4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The fixture described in this manual is a pneumatic cutting unit model FP861V2 which can
be assembled on automatic machines (e.g. spreaders, computerized cutting, etc...) by means
of a proper bracket. By cutting with the blade and the counterblade always in contact and
thanks to the steel upper quality of the blade supplied, FP861V2 guarantees the clean
separation without frayings of the two borders of the cut material. The motor, extremely
compact dimensionsand extreme reliability, is positioned vertically, perpendicular to the
cutting direction, and, with special 86 mm diameter blades, guarantees cuts with thickness
up to 2.5 cm. The high torque and the slow speed of the knife allow the cutting of rubber
material with plastic base in the carpet and light flooring application.
One special feature of cutting FP861V2 is its ability to sharpen the blade in each moment
without disassembling it by means of a grinding wheel mounted on the cutting unit head.
After carrying out this operation, it is possible to start cutting again. The unit is provided
with a threaded connection to the majority of the air pipes. The turbine, perfectly balanced,
with a high number of revolutions and totally free of maintenance, reduces the vibrations
and the noise to the minimum. The cutting unit can be used to cut damp or wet materials
and therefore particularly recommended in tannery, dyeworks, etc... The use of compressed
air as source of energy allows working continuously without problems of heating or motor
overload. The mechanical parts are made up of steel, high resistant bronze and aluminium
and require a lubrication after many working hours.

6. NOISE LEVEL
The maximum acoustic pressure level emitted by cutting unit FP861V2 is about 72 dB (A).
Noise tests have been carried out in compliance with Standard ISO 15744:2008. The device
noise levels, measured at different distances (without any sound wave filtering system), vary
in the extent of few db (A). The noise level has beeen detected with the silencer supplied
with the fixture assembled on the exhaust. The silencer must never be removed.
NOTE
It is advisable for cutting unit FP861V2 owners to verify the compliance with the standard
concerning safety of workers: Italian legislative decree 81/08.
Cutting unit FP861V2 has been designed, manufactured and assembled to cut textile or
technical fabrics, with the exception of metal, plastic or wood, by means of rotary blades.
This equipment must not work:
- in areas prone to explosions;
- in presence of fine dust or corrosive gases;
- to cut plastic, metal and wooden materials.
It is forbidden to use cutting unit FP861V2 for purposes different from the above-
mentioned ones.

12. BLADE SHARPENING
After using the cutting unit for some hours without
interruption, or if its cutting capacity is reduced, it is
necessary to sharpen the blade.
To carry out this operation, start the blade and press
sharpener “2” on the blade itself (by means of push
button “1”, as shown in picture 7) for 3-4 seconds.
Repeat this operation 2-3 times.
If the sharpening operation is not effective, check the
wear of emery grinding wheel “3” (see picture 8).
If grinding wheel “3” is too worn or dirty, replace it.
13. LUBRICATION
Every 3-4 working days, it is necessary to lubricate the
gear pair. In order to carry out this operation, remove
protective plug “A” located on the head of the cutting
unit and fill it with Rasor lubricating grease. Screw plug
“A” again a few turns. Screw plug “A” a few turns every
2-3 working days (see picture 9).
Once the plug is screwed until the end, fill it again.
There must not be stains of grease or oil on the blade.
