3. 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.
Insert the chain to be cut in the gap between the fixed and movable blades (max. 0.75 inch or 19 mm).
5.
Move the control valve to the advance position. Operate the pump until the blade moves forward and the chain is cut.
6.
Retract the blade by moving the control valve to the retract position.
7.
Remove any traces of chain material before making another cut.
4. MAINTENANCE
REPLACEMENT OF BLADES
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.
A.
FIXED BLADE:
1.
Loosen and remove the stud (4).
2.
Push the old blade (3) out using a nail inserted through the hole in the cutting head. Remove the old blade (3).
3.
Apply Loctite 242 to the threads of the stud (4).
4.
Insert a new blade (3). Then, reinstall and tighten the stud (4) to secure the blade.
B.
MOVABLE BLADE:
1.
Loosen and remove the studs (4), on both sides of the piston (8).
2.
Loosen the stud (21).
3.
Firmly grasp the cutting head (1). Unscrew the cutter body (7) from the cutting head.
4.
Loosen and remove the screw (5). Remove the old blade (2).
5.
Mount a new blade (2).
6.
Apply Loctite 242 thread sealant to the threads of the screw (5). Then, reinstall and tighten the screw (5) to secure the
blade.
7.
Thread the cutter body (7) fully into the cutting head (1). Tighten the stud (21).
8.
Apply Loctite 242 thread sealant to the threads of the studs (4). Then, reinstall the studs on both sides of the piston (8).
9.
Adjust the clearance between the piston (8) and the studs (4).
Note: The studs (4) act as a piston guide. Turn each stud in or out as needed to adjust the clearance. There must be
sufficient clearance to allow the piston (8) to slide freely, but with a minimal amount of lateral movement. Clearance
should be even on both sides of the piston.
