IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Read Before Use: Before operating any B-Eames tool, read the complete user manual thoroughly. Understanding all safety procedures, operational guidelines, and maintenance requirements is essential for safe use.
Training Required: Ensure all operators have received proper training on tool operation. Never allow untrained personnel to use power tools. Supervision is required for new operators.
Modifications Prohibited: Never modify, alter, or disable any safety feature on B-Eames tools. Doing so voids all warranties and creates serious safety hazards.
Reporting: Report any safety concerns, tool defects, or near-miss incidents to B-Eames customer support immediately. Your feedback helps us improve product safety.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for precise, professional cuts every time.
1
Initial Guide Setup
Remove the B-Eames cutting guide from packging, ensuring that all four grub screws are in the place. Place the guide over the top face of the blade guard.
2
Guide Positioning
Position of the B-Eames cutting guide will be of personal preference based on optimised visibility of the laser on the guide face and getting a comfortable posture whilst holding the machine at the correct angle.
3
Laser Alignment
Place the cross hair laser in front of the disk cutter, ensuring the vertical line of the laser is in line with the cutting blade. Then adjust the four M6 grub screws on the guide body with the allen key provided, ensuring the vertical laser lines up with both cut-outs on the guide face. When achieved, tighten grub screws to ensure the guide stays in the correct position.
4
Secure the Screws
The grub screws must be tightened firmly to get a good purchase into the guard face and avoid any chance of vibrating loose.
WARNING
If the B-Eames cutting guide is placed too far forward or backwards of the guard, it would be in danger of coming off and causing an accident.
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection, and work gloves. Never operate power tools when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or medication. Ensure all guards are in place before use. If the tool makes unusual sounds or vibrations, stop immediately and inspect for damage.
5
Final Adjustment
Final adjustments to optimise the laser on the guide face can be made by releasing the two 5mm screws securing the guide body. This enables the guide face to swivel, allowing the final accurate adjustment.
6
Compatibility Check
Universal fitting suitable for most disk cutters. Attempting to fit the B-Eames cutting guide on the wrong disk cutter could damage the machine or harm the user.
