4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The fixture described in this manual is a cutting unit model SW100SL which can be assembled
on automatic machines (e.g. spreaders, computerized cutting) by means of proper holes
located in the motor support. SW100SL can operate continuously and it can cut at various
widths by means of multiple installation. By cutting with the blade and the counterblade
always in contact and thanks to the steel upper quality of the blade supplied, SW100SL
guarantees the clean separation without frayings of the two borders of the cut material.
Moreover, the single-phase motor guarantees a blade peripheral speed of 260 m/min allowing
great cutting performances in terms of traversing speed/speed of travel.
The 100 mm blade diameter and the light weight (only 2,7 Kg) of the cutting unit make it ideally
suited forsmall radius cut profiles on materials with thickness up to 3,5 cm. A sharpener assembled
on the cutting unit head allows sharpening the blade at any moment without disassembling it.
After carrying out this operation, it is possible to start cutting again. A high power motor,
perfectly balanced, with a high number of revolutions and totally free of maintenance, reduces
the vibrations to the minimum, thus making the cutting unit comply with Italian Legislative
Decree No. 81 dated 9/4/2008 “Testo Unico sulla Salute e Sicurezza sul Lavoro” (Consolidated
Act on Health and Safety at Work), Title VIII - CHAPTER III (worker protection from
mechanical vibration risks). The mechanical parts are made of high resistance steel, bronze and
aluminium and require lubrication after several working hours.

8. USE WARNINGS
We recommend following the indications below in order to work in safety conditions.
All the operations must be carried out complying strictly with the safety rules of the
country where the device is to be installed.
It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to smoke during the installation or adjustment operations of
the cutting unit.
The Customer undertakes to comply with and make his staff observe all the rules and
regulations in force concerning safety, prevention of accidents and health in the work
place. Therefore, the Customer assumes the responsibility to strictly follow all the rules and
regulations in force, as well as the special provisions in force in sport and public installations
the Customer declares to know after receiving all the relative necessary information.
The cutting unit also works without its safety protective device. This protective
device must NEVER be removed.
Always check the resistance of the material to be cut and the kind of blade which is being
used.
The Customer shall equip his own personnel with all the individual safety protections for
the execution of the works, as well as with the ones which might be prescribed by the
Manufacturer due to specific danger conditions of the plant or of the area where the
personnel must work.
Do not make any adjustment while the blade is working or while the electric plug is
connected.
Always pay attention to the electric cable position to prevent it from being cut or damaged
by the blade.
It is allowed to assemble cutting unit SW100SL on machines O.E.M. on condition that their
original structure is not modified. Otherwise, the intervention must be certified by Rasor®.
Firstly make sure that the lines and electric systems of the machine, on which the SW100SL
will be installed, are able to supply the cutting unit with power correctly, in compliance with
the safety rules (for the feature required see par. 5).
We suggest installing a magnetothermic safety device before the cutting unit and check
that the ground circuit is effective. Before working on the feeding cable, unplug the unit.
Check that electric connections and protections correspond to the driving force and to the
plate data values (voltage and current), required by the different
electric circuits. Possible faulty ground connections make the working
conditions unsafe. Possible damages are not charged to Rasor®.
Referring to the CEI 11-27/1 standard all the works carried out by
means of electric current must be performed by skilled staff provided
with all the devices required by the above-mentioned standard. For
the works carried out under voltage, it is necessary that the employer
certifies the suitability, against formative processes.Asthecutting
unit SW100SL is supplied without plug, the user must use a plug
homologated in the country in which the cutting unit is used. In the
European Countries a Shuko plug is required (see picture 3). Never
change the lenght of the cable supplied.The cutting unit SW100SL
is a class II electric device; therefore, it does not need earthing.

11. INSTALLATION AND USE
Even though the cutting unit is safe, operators must pay attention to preserve their and
other people’s safety.
At the end of the working operations, the metal parts could be very hot.
Thecuttingbladecanworkeveniftheprotectiveguardsaredisassembled.
To install and use the cutting unit manually, proceed as follows:
1) Fix the cutting unit on level squares or angles by means of four 5MA screws, by inserting
them in the four holes located in the motor lower cover (see pictures 4 and 5).
NOTE
The cutting unit can be installed in any position/angle: vertically, laterally and it can be turned
upside down. It is not necessary that the aluminium base touches the machine table.
2) Lay the material to be cut;
3) Plug the cutting unit into the electrical outlet (see picture 6);
4) Put the material on the cutting foot (see picture 7);
5) Adjust the front mobile protection according to the thickness of the material to be cut (see
picture 7);
6) Enable the switch; once it has been enabled, it lights up with a green light (see picture 8).
NOTE
Cutting unit SW100SL can work in a fixed position (the material moves) or it can move
forward while the material is kept in the same position. Make sure the material to be cut is
properly stretched, preventing it from curling.
WARNING
Never use the two bolts which fix the motor to the cutting part to fasten cutting
unit SW100SL. This operation may cause the motor shaft to break. In this case,
warranty is not valid.

12. BLADE SHARPENING
13. LUBRIFICAZIONE
Every 3-4 working days, it is necessary to lubricate the
pair of gears. To carry out this operation, remove
protective plug “A” located on the motor support of
the cutting unit and fill it with lubricating grease Rasor.
Screw plug “A” again few turns. Screw plug “A” some
turns every 3-4 working days (see picture 11).
The blade must never be dirty with grease or oil.
11
WARNING
A
After many hours of a continuative use of the cutting
unit, or if it would not be able to cut anymore, it is
necessary to sharpen the blade. To carry out this
operation, start the blade and press sharpener “2”
located on it for 3-4 seconds (by pressing push button
“1”, as shown in picture 9). Repeat the operation 2-3
times.
If the sharpening operation is not effective, check the
wear of emery grinding wheel “3” (see picture 10).
If emery grinding wheel “3” is too worn or dirty, replace
it.

14. MOTOR BRUSH REPLACEMENT
Worn motor brushes could create a cutting unit malfunction (no starting, intermittent
start, etc.), therefore it should be better to verify their wear periodically.
Open the motor cover by unscrewing 4 screws “4” on the cutting unit head (see picture
12). Remove the metal contacts that close the brushes with a slotted screwdriver (see
picture 13). Remove the brushes and check their wear: if the graphite has a length shorter
than 15 mm or it is uneven, replace it (see picture 14).
Close the metal contacts again making sure that they adhere well to the metal part of the
brush. Finally close the motor cover again.

If the blade is no more able to cut (even after repeating
the sharpening operation several times) it is necessary to
replace it. To carry out this operation, use wrench “1”
and drift “3” locking the blade (shown in picture 15).
To replace the blade, proceed as follows:
1) Use some protective gloves in compliance with
Italian Legislative Decree 81/08;
2) Remove the mobile front safety protection “A” (see
picture 16) by unscrewing pin “C” and removing
the two washers “D” as shown in picture 17.
Remove the fixed rear safety protection “B” (see
picture 16) by unscrewing the two cross screws
“E” by means of the proper screwdriver (not
supplied by the manufacturer) as shown in picture
18.
3) Insert drift “3” into hole “F” (see picture 19), so
as to lock the blade (the hole on the blade must
correspond to the one on the motor support).
4) Use wrench “1” to unscrew nut “G” and remove
blade “H” (see picture 19).
5) Replace the worn blade with the new one “2”,
being careful to center the blade on the gear, in
the correct position, and remember to assemble it,
so that the Rasor writing can be seen by the
operator.
6) Assemble all the components again and carry out
the sharpening.
