CHAPTER 1 - Installation of the Machine
1.1. Unpacking & Handling the Machine
Upon receiving the Brobo Group TNF115 Series 2, the machine should be standing upright & positioned centrally
on top of a wooden pallet. While the machine is situated on the pallet, position the forklift arms under the pallet
between the runners, keeping in mind that the machine is head heavy. Move the entire unit to an accessible area
as close as possible to the final location.
Carefully remove the wooden frame surrounding the saw unit (Figure 1). Once completed, proceed by elevating the
machine away from the pallet base using a sling harness wrapped around the cutting head of the saw. Ensure that
the floor is as level as possible before finally positioning the machine to the desired location.

WARNING – HEAD HEAVY MACHINES
The metal sawing machines are heaviest where the saw heads are fitted & as such, care must
be taken while relocating or moving the machines.

1.3. Minimum Requirements
For the machine to function correctly, the room in which the saw unit is to be installed must be in the vicinity of, &
satisfy the following conditions:
 415/240V Power Supply
 Ambient Temperature - From -10
 C to +50  C.
 Relative Humidity: Not more than 90%.
 Lighting: More than 500 LUX.
WARNING – OPERATING VOLTAGE VARIATION
Each saw model has an inbuilt safety system to protect it against voltage variations. However,
for the machine to perform efficiently, ensure that the saw unit operates within
 10% limits of the
recommended voltage of the motor.

1.4. Anchoring the Saw
Prior to anchoring the saw unit, take into considerations the requirements mentioned in Section 1.3 & Section 2.2,
& other aspects regarding the usage of the machine such as accessibility to cut parts & safe access for the operator.
The base of the fabricated stand (if applicable), in which the saw head rests on, is anchored to the floor by 4  M12
bolts. For added stability, it is strongly recommended that the machine stand is fastened to the floor by using loxins
(not provided).
Required Working Area
It is recommended that A & B is more than 1.5m

1.5. Connection to Power Source
Before connecting the machine to the power supply, check that the socket is not connected in series with other
machines. This condition is critical for the ideal operation of the saw unit.
Single & Three Phase
a) Single phase machines are provided with three pins, 15 amps rated plugs & leads for connection to 240V,
50Hz power supply in Australia.
Figure 3.1 Connection 3 pins – 1 Phase
b) Three phase machines
Figure 3.2 Connection for “5-CORE” Wire System with Neutral – 3 Phase
c) Check the power supplied & motor specifications before plugging in the machine. Check the terminal
connection on dual voltage motor terminal box & connect it accordingly to the corresponding voltage supply.
d) If the dual motor is requested, the motor is always connected to the higher voltage, unless otherwise
specified prior to the order being placed.

CHAPTER 2 - Safety & Accident Prevention
The Brobo Group TNF115 Series 2 has been designed & manufactured in accordance with Australian Standards.
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that the instructions & warnings contained in this chapter be carefully followed for
correct usage of the machine.
2.1. Operation of the Machine
The Brobo Group TNF115 Series 2 is specifically designed to cut non-ferrous metal cross sections with solid or
thin-walled profiles. Other types of material & machining are not compatible for use with the specifications of the
saw. This machine involves a high-speed blade rotation; therefore extreme caution is required when
operating the device.
The employer is responsible for instructing the personnel who, in turn, are obliged to inform the operator of any
accident risks, safety devices, noise emission & accident prevention regulations provided for by national &
international laws governing the use of the machine. The operator must be fully aware of the position &
functions of all the machine’s controls.
All those concerned must strictly adhere to ALL instructions, warnings, & accident prevention standards in
this manual.
The following definitions are those provided for by the EEC DIRECTIVE ON MACHINERY No. 98/37/CE:
 Danger Zone - any zone in and/or around a machine in which the presence of a person constitutes a
risk for the safety & health of that person.
 Person Exposed - any person finding him or herself, either completely or partly in a danger zone.
 Operator - the person or persons are given the responsibility of installing, operating, adjusting,
maintaining, cleaning, repairing, & transporting the machine.
WARNING – UNAUTHORISED MODIFICATIONS/REPLACEMENTS/USE
The manufacturer declines any responsibility whatsoever, either civil of criminal, in the case of
unauthorised interference or replacement of one or more parts or assemblies on the machine,
or if accessories, tools & consumable materials used are different from those recommended by
the manufacturer, or if the machine is inserted in a plant system & its proper function is altered.

2.1.1. Noise Level
The noise level of an idling saw has been measured to be below 85 dBA. This complies with the Australian
Occupational Health & Safety (Noise) Regulations 1992.
Please note that peak impulse noise levels will be experienced due to variables including blade characteristics, type,
& condition. This will also vary accordingly depending on the size & type of sample being cut. Under these
circumstances, management should make available to the operator(s) the appropriate hearing protection equipment
as prescribed under the above-stated act.
