Before starting
•
Enclose the area to be cut so that unauthorised persons
can not be injured or disturb the operator.
•
Make sure that all hydraulic hoses and connections are
intact and correctly connected, and that the water cooling
is correctly connected and switched on.
Starting
NOTICE! In order for the water to cool the wire as intended
during cutting, it is essential to adjust the position of the
cooling water as the material is cut. Remember to always
stop the machine when you do this.
When all the equipment has been assembled cutting can
start. In order for the saw to cut as efficiently as possible it
should be started as follows:
1 Close the valve on the pressure reduction block by turning
the knob anti-clockwise until it stops and then two turns
back.
2 Start the electric motor by pressing the remote control's
green button once.
3 Set the feeding flow on the unit to max by turning the
control on the remote control clockwise.
4 Tension the wire by carefully turning the knob on the
pressure reduction block clockwise until the wire is
tensioned sufficiently. Make sure to always check that the
wire is seated correctly in all the wheels on the saw.

STARTING AND STOPPING
5 Start the wire drive by turning the control for motor rotation
on the remote control clockwise.
6 Carefully increase the motor speed by turning the control
for motor rotation. A suitable working pressure when
cutting usually lies between 100 and 130 bar, but varies
depending on how many wheel sets are used in the
magazine, how much wire is in use and the hardness of
the material to be cut.
7 As the material is cut away the working pressure drops,
which is shown on the display, and the magazine must
then be tensioned. Do this by turning the knob on the
pressure reduction block clockwise.
8 The output tension on the magazine is shown by an
indicator on the machine (shown in the min position).
When the magazine cylinder is fully tensioned, the
machine must be stopped and the wire must be wound
around a new wheel set. Then continue to cut as above.
Stopping
•
Lower the speed on the wire and allow the motor to stop
completely.
•
Turn off the electric motor by pressing the remote control's
green button.
Dismantling the saw
•
Disconnect the incomming cables from the hydraulic unit.
•
Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and the water hose from
the saw unit.
•
Fold up the magazine arm.
The other steps are done in the reverse order to assembling.
Cleaning
NOTICE! Do not use a high pressure washer to clean the
saw.
The saw should be cleaned once cutting is finished. It is
important to clean all the saw equipment. It is a good idea to
disconnect the water hose from the pivot arm and use this to
wash down the saw unit. If necessary, you can also use the
supplied cleaning brush or the like to clean the equipment. Do
not use a high pressure washer to clean the saw.
