- Remove the protective plate (4) (Fig 4).
- Remove the protective guard at the back of the bow.
- Loose blade tension by turning down the blade tension lever (5) towards the position "-" (Fig 5).
- Carefully remove old blade. Caution! Blade teeth are sharp. Handle with care!
- Instal the new blade, taking care to observe the cutting direction and placing it between the blade guides
rollers (16 & 17) (Fig 7). Make sure blade teeth face the same direction as indicated on the label found on the saw
- Place the blade around both wheels (15) (Fig 6). Make sure the blade edge rests near the wheel flange on both
wheels.
- Turn the blade tension lever (5) clockwise to tension blade, towards the position "+".
- Replace the protective guard at the back of the bow and secure it with screws.
- Replace the protective plate (4) and secure it with the screw.
NOTE:
After replacing a blade, use slight cutting pressures during the first 4-6 cuts in order to increase the duration and
effectiveness of the blade thereafter.
4. Adjusting the cutting angle (Fig 8)
The machine uses a swivel miter base for angle cutting from 0
- Lose the hex nut (18).
- Turn the swivel support by using the main handle (6) and stop rotation when the pointer is aligned with the
desired angle on the scale (13) of the base.
- Block the swivel support by tightening the hex nut (18).
5. Adjusting the blade guide (Fig 9)
- Lose the knob (19).
- Slide blade guide assemblies as close as possible to the workpiece without interfering with the cut. Simulate the
work phase to be performed to make sure that there is no interference and/or contact between the blade guide, the
workpiece and other parts of the machine.
- Block the blade guide in position by tightening the knob (19).
6. Positioning the workpiece in the vice (Fig 10)
CAUTION:
- The use of the vice is necessary to keep the workpiece firmly and securely. It is dangerous and prohibited to
hold the workpiece by hand.
- Do not place any other object between the workpiece and the jaws.
The maximum opening of the vice is 105mm.
- Place the workpiece against the fixed jaw of the vise and position it flat on the base.
- Turn the hanble (3) clockwise to hold the workpiece in position.
- Check the workpiece for tightness before starting work.
7. Adusting the cutting speed (Fig 12)
The cutting speed can be adjusted from 20 to 70 m/ min depending on the material to be cut.
- 20 ~ 50 m / min: Stainless steel.
- 40 ~ 60 m / min: Copper, Aluminum and alloys.
- 50 ~ 70 m / min: Steel.
- Increase the speed for profiles and thin tubes.
- Reduce the speed to solid material.
- To adjust the speed, simply rotate the speed regulator (8).
1. Prior to operation
- At the end of every adjustment operation, check that all fasteners are securely tightened.
- At the end of every adjustment operation make sure that no tools have been left on the machine.
- Before starting a new work, always remove the cuttings left from the previous task.
- Make sure the switch trigger (7) and the speed regulator (8) are easily accessible, and that there is sufficient
visibility and lighting on the tool, the surrounding area and the base.
- Keep hands away from the cutting area. Never bring hands anywhere near the cutting area until the bow has
