4.8 - Dismantling
(because of deterioration and/or obsolescence)
General rules
If the machine is to be permanently demolished and/or scrapped,
divide the material to be disposed of according to type and composition, as follows:
1) Cast iron or ferrous materials, composed of
secondary raw materials, so they may be taken to an iron
foundry for re-smelting after having removed the contents
(classified in point 3);
2) electrical components, including the cable and electronic material (magnetic cards, etc.), fall within the category of material 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 gen-
eral is in a state of continuous evolution and therefore
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 MACHINE
7.1 - Blade tension assembly
The ideal tension of the blade is achie ved rotating the handwheel
until it stops against the microswitch button ( A ).
WARNING: the projection of the microswitch is f actory set during
inspection, after having tightened the blade on the lengthening
values indicated by its manufacturer as per specific dimensions
set with the help of a special gauge. If, when replacing the b lade,
the thickness and the width differ, it will be necessary to correct
the projection of the microswitch. For this purpose we suggest
to strictly select blades having the same features as the ones
mounted originally.
A
Ne pas approcher les mains ou les bras à la
zone
de coupe quand la machine fonctionne.
Note: In case the saw is not used for a period of time, release
the blade tension to avoid useless stress.
The band saw is now ready to start work, bearing in mind that
the CUTTING SPEED and the TYPE of BLADE - 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 classifica-
tion and blade selection”).
- 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 classification
and blade selection” in the section on
- Press the red emergency button ( 1 ) when there are condi-
tions of danger or malfunctions in general, so as to stop ma-
chine operation immediately.
Blade running-in
).
7.2 - Blade guide blocks
The blade is guided by means of adjustable pads set in place
during inspection as per the thickness of the blade with minimum play as shown in the figure.
11
In case the blade needs to be replaced, make sure to always
install 0.9 mm thick blades for which the blade guide pads have
been adjusted. In the case of toothed b lades with diff erent thic knesses adjustment should be carried out as follows:
- Loosen nut ( C ), screw ( B ) and loosen dowel ( D ) widening
the passage between the pads.
- Loosen the nuts ( H ) and the dowels ( I ) and rotate the pins
( E - G ) to widen the passage between the bearings ( F ).
- Mount the new blade, place the pad ( A ) on the blade and,
loosening the dowel, allow a play of 0.04 mm for the sliding of
the toothed blade; lock the relative nut and screw ( B ):
- Rotate the pins ( E - G ) until the bearings rest against the
blade as indicated in the figure and then secure the dowels ( I
) and nut ( H ).
- Make sure that between the blade and the upper teeth of the
pad ( L ) this is at least 0.2 - 0.3 mm of play; if necessar y,
loosen the screws that fasten the blocks and adjust accordingly.
7.3 - Vice
- The vice can be positioned either to the right or to the left of
the blade. Tight Lever ( 2 ) after positioning the vice to the far
right/left. The vice can slide very quickly by meand of the
handle ( 1 ); in case the the vice moves too loose along the
guide, tight the screws ( 3 ).
- Approach the vice jaw allowing 3-4 mm clearance between
jaw and material.

7.4 - Saw frame lowering control device
It is an accessory, ideal for the cutting of thin or STAINLESS
STEEL section bars, that determines a constant lowering and
consequently a good efficiency of the blade throughout the work
phase. By adjusting the ring nut on the base ( 9 ), this device
can be accommodated to the different situations and applications. Defectiveness in the control of the low ering may be caused
by the drop in braking power of the device due to the long-term
blow-by of the braking fluid.
Push rod (2) back into its seat and loosen plug (3). Use recommended oil to top up oil tank (4) with the help of a syringe-type
pump. Bleed air, after ha ving tightened plug (3) and loosen screw
(5) lightly until a little oil drip out; when this has been completed, secure the screw.
Use SHELL HYDRAULIC OIL 32 or similar.
11
7.6 - Blade cleaning brush
It is an ideal accessory for the cleaning of the blade during the
cutting cycle. P eriodically chec k the condition of the brush and if
necessary proceed to further adjustment to ensure cleaning of
the blade.
12
BEFORE PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS,
THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY AND THE POWER CABLE
MUST BE COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED.
7.7 - Changing the blade
To change the blade:
- Lift the saw frame.
- Loosen the blade with the handwheel, remove the mobile
blade-guard cover, open the flywheel guards and remove the
old blade from the flywheels and the blade guide blocks.
- Assemble the new blade by placing it first between the pads
and then on the race of the flywheels, paying particular attention to the cutting direction of the teeth.
- Tension the blade and make sure it perfectly fits inside the
seat of the flywheels.
- Assemble the mobile blade-guide enf the flywheel guard and
fasten it with the relative knobs. Check that the safety
microswitch is activated otherwise when electric connection
will be restored the machine will not start.
WARNING: always assemble blades having dimensions speci-
fied in this manual and for which the blade guide
heads have be set: otherwise, see chapter on “Description of the operating cycle” in the section Starting-up.

CHOICE OF TOOL
Since the aim is to obtain excellent cutting quality, the various parameters such as hardness of the material, shape
and thickness, transverse cutting section of the par t to
be cut, selection of the type of cutting blade, cutting
speed and control of saw frame lowering.These specifications must therefore be harmoniously combined in a single operating condition according to practical considerations
and common sense, so as to achieve an optimum condition
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

- 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;
- pieces cut in bundles require combo tooth design.
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 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/mm
sions of the widest section.
- Too high an advance speed (= lowering of the saw frame)
tends to cause the disk to deviate from the ideal cutting path,
producing non rectilinear cuts on both the vertical and the
horizontal plane.
The best combination of these two parameters can be seen
directly examining the chips.

as:
- shape and cutting angle of tooth

Long spiral-shaped chips indicate ideal
cutting.
Very fine or pulverized chips indicate lack
of feed and/or cutting pressure.
Thick and/or blue chips indicate overload
of the blade.
9.5 - Blade running-in
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

COMBO TOO TH: pitch varies between teeth and consequently
varying teeth size and varying gullet depths. Pitch varies between teeth which ensures a smoother, quieter cut and longer
blade life owing to the lack of vibration.

Another advantage offered in the use of this type of blade in the
fact that with an only blade it is possible to cut a wide range of
different materials in size and type.
COMBO TOO TH: 9° - 10° positive rake.

9.6 - Blade structure
Bi-metal blades are the most commonly used. They consist in a
silicon-steel blade backing with electron beam or laser welded
high speed steel (HHS) cutting edge. The type of stocks are
classified in M2, M42, M51 and differ from each other because
of their major hardness due to the increasing percentage of
Cobalt (Co) and molybdenum (Mo) contained in the metal alloy.
This type of blade is the most suitable for the cutting of section
bars and large and thick pipes as well as for the cutting of solid
bars at maximum machine capacity. Available pitches: 3-4/4-6.

Choose a suitable blade. See Chapter
“Material classification and blade selection”.
Check for clogging of cooling liquid drain
holes on the blade-guide blocks and that
flow is plentiful in order to facilitate the
removal of chips from the blade.
Material surfaces can be oxidised or covered with impurities making them, at the
beginning of the cut, harder that the blade
itself, or have hardened areas or inclusions inside the section due to productive agents used such as casting sand,
welding wastes, etc. Avoid cutting these
materials or in any case perform cutting
with extreme care, cleaning and removing such impurities as quickly as possible.
Check the gripping of the part.
Reduce feed and exert less cutting pressure.
Pay more attention when you start cutting.
Use a superior quality blade.
Accurately remove all the parts left in.
Make the cut elsewhere, turning the part.
Check gripping of the part.
Replace blade with a more suitable one.

The welding of the blade is of utmost importance. The meeting surfaces must
perfectly match and once they are welded
they must have no inclusions or bubbles;
the welded part must be perfectly smooth
and even. They must be evenly thick and
have no bulges that can cause dents or
instant breakage when sliding between
the blade guide pads.

are not blocked.
Check the emulsion percentage.
The support and guide flange of the band
are so worn out that they cannot ensure
the alignment of the blade, causing faulty
cutting; blade rolling and drawing tracks
can have become tapered. Replace them.
Clean with compressed air.
Decrease advance, exerting less cutting
pressure. Adjust the braking device.
Use a superior quality blade.
Replace it.
Blade used probably has too large teeth;
use one with more teeth (see “Material
classification and blade selection” in
the
Blade Types
Approach it as near as possible to material to be cut so that only the blade section employed in the cut is free, this will
prevent deflections that would excessively
stress the blade.

Voltage must arrive upstream from the
fuses (terminal board).
Check electrical efficiency and check for
shorts that trigger such protections.
Check closing of the flywheel guard.
Check the efficiency of the device; replace
it if damaged.
It must be turned to position 1 or 2.
Ensure that it is off and that its contacts
are unbroken.
Check mechanical efficiency; replace if
damaged.
Check current continuity on the two wires
in the prone after letting the motor cool
for about 10-15 minutes. If after this time
there is no current continuity in the two
wires, the motor must be changed or rewound.
Check that the supply voltage is the same
as the line voltage and that it gives a value
of 24 V at output.
Check fuse efficiency and ensure there
are no short circuits causing the protection to trip.

In accordance with point 1.7.4.f of the Machines Directive EEC 89/392
- The microphone was positioned close to the operator's head, at medium height.
- The saw during normal working condition, delivers the following acoustic pressure:
. On idle running : 65,7 dB (A).
. During cutting cycle sawing a UNI C40 steel bar diam. 50 : 64,4 dB (A).
- The maximum level of the WEIGHTED instantaneous acoustic pressure C was always less than 130 dB.
NOTE: with the machine operating, the noise level will vary according to the different materials being processed. The user must therefore assess the intensity and if necessary provide the operators with the necessary personal protection, as required by Law 277/
1991.
