OPERATION
1.
Assemble the complete system, and make sure the fitting of pump, hoses, couplers and tool is leak free and correct. This is
a double acting tool, so ensure that both couplers are connected.
2.
On vented pumps, be sure that vent/fill cap (if equipped) is in the “VENT” position to allow proper pump functioning.
3.
Before use, test the circuit by operating the pump with the control valve in the advance position and check that the piston
advances. Then, move the control valve to the retract position and check that the piston retracts. Fully advance and retract
the piston several more times to remove any trapped air. Be sure that cylinder movement is smooth in both directions.
4.
Remove the retaining pin (attached to chain) and open the cutting head.
5.
Place the material to be cut inside the cutting head. Then, close the cutting head and secure it with the retaining pin. Make
sure the retaining pin is fully installed.
6.
Move the control valve to the advance position.
7.
Operate the pump and advance the blade. Continue advancing the blade until the material is fully cut.
8.
After cutting is completed, retract the blade by moving the control valve to the retract position. Open the head and remove
all traces of material before making another cut.
3.
MAINTENANCE
1.
After use, the tool should be cleaned. Lubricate the area where the blade comes into contact with the head.
2.
Ensure all fasteners are securely fastened.
3.
In the event of oil leaks or improper functioning contact your nearest SIMPLEX authorized service center for inspection
and repair.
CHANGING THE BLADE
Note:
Refer to Section 6 of this manual for parts list and item numbers. To help prevent damage to the tool, always
perform blade replacement procedures in a clean and dry work area.
To prevent possible serious injury, always relieve hydraulic pressure (0 psi/bar) and disconnect hydraulic hoses
from tool before beginning blade replacement procedures.
The blade retaining screw (20) can be accessed with the blade in its standby position. Remove the screw (20) and remove
the old blade. Mount a new blade and check that the orientation is correct (see diagram, below). Apply Loctite 242 thread
sealant to threads of screw (20). Reinstall the screw (20) and tighten it to a torque of 531-620 in-lb [720-841 Nm].
