Do not attempt to operate the machine unless all safety guards are in operation.
The guard must fully cover the blade when the head is in the uppermost position.
Ensure that hands & arms are kept clear of the cutting zone when the machine is operating.
Do not wear loose clothing with long sleeves & oversized gloves, bracelets, necklaces or any
other loose object that may become entangled in the machine’s blade during cutting. Long hair
must be tied back or placed in a hair net.
Always disconnect the power supply to the machine before carrying out any maintenance
work or adjustments. This includes cases of abnormal operations of the machine.
Any maintenance work performed on the hydraulic, pneumatic or coolant systems must be carried
out only after the pressure in the system has been released.
The operator MUST NOT conduct any risky operations or those not required for the cutting in course
(e.g. remove swarf shavings from the machine while cutting).
Never move the saw while the machine is operating.
Always keep the workplace are as clean as possible.
Remove equipment, tools or any other objects from the cutting zone.
Support the workpiece on both sides of the machine to prevent it falling or jamming during the
cutting cycle.

Brobo Group
brobo.com.au
Ensure that the specimen being cut is secured firmly in the vice clamps & the machine has been
correctly set. Figure A show some examples of how to correctly clamp different specimen profiles.
Before commencing the cut, be sure the vice(s) is securely clamped & the machine set-up is correct.
Figure A. Correct Clamping of Cutting Specimens
Do not use cutting blades of different sizes to those recommended to the machine’s
specifications. Always follow safe practices & inspection procedures when installing blades
(Please refer to section 5.1 Changing the Blade).
When cutting very small specimens, ensure that the workpiece is not dragged behind the back
fence support, where it could get lodged behind the blade.
If the blade jams during a cut, activate the emergency stop function immediately. Do not
continue forcing the blade through. This could damage the blade, the specimen or be a cause for
potential injury to the operator.
Always turn off the machine before carrying out any repair work. Consult the Brobo Group
Engineering Department in the country in which the machine was initially purchased.

CHAPTER 3 - Main Functions & Operation of the Machine
3.1.1. Cutting Head
As the name suggests, the cutting head is the focal area where most of the specimen cutting takes place. Thus,
correct saw blade selection such as size, number of teeth & tooth pitch are all critical factors that determine the
overall performance & quality of the final cuts. In addition, the use of correct saw blade provides minimum burr to
the workpiece while maximising the safety to the operator during each cutting procedure.
3.1.2. Saw Safety Guard
The primary purpose of the saw safety guard is to
protect the user from the spinning blade. It also
functions as a safety device to protect the operator
from any broken tooth, swarf or high-velocity
particles that might be dislodged by the cutting
process.

3.1.3. Saw Handle (with ‘Dead Man’ Trigger Switch)
Although comes as a standard, the saw handle can be installed with a Dead Man’ type trigger switch enabled instant
switching at the operator's control. This particular configuration allows for increased efficiency & safety.
3.1.4. Main Power Standby & Speed Selector Switch
The rotary Main power switch also serves as the speed selector switch. When the speed is selected the saw is set
to “STANDBY” mode. The “STANDBY” lamp illuminates to provide a warning to personnel the saw is at the ready.
AT any time the “Dead Man” trigger is activated the saw will run.
3.1.5. Manual Vice Clamp
The manual vice clamp lever allows speedy clamping of
material with ergonomically designed clamp lock.

3.2. Preparation for Operation
The following procedure is recommended for the correct cutting using the BW S315/S350/S400 Series Metal
Cutting Saw.
PROCEDURE
Using a non-flammable & toxic free solvent, clean the machine to remove any corrosion protective coating prior to
use.
1) Ensure that both the air & electric power systems are turned on, where applicable. The electrical power
source must be available before any pneumatic functions will operate.
2) To adjust the cutting angle, untighten the quick action handle, as
shown in Figure 10. Fine-tune the angle required, then re-tighten
the quick action handle.
3) Place the cutting specimen you wish to cut into the vice clamps.
Manually adjust the clamps so that the jaws are clamped firmly to
the workpiece. With a pneumatic vice, manually adjust the clamps
to a clearance of 3 - 7mm. (For correct clamping of material, please
refer to section 2.3 Advice for the Operator). NOTE -The vice clamps
advance with an approximate 10mm pneumatic stroke to apply a
clamping pressure of 6 bar (87 psi).
4) Position the vice clamps & component as close to the blade as possible without interfering with the travel of
the blade or guard. Vice relocation is required whenever the head angle is altered.
5) For pneumatic vices, set the vice clamping pressure from the pressure regulators located on the main control
unit door. If for any reason this pressure is not available on a continuous basis, the regulator on the air
service unit must be set slightly below the available line pressure, & the safety low-pressure indicator valve
needs to be reset to correspond with the newly available pressure. The need to change the pressure is
necessary to allow for lighter materials with hollow cross sections to be cut without deforming the walls
thicknesses.
6) To initiate the cutting process, either turn the switch to 1or 2settings or press the START buttons.
Vice jaws automatically close & apply clamping pressure.
Position blade to commence cutting through component & maintaining a constant forward feed cutting
rate until the end of the stroke.
Return saw cutting head to the initial rest position.
Vice clamps release workpiece
7) The machine is ready for the next cutting cycle.

WARNING – SAFETY GEAR
Protective clothing, safety glasses and gloves should always be worn while loading parts,
operating the machine, or undertaking any maintenance work on the machine.
Figure 10.Quick Action Handle

Brobo Group
brobo.com.au
3.3. Operation Recommendations
Select the correct saw blade with the correct tooth pitch & form to suit the material to be cut to provide
minimum burr & maximum blade lifespan.
Use the smallest diameter blade & coarsest pitch that is practical within the required speed & material
limitations.
Generally, use a tooth pitch to give 2 - 4 teeth engagement with the material during cutting.
Ensure that sufficient coolant is flowing over the cutting teeth.
Do not allow the machine’s gearbox to run idle in the upright position for more than 3 minutes otherwise,
damage can occur to the drive system.
The rate of feed affects the quality of the final cut & blade life. This varies also by the material & cross-
sectional dimensions. When cutting stainless steel or high carbon steel (Brinell hardness above 200), the
slowest speed machine should be used together with a cobalt type high-speed steel blade.
When manually feeding the saw head, keep in mind to maintain a steady, continuous pressure, thus
avoiding work hardening on the cutting piece. Avoid ‘forcing’ the blade through the material as this might
damage or break the blade.
As a rule of thumb the softer the component, the faster the rate of speed. Thus, it is recommended that
slower speeds be used for hard & tough materials & higher speeds for soft, ductile materials. Note that for
non-ferrous materials such as brass, copper, aluminium etc. require much faster speeds than provided on
this machine. If these are the majority of materials cut, a Brobo NF Series machine should be considered.
