to the machine motor, is the same as the line voltage.
•Check the efficiency of your electric supply and grounding
system;connectthepowercableofthemachinetothe socket
and the ground lead (yellow-green in color) to the ground
system.
•When the tool head is in rest position (raised), the toothed
blade must be stationary.
•It is not recommended to operate saw without its shields
(these are all white, blue or grey in color).
•Always disconnect the power source before changing the
blade or carrying out any maintenance job, even in the case
of abnormal machine operation.
•It is not recommended to disconnect the “man present” de-
vice, known more correctly in the EEC as the “safety switch
with hold-down action”.
•Always wear eye protection.
•Never put your hands or arms into the cutting area while the
machine is operating.
•Do not move the machine while it is cutting.
•Do not wear loose clothing , gloves that are too big, brace-
lets, 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 sev-
eral objects in your hands at the same time.
•All internal and/or external operations, maintenance or re-
pairs, should be performed in a well-lit area or where there
is sufficient light from extra sources so as to avoid the risk of
accidents.
1.2 — Location of shields against accidental
contact with the tool
•Grey metal shield screwed onto the saw head.
•Self-regulating mobile blue plastic shield, fitted coaxially with

6Description of the
Operating Cycle
6.1 — Starting up and cutting cycle
• Ensure that the machine is not in emergency stop condition;
if it is, release the red mushroom button (1).
• Select the cutting speed on the switch (3):
position 1 = 40 rpm
position 2 = 80 rpm
• Press the start/reset button (2): green light will go on.
• Place material to be cut in the vice (4) and clamp the part
into place by handwheel (5).
• Grip the handle (6) of the HEAD control arm and press the
button, checking that the blade is turning in the direction
indicated (if not, invert the two phase leads) and that suffi-
cient coolant is flowing.
• When starting to cut with a new blade, in order to safe-
guard 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 classi-
fication and choice of blades” in the section on
Breaking
in the blade
).
• Press the red emergency button (1) when there are condi-
tions of danger or malfunctions in general, so as to stop
machine operation immediately.

8.4 — Six-monthly maintenance
• Change the oil in the reduction unit using oil type GEARCO
85W-140 by NATIONAL CHEMSERACH or MOBIL
GLYCOLE 30 or KLUBER SINTHESO 460 EP or an equiva-
lent oil, proceed as follows:
• Removethe connecting plug
from the electric box and
un-screw the head moving
lever.
• Drainthe old oilfrom the cap
at the side (1).
• Pour in new oil up to the
mark (1), through the lever
fixinghole, keepingthe head
in a horizontal position (2).
• Reassemble all the parts.
• Check continuity of the equi-
potential protection circuit.
8.5 — Oils for lubricating coolant
Considering the vast range of products on the market, the
user can choose the one most suited to his own requirements,
using as reference the type SHELL LUTEM OIL ECO.
The minimum percentage of oil diluted in water is 8 - 10 %.
8.6 — Special maintenance
Special maintenance operations can be carried out by skilled
personnel, or contact Parker TFD or distribution personnel.
9Material Classifiation and
Choice of Tool
Since the aim is to obtain excellent cutting quality, the various
parameters such as
hardness of the material, shape and thick-
ness, transverse cutting section
of the part to be cut,
choice of
the type of cutting blade, cutting speed
and
control of head
descent
, must be suitably combined.These specifications must
therefore be combined in a single operating condition accord-
ing to practical considerations and common sense, so as to
achieve optimum conditions.
We therefore advise you always to choose original spare
blades that guarantee superior quality and performance.

9.2 — Choosing the blade
First of all, the pitch of the teeth must be chosen, according to
these criteria:
• Parts with a thin and/or variable section such as profiles,
pipes and plate, need close teeth, 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 teeth to allow for the greater volume of the
shavings and better tooth penetration;
• Partsmade of softmaterialor plastic (lightalloys,mild bronze,
teflon, wood, etc.) also require widely spaced teeth.
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
9.4 — Cutting and advance speed
The cutting speed (m/min) and the advance speed (cm2/min =
area travelled by the blade teeth when removing shavings) are
limited by the heat build up at 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 di-
mensions of the widest section.
• Too high an advance speed (= blade descent) tends to cause
the blade to deviate from the ideal cutting path, producing
non rectilinear cuts on both the vertical and the horizontal
plane.
9.5 — Breaking in the blade
When cutting for the first time, it is good practice to break in
the tool making a series of cuts at a low advance speed
(= 30-35 cm2/min on material of average dimensions with re-
spect 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 —Type of blades
Blades differ in their constructive characteristics, such as:
• Tooth shape
• Tooth cutting angle
Tooth shape
The profile of the teeth depends on the size, shape and thick-
ness 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 teeth are 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 teeth are suitable for cutting medium and large solid
sections or fairly thick profiled or tubular sections (over 5
mm).

Large toothing with roughing Blades made in this way
tooth with rake on both sides, are used for cutting non-
alternating with a finishing ferrous metals, such as
tooth without rake. The light alloys and plastics,
roughing tooth is 0.15- and in woodworking. The
0.30 mm higher. teeth are hard metal
(HM) plates brazed onto
the body of the blade;
there are various types
and shapes and, consid
ering the vastness of the
field.
