1.3 - Electrical equipment according to European Standard "CENELEC EN 60 204-1" which assimilates,
with some integrating modifications, the publication "IEC 204-1"
- The electrical equipment ensures protection against electric shock as a result of direct or indirect contact. The active parts of this
equipment are housed in a box to which access is limited by screws that can only be removed with a special tool; the parts are fed
with alternating current at low voltage (24 V). The equipment is protected against splashes of water and dust.
- Protection of the system against short circuits is ensured by means of rapid fuses and earthing; in the event of motor overload,
protection is provided by a thermal relay.
- In the event of a power cut, the specific start-up button must be reset.
- The machine has been tested in conformity with point 20 of EN 60204.
1.4 - Emergencies according to European Standard "CENELEC EN 60 204-1"
- In the event of incorrect operation or of danger conditions, the machine may be stopped immediately by pressing the red mush-
room button.
- The casual or voluntary removal of the protection shield of the flywheels causes the stepping-in of a microswitch that automatically
stops all machine functions.
- In case blade breaks, the band tightening microswitch/pressure switch disconnects all machine.
NOTE: Resetting of machine operation after each emergency stop is achieved by reactivating the specific restart button.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND ADVICE FOR USE
2.1 - Recommendations and advice for using the machine
- The machine has been designed to cut metal building materials, with different shapes and profiles, used in workshops, turner’s
shops and general mechanical structural work.
- Only one operator is needed to use the machine, that must stand as shown in the picture.
- Before starting each cutting operation, ensure that the part is firmly gripped in the vice and that the end is suitably supported.
These figures show examples of suitable clamping of different section bars, bearing in mind the cutting capacities of the machine in
order to achieve a good efficiency and blade durability.
- Do not use blades of a different size from those stated in the machine specifications.
- If the blade gets stuck in the cut, release the running button immediately, switch off the machine, open the vice slowly, remove the
part and check that the blade or its teeth are not broken. If they are broken, change the tool.
- Check saw frame return spring to ensure proper balancing.
