This machine is entirely protected where it can be dangerous. Despite of this, there are some parts that cannot be protected,
and where the operator must never work. The biggest of these parts is where the blade touches material.
There is a sticker close to every part which is not completely safe, to show to the operator that he should be extremely conscious.
8. HOW TO MOVE THE MACHINE
This machine, when installed and fastened to the ground must be considered a fix equipment.
If it is necessary to move the machine or parts of it (because of maintenance or service), the operator must use a crank or a
fork lift, or a lighter lifter with regards of the weight of the part that have to be lifted.
9. HOW TO INSTALL THE MACHINE
The machine can be installed by :
• the manufacturer/distributor ;
• the customer ;
The machine is shipped completely mounted.
Moving the machine is one of the moment the risk of injuries is higher, thus it is important to make sure that :
• Every operator wears the necessary safety equipment.
• The lifting equipment must be enough big to lift the machine. Always use only one lifting equipment to lift the machine,
never combine more then one.
• Do not use a lift fork if the length and width of the forks are inadequate to lift the machine.
• If using a crank, use metallic ropes and be sure they can support the weight of the machine. Put strong cartoon or wood
between the ropes and the machine. Never leave the ropes slide freely on the machine body.
• Do not use metallic ropes if they show wear areas.
• Lift the machine slowly so to have enough time to adjust the lifting if necessary or to avoid obstacles.
• In the lifting area there should be enough people to move safely the machine, and do not allow anyone else to stay in the
lifting area during such operation.
• Be sure that every moveable part is well fastened to the machine. Remove or secure every part which falling can be dan-
gerous for the people in the work area.
• Move the machine paying attention to the surrounding environment. Be extremely cautious so to avoid hitting anyone or
anything.
• Moving the machine, stay as close as you can to the ground to avoid that a rope brake could generate dangers or serious
machine breaks.
• If necessary, put pieces of wood under the machine base before putting it down.

001. If no conveying systems are provided along with the machine, type the same program number (if the current program is the 001, then type
001).
5. Press the E button to enter your choice. The cursor is now on Cycle, and it is therefore necessary to type the number of time we want to perform
program 001. When typed, press E. If there is a conveying system, type the number of bars you are going to cut.
6. The Tot line gives the operator the number of cycles the machine has already done. Type 0, then press E.
7. It is necessary also to set the blade speed. The variable depends on the material you are trying to cut : please, make reference to the attached exhibit
when possible, otherwise call the manufacturer. The blade speed range goes from 0 up to 100 meters per minute ; type the right value and then
press E.
8. As optional for the machine, the operator can control from the NC the head feed rate modifying the PRESS (included between 0 and 100) If the
value is correct, move down pressing ↓.

9. The cursor is now down in the lower area of the edit screen, where the operator has to input lengths and number of cuts. Type the program and
then press E Following there is an example of a complete program ready to run.
When all the different lengths have been inserted, go to the following line (in this example line 5) type 0 (zero) and enter it pressing E. All the values below will turn to zero.
10. Press the BRK button, and the cursor will go back to PROG.
11. If the NEXT value is different than the current program number, it is necessary to complete also the program which NEXT makes reference to.
12.1.6 To reduce the waste of material
The cut must be planned so to reduce the amount of material that has to be wasted. The operator has to pay attention to this kind of problem when entering the lengths and the cuts. For example :
This is an example of a program which use the bar reducing the quantity of waste. In fact, if the bar is 6 meters long :
(1000+2) x 2=2004

Edition A
(800+2) x 3=2406
(500+2) x 3=1506
(50+2) x 1= 52
Total=5960
The blade thickness (2 mm. in this example) is set in the fix machine parameters, which can be modified only by the manufacturer. Every length the operator inputs, the NC adds the blade thickness.
To execute this program, the operator should turn the Auto/Manual switch on Auto.
12.1.7. Semi-automatic cycle
The CN015 programmer allows to operate in semi-automatic controlling the length. For example, if the operator has to cut a
bar which was previously cropped without to crop it again, press
→
button and the semi-automatic screen appears showing
↑
the actual position of the index.
Type the desired length, then press E and then START (i.e. 100 “E” - “START”)
To exit the semi-automatic and going back to the edit screen just press BRK
Following there is an example of a semi-automatic cut :
• Open both the rear and the index vises.
• Raise the workstop and move the bar against it
• Insert the semi-automatic cycle and enter the desired length adding the blade thickness (i.e. 100+2) = 102, then press E
and START.
• The index moves backward ; when it stops, clamp the piece.
• Raise the blade and make sure the rear vises are open.
• Type 0 (zero), then E, then START. The index will move forward feeding the material.
• When the index stops, clamp the material using the rear vises, press the BRK button and the automatic cycle will start.
Please, note that the saw will consider this cut as a crop cut, thus the operator should count a cut less then the number needed
(i.e. : input two if he needs three parts).

12.1.8 Multi-length programs
If a cutting program has more than a length (the operator inputted from 2 up to 10 lines), the saw will operate as follow
• the machine cuts all the pieces included in the first line of program ;
• when at the last piece of the first line, the index will move to the length set in the second program line ;
• when the machine has to cut the last part of the last line, the index will move to zero.
