3 - MACHINE NOISE
The decibel pointed out in the workplace in the conditions under described is appointed to the simoultaneous working of
some machine parts in motion ( it depends on the detailed cycle ) added to that one of the tool when is cutting the
workpiece.
In several moments the decibel are pointed out to note the different using conditions.
The phon-meter is placed at about 1 meter near the machine and at about 1,60 m from the floor.
The results of each test is in dBA and they mean the average of 3 tests made from the: left side, opposite side,
right side.
For any machines the using conditions are the following :
When idle, at the maximum blade speed: dBA 66
During the cut, at a suited blade speed, cutting solid steel (St12=≈C20, 50mm diameter): dBA 88
(tolerance ± 2dB).
In the standard production the test is made by a same machine of above mentioned one, in compliance with E.C.
safety norms 2006/42/CE .
The use of the machine in bad conditions or the use of the wrong tools cause also sensitive alterations of these tests
and it is prejudicial for the health of the taff and for the good results of the work .
Most of all the noice depends on the cutting material, on its sizes and on the locking system.
By expecting that above mentioned decibels could be exceeded, we recommend the operator the using of the personal
means of protection ( head phones, plugs etc. ) in case of working a long time at highest levels, taking into account
other possible machinery running nearby and the characteristics of the working place
3.1 - ADDITIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
This type of machine, manually controlled during some working operations, must respond to further health and safety
requirements as specified by article 2.2 of the Annexed I of the European Directive 2006/42/CE and previous following.
In particular, the level of vibrations emitted by the machine while in use must be clearly specified in the instructions.
This machine does not emit vibrations of a level higher than 2,5 m/s 2
The measurement procedure used conforms to the general norms applied to this type of machine.
As in the preceding paragraph, using the machine in unsuitable conditions or using the wrong tools can cause
changes affecting this value, endangering the health of the work force as well as the quality of production.
Vibrations emitted during cutting may be amplified by the material, by its dimensions and its
positioning/clamping in the vice.

10 - BLADE CHOICE
In this paragraph we suggest the type of blade to use for cutting and the material that must be worked. To get the best
performance from this machine it is necessary to understand the right applications of the used tools and what you have
not to do with them.
The blade you have to use must have the following dimensions (in mm.):
overall diameter = 300 max./250 min. ( for PERFECT 300 )
overall diameter = 275 max./225 min. ( for PERFECT 275 )
overall diameter = 250 max./200 min. ( for PERFECT 250 )
hole diameter = 32
thickness = 2 or 2,5
2 holes for the driving pin = d.10 x 63 or d. 12 x 64
P.S. You can get the maximum cutting sizes by using the blade of maximum diameter.
For making a right cut it is also necessary to establish the pitch ( t ) or the suitable number of teeth ( z ). The
blade must usually have the toothing as follows:
- close toothing (little teeth) for cutting thin materials, tubular and profiles.
- thin toothing (big teeth) for cutting solid materials or pieces that need a long piece of blade (for example the central
part of a “U” profile ), or more soft materials as aluminium, copper, soft bronze.
By choosing the right one you can avoid a lot of working errors and you can get a good blade penetration and the
necessary space for the chips.
If you cut more pieces at the same time, you must consider them as one piece (that is you have to consider the
global size).
The enclosed table shows the necessary information for a right choice. It can also be updated or changed by the
user according to his personal experiences.

In case of using compressed air jet always wear proper eye protection.
The parts in motion ( band guides, trolleys, pivots, bearing support, bearing disc etc. ) are already lubricated.
The possible pneumatic installation ( for ex. for the vice of the model PERFECT 300 ) is ready to start.
13.1 - COOLING AND LUBRICATION PLANT
Prepare the lubricant in a case by mixing cutting oil and water in the proportion 1/10, 1/15 or according to the
instructions of the supplier ( a quantity of 10 l about also allows to make the fill up).
Pour out some lubricant into the tank through the loading hole until to fill it, or directly on the loading table; keep that the
coolant doesnot come out the base. The suction pipe passes by a filter ( washable and/or replaceable ) and it is
connected to the meccanic pump which is drived by the electrical motor . When the machine is new, it is necessary to
idle the motor to suction the coolant until the delivery nozzle .
After cooling the blade , some of the coolant is directed with the chips to the tank to be filtered and used again.
- 13.2 - PNEUMATIC CONNECTION ( if a pneumatic vice is fitted )
It is suitable to connect the machine to an installation supplied at least with :a condensate discharger, filter and
reducer gear to stabilize the pressure to 6/8 BAR . It is recommended to reduce again the in the case you work with
material capable of being deformed .
13.3 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Verify that the voltage and the power frequency are compatible with numbers reported in the technical data plate ( It is
placed on the right side of the head column) a difference over 10% causes some working unevenness more or less
manifested.
Connect the switch to a suitable socket or replace it with that of normal use( in the case the switch must be
replaced , the work must be done by an electrician ). The phasing performed by the manufacturer allows to get
a rotation of all motors by connecting the wires in the following order L1=R, L2=S, L3=T, anyhow check as
follows : ( with compressed air connected, is necessary, pressure not lower than 2 BAR ).
a) turn on the main switch placed on the electrical control device to give current to the installation ( for some models
only ).
b) turn on 1 the motor speed selector ( for models equipped with 3 phase motor at 2 speeds only ).
c) push the button placed inside the handle of the control lever.
d) be sure that the spindle turns in the sense shown by the PRINTED ARROW ON THE PROTECTION GUARD -
pos.11/RI0130-.
If not, turn off the machine, disconnect the feeding plug, reverse the connection of the both line connection wire,
excluding the green/yellow cable of grounding and start again from point a).
Attention : ( for some versions only ) the starting of the motor of the machine equipped with pneumatic vice is
only possible if the pneumatic vice is rightly connected to the pneumatic installation and the vice is closed (
by lowering the head ) .
e) Be sure that coolant is sucked in by the tank and it arrives in the cutting area, if not please control the cock position.
f) stop the working by releasing the button placed inside the handle.

Turn back the movable protection guard ( inside the fixed protection guard ) to have the spindle .Follow as
recommended for each model by remembering that :
a) the closing spindle screw has the thread on left sense
b) the teeth of the blade must be oriented to the direction of the arrow placed on the protection guard .
c) before tightening the spindle screw, wheel back the blade to cancel the remaining shake between the driving pin and
the blade holes.
d) the models PERFECT 300 and PERFECT 275 has a clutch that is adjusted with the same screw of the
spindle ; it is necessary to clean the protective oil from the 4 tempered rings that settle the clutch before
mounting the blade.
e) rightly connect the bucket spring -pos.2- on the screw- pos.1 - as shown by the dr.RI0118.
NEVER mount the cup spring REVERSED , but always with the WIDEST part directed TOWARDS THE BLADE.
14.1 -MODEL PERFECT 300, see the dr. RI0130 :
Remove the screw -pos.9 and completely wheel the part-pos.10 - inside the protection guard-pos.11 -, by keeping the
little rod up -pos.12-. Through the central hole- pos.13- it is possible unscrew the screw of the spindle.
Remove it, also disconnect the 4 parts that settle the clutch and degrase them;
then with reference to the dr.RI0118 :
mount again the parts -pos.5 and 6-, insert the blade in the shown sense and agree the holes with those of the already
mounted flange. Couple the parts -pos.3 and 4- and connect them with the end of the spindle, by agreeing the driving
pins with the holes of the blade . Mount again the bucket spring-pos.2- and tight the screw-pos.1- to lock the blade.
Replace the start position of the protection guard and lock it.
14.2 - MODEL PERFECT 275 , see the dr. RI0155
Unscrew 1 turn ab. the screw -pos1- and turn completely the movable part -pos.2- into the fixed blade guard -pos.3.
Unscrew of 2 turns ab. The front screw -pos. 6- that fix the complete blade guard.
To reach the spindle it is necessary rotate to the back this cover blade, around the pivot pin -pos.5-.
