This machine has been built to comply with the national and
community accident-prevention regulations in force.
Improper use and/or tampering with the safety devices will
relieve the manufacturer of all responsibility.
1.1 - Advice for the operator
- Check that the voltage indicated on the plate, normally fixed
to the machine motor, is the same as the line voltage.
- Checkthe efficiency of yourelectricsupplyand earthing system;
connect the power cable of the machine to the socket and the
earth lead (yellow-green in colour) to the earthing system.
- When the tool head is in rest position (raised), the toothed
disk must be stationary.
- It is forbidden to work on the machine without its shields (these
are all white, blue or grey in colour).
- Always disconnect the machine from the power socket before
changing the disk or carrying out any maintenance job, even
in the case of abnormal machine operation.
- It is forbidden to disconnect the “man present” device, known
more correctly in the EEC as the “safety switch with hold-
down action”.

machine is operating.
- Do not shift the machine while it is cutting.
- Do not wear loose clothing with sleeves that are too long,
gloves that are too big, bracelets, chains or any other object
that could get caught in the machine during operation; tie back
long hair.
- Keep the area free of equipment, tools or any other object.
- Perform only one operation at a time and never have several
objects in your hands at the same time. Keep your hands as
clean as possible.
- All internal and/or internal operations, maintenance or repairs,
must be performed in a well-lit area or where there is sufficient
light from extra sources so as to avoid the risk of even slight
accidents.
1.2 - Location of shields against accidental
contact with the tool
- Grey metal shield screwed onto the disk head.
- Self-regulating mobile blue plastic shield, fitted coaxially with
the fixed shield.
1.3 - Electrical equipment according to European
Standard"CENELEC EN 60 204-1" which as-
similates, with some integrating modifications,
the publication "IEC 204-1"

General rules
Ifthemachineisto be permanently demolishedand/orscrapped,
divide the material to be disposed of according to type and
composition, as follows:
1) Cast iron or ferrous materials, composed of metal alone,
are secondary raw materials, so they may be taken to an
ironfoundryforre-smelting after having removedthecontents
(classified in point 3);
2) electrical components, including the cableandelectronicma-
terial(magneticcards,etc.), fall within thecategoryofmaterial
classified as being assimilable to urban waste according
to the laws of the European community, so they may be set
aside for collection by the public waste disposal service;
3) old mineral and synthetic and/or mixed oils, emulsified oils
and greases are special refuse, so they must be collected,
transported and subsequently disposed of by the old oil
disposal service.
NOTE: since standards and legislation concerning refuse in
generalisina state ofcontinuousevolutionandtherefore
subject to changes and variations, the user must keep
informed of the regulations in force at the time of
disposing of the machine tool, as these may differ from
those described above, which are to be considered as
a general guide line.

The cropper is now ready to start work, bearing in mind that the
CUTTING SPEED and the TYPE of DISC - combined with a
suitable descent of the head - are of decisive importance for
cutting quality and for machine performance (for further details
on this topic, see below in the chapter on “Material
classification and choice of disks”).
- When starting to cut with a new disk, in order to safeguard
its life and efficiency, the first two or three cuts must be
made while exerting a slight pressure on the part, so that
the time taken to cut is about double the normal time (see
below in the chapter on “Material classification and choice
of disks” in the section on
Running in the disk ).

9.2 - Choosing the disk
First of all the pitch of the teeth must be chosen, suitable for the
material to be cut, according to these criteria:
- parts with a thin and/or variable section such as profiles, pipes
and plate, need close toothing, so that the number of teeth
used simultaneously in cutting is from 3 to 6;
- parts with large transverse sections and solid sections need
widely spaced toothing to allow for the greater volume of the
shavings and better tooth penetration;
- parts made of soft material or plastic (light alloys, mild bronze,
teflon, wood, etc.) also require widely spaced toothing.

Sincetheaimistoobtain excellentcuttingquality, thevarious
parameters such as hardness of the material, shape and
thickness, transverse cutting section of the part to be
cut, choice of the type of cutting disk, cutting speed and
con-trol of head descent,mustbesuitablycombined.These
spe-cifications must therefore be harmoniously combined
in a single operating condition according to practical consi-
dera-tions and common sense, so as to achieve an optimum
condi-tion that does not require countless operations to
prepare the machine when there are many variations in the
job to be performed.The various problems that crop up from
time to ti-me will be solved more easily if the operator has a
good know-ledge of these specifications.
WE THEREFORE ADVISE YOU ALWAYS TO CHOOSE
ORIGINAL SPARE DISKS THAT GUARANTEE SUPERIOR
QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE.
8.6 - Oil disposal
The disposal of these products is controlled by strict regulations.
Please see the Chapter on “Machine dimensions - Transport
- Installation” in the section on
Dismantling .
8.7 - Special maintenance
Special maintenance operations must be carried out by skilled
personnel. However, we advise contacting THOMAS or their
dealer and/or importer. The term special maintenance also
covers the resetting of protection and safety equipment and
devices.

9.3 - Teeth pitch
As already stated, this depends on the following factors:
- hardness of the material
- dimensions of the section
- thickness of the wall.
Tooth shape
The profile of the toothing depends on the size, shape and
thickness of the section to be cut, either straight or at an angle.
It may also vary according to the pitch, but not so distinctly as
to make this an element for classification.
- Fine toothing is to be chosen for cutting small sections with a
profiled shape and tubular sections with thin walls (2-5 mm
depending on the material).
- Large toothing is suitable for cutting medium and large solid
sections or fairly thick profiled or tubular sections (over 5 mm).

9.7 - Type of disks
The disks differ essentially in their constructive characteristics,
such as:
- Tooth shape
- Tooth cutting angle
9.4 - Cutting and advance speed
The cutting speed (m/min) and the advance speed (cm2/min =
area travelled by the disk teeth when removing shavings) are
limited by the development of heat close to the tips of the teeth.
- The cutting speed is subordinate to the resistance of the
material (R = N/mm2), to its hardness (HRC) and to the
dimensions of the widest section.
- Too high an advance speed (= disk descent) tends to cause
the disk to deviate from the ideal cutting path, producing non
rectilinear cuts on both the vertical and the horizontal plane.
9.5 - Running in the disk
When cutting for the first time, it is good practice to run in
the tool making a series of cuts at a low advance speed
(=30-35cm2/minon material of averagedimensionswithrespect
to the cutting capacity and solid section of normal steel with
R = 410-510 N/mm2), generously spraying the cutting area
with lubricating coolant.
9.6 - Disk structure
The most commonly used disks are made of extra high speed
steel (HHS) of normal quality (HHS/DMo5) or superior quality
(HHS/Mo5 + Co5) with a treated tooth, which differentiates them
from the former on account of the high value of structural
resistance, greater resistance to seizing, absence of stress in
the mass and a better holding of lubricating coolant during work.
