SLIDING BLADE GUIDE (Fig. 3)
The sliding blade guide
D
with integrated protection fi tted
on your sawing machine is used to perform the cut while
guiding the necessary part of the blade and fully protecting
the part not used in the cutting process. Slacken the knob
E
and slide the blade guide
D
so as to move it closer to or
further from the part to be cut, as shown in the fi gure.
WARNING: If this adjustment is not done, the part
of the blade not used in the cutting process will
be exposed and this will create an extra risk of
contact, besides altering the quality of the cut.
3.6
BEARINGS BLADE GUIDE (Fig. 9)
The blade guides
A
on the outside of the sawing machine
are eccentric and adjustable so as to semplify blade
replacement and to keep it guided as its best.
They must always touch the blade slightly, so that they
rotate when the blade passes, but must not be completely
locked.
In order to approach or remove the eccentric blade guides,
gently turn the head of the screws
B
using a 10 mm.
wrench key.
4 USE
4.1
BLADE COOLING (Fig. 11)
Your sawing machine is equipped with an automatic blade
cooling system controlled by a motor pump
A
positioned
inside the tank.
Before operating the machine, prepare
12 litres
of a 10%
oil-water emulsion by pouring directly the necessary oil into
the water with a temperature not lower than 10 degrees.
Agitate the mixture thoroughly and pour it in the pump
tank
B
.
Do not operate the machine without coolant to avoid
damage to the blade.
Use the oil specifi ed for the preparation of the coolants
(see OIL TABLE)
WARNING: Always check that the lubrication jet
is aimed towards the blade and that its cock is
not opened too much before you put the machine
in operation.
4.2 WORKING
Turn the main switch
D
to position
1
: in doing the switch
comes on and the machine is ready for operation.
WARNING: Before starting any cutting operation,
check that all the protections are complete and
in the correct position.
Once you have completed all the procedures and operations
described so far, you may start the working processes.
To perform the cut, move to the front of the machine and
grip the handgrip with your right hand.
WARNING: Keep your left hand away from the
cutting area and on no account try to reach it
when cutting is in process.
Use your right-hand forefi nger to press start button
A (Fig. 4)
and lower the body gradually until the blade lightly touches
the work piece to be cut.
Now begin to apply gradual pressure on the part and
complete the cut.
WARNING: Always release button A between
one cutting operation and another, while you are
positioning the part. do not try to block it or alter
its functional characteristics in any way.
If the machine suddenly stops after numerous
consecutive cuts, do not be alarmed. The heat protector
device of the motor has been activated, breaking the
power supply when the temperature of the coils reaches
the threshold limit defi ned by the insulation class, to
prevent damage to the motor.
In this case, release the button A and wait for automatic
reset which usually takes place after a few minutes.
4.3
RUNNING IN THE BLADE
To obtain the best performance, the bi-metal blades fi tted
on your sawing machine must be run in for a short period.
For this reason the fi rst two or three cuts should be done
where possible on a solid piece D.70-80 mm, using a very
slight pressure on the blade, and gradually increasing
pressure in subsequent cuts.
To gauge the correct pressure in normal operating
conditions defined by this manual (see cutting table),
consider for example that the fi rst cut on solid steel (eg.
C40) D.80 mm should be done in about 5 minutes.
After running-in, the same piece may easily be cut in about
2 minutes. If the running-in process is done correctly, the
fi nish and precision of the cut will be of better quality and
the blade will last longer.
