade; Depth Of Cut; Stone-Dust Extraction; Switching The Wall Chaser On And Off - Metabo MFE 30 Manuel D'utilisation

02_ENG_MFE30_6690
ENGLISH
The direction of rotation of the diamond cutting
blades is indicated by arrows on both the blades
and guard (9).
Lock the spindle by pressing the spindle-lock
button (12), then tighten the clamping nut (11) with
the pin spanner.
Then
– swing guard (9) and guide shoe (10) back,
– turn hex. socket head cap screw (3) back in and
– tighten the hex. socket head cap screw (7)
7 Using the wall chaser
with only one diamond
cutting blade
If the front diamond cutting blade is removed and
only the rear blade left in place the wall chaser is
also suitable for parting cuts (e.g. for tiles).

Depth of cut

After loosening the star-knob screw (4) the wall
chaser can be set to any desired depth of cut
between 0 mm and 30 mm (against scale 1).
Tighten the star-knob screw again after depth of
cut setting.

Stone-dust extraction

For extraction of the dust generated when chases
are cut, the suction hose 30 344 (4 m) is inserted
into the seat of the dust port (5). The bayonet joint
prevents the unintentional loosening of the hose
when working with the tool.
When using a second suction hose 30 344, the
dust collector can be placed up to 8 m away from
the jobsite.
To connect a suction hose without a bayonet joint
use the connection adapter supplied with the tool.
Caution! Never use the wall chaser without
dust extraction, as the motor would quickly
become clogged by the stone dust.

10 Switching the wall chaser
ON and OFF
To switch ON, the slide switch (13) is pushed
forward until it engages. To the rear of the slide
switch the symbol "I" appears.
The wall chaser is operational when the LED (6),
which lights up shortly after switching on, goes off.
To switch OFF, press down on the rear (the raised
end in the "I" position) end of the slide switch (13)
(position "0").
11 Working with the
wall chaser
The handle (2) can be adjusted after loosening the
hexagon head screw (14). Set handle to desired
position and tighten hexagon head screw again.
At the rear end of the guide shoe (10) is a
triangular marking (8). This marking is in line with
the rear diamond cutting blade and serves as
cutting position indicator when cutting
chases.
Place the wall chaser (with motor running) with the
guide shoe (10) onto the surface the chase is to
be cut into and slowly push down until the preset
depth of cut is reached.
Then pull the wall chaser in the direction of cut,
e.g. from top to bottom as shown in figure A
(page 4) or – with horizontal cuts – towards the
operator, as in figure B (page 4).
The rib remaining between the two cuts is
removed with the clearing tool supplied.
Deep chases in hard material (e.g. concrete)
can not be cut in a single pass.

12 Overload protection

12.1

Safety clutch

Integrated into the wall chaser's gearbox is an
automatic safety clutch. It protects the operator
from the high torque generated if the diamond
cutting blades should jam. At the same time the
safety clutch protects and frees the wall chaser's
motor and gear box.
If the safety clutch responds switch OFF
immediately (do not let the clutch ride!)
12.2

Electronic overload protection

In the event of a very high, brief overload the
integrated overload protection limits the power
input to prevent a further inadmissible temperature
rise of the motor.
