3 - MACHINE NOISE

The decibel pointed out in the workplace in the conditions under described is appointed to the simoultaneous working of
some machine parts in motion ( it depends on the detailed cycle ) added to that one of the tool when is cutting the
workpiece.
In several moments the decibel are pointed out to note the different using conditions.

The phon-meter is placed at about 1 meter near the machine and at about 1,60 m from the floor.
The results of each test is in dBA and they mean the average of 3 tests made from the: left side, opposite side,
right side.

For any machines the using conditions are the following :

When idle, at the maximum blade speed: dBA 66
During the cut, at a suited blade speed, cutting solid steel (St12=≈C20, 50mm diameter): dBA 88

(tolerance ± 2dB).
In the standard production the test is made by a same machine of above mentioned one, in compliance with E.C.
safety norms 2006/42/CE .
The use of the machine in bad conditions or the use of the wrong tools cause also sensitive alterations of these tests
and it is prejudicial for the health of the taff and for the good results of the work .
Most of all the noice depends on the cutting material, on its sizes and on the locking system.
By expecting that above mentioned decibels could be exceeded, we recommend the operator the using of the personal
means of protection ( head phones, plugs etc. ) in case of working a long time at highest levels, taking into account
other possible machinery running nearby and the characteristics of the working place

 3.1 - ADDITIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

This type of machine, manually controlled during some working operations, must respond to further health and safety
requirements as specified by article 2.2 of the Annexed I of the European Directive 2006/42/CE and previous following.
In particular, the level of vibrations emitted by the machine while in use must be clearly specified in the instructions.
This machine does not emit vibrations of a level higher than 2,5 m/s 2

The measurement procedure used conforms to the general norms applied to this type of machine.

As in the preceding paragraph, using the machine in unsuitable conditions or using the wrong tools can cause
changes affecting this value, endangering the health of the work force as well as the quality of production.
Vibrations emitted during cutting may be amplified by the material, by its dimensions and its
positioning/clamping in the vice.

10 - BLADE CHOICE
In this paragraph we suggest the type of blade to use for cutting and the material that must be worked. To get the best

performance from this machine it is necessary to understand the right applications of the used tools and what you have
not to do with them.

The blade you have to use must have the following dimensions (in mm.):

overall diameter = 300 max./250 min. ( for PERFECT 300 )
overall diameter = 275 max./225 min. ( for PERFECT 275 )
overall diameter = 250 max./200 min. ( for PERFECT 250 )
hole diameter = 32
thickness = 2 or 2,5

2 holes for the driving pin = d.10 x 63 or d. 12 x 64

P.S. You can get the maximum cutting sizes by using the blade of maximum diameter.

For making a right cut it is also necessary to establish the pitch ( t ) or the suitable number of teeth ( z ). The
blade must usually have the toothing as follows:

- close toothing (little teeth) for cutting thin materials, tubular and profiles.

- thin toothing (big teeth) for cutting solid materials or pieces that need a long piece of blade (for example the central
part of a “U” profile ), or more soft materials as aluminium, copper, soft bronze.

By choosing the right one you can avoid a lot of working errors and you can get a good blade penetration and the
necessary space for the chips.

If you cut more pieces at the same time, you must consider them as one piece (that is you have to consider the
global size).
The enclosed table shows the necessary information for a right choice. It can also be updated or changed by the
user according to his personal experiences.

The parts in motion ( band guides, trolleys, pivots, bearing support, bearing disc etc. ) are already lubricated.
The possible pneumatic installation ( for ex. for the vice of the model PERFECT 300 ) is ready to start.

13.1 - COOLING AND LUBRICATION PLANT
Prepare the lubricant in a case by mixing cutting oil and water in the proportion 1/10, 1/15 or according to the
instructions of the supplier ( a quantity of 10 l about also allows to make the fill up).
Pour out some lubricant into the tank through the loading hole until to fill it, or directly on the loading table; keep that the
coolant doesnot come out the base. The suction pipe passes by a filter ( washable and/or replaceable ) and it is
connected to the meccanic pump which is drived by the electrical motor . When the machine is new, it is necessary to
idle the motor to suction the coolant until the delivery nozzle .
After cooling the blade , some of the coolant is directed with the chips to the tank to be filtered and used again.

- 13.2 - PNEUMATIC CONNECTION ( if a pneumatic vice is fitted )
It is suitable to connect the machine to an installation supplied at least with :a condensate discharger, filter and
reducer gear to stabilize the pressure to 6/8 BAR . It is recommended to reduce again the in the case you work with
material capable of being deformed .

13.3 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Verify that the voltage and the power frequency are compatible with numbers reported in the technical data plate ( It is
placed on the right side of the head column) a difference over 10% causes some working unevenness more or less
manifested.

Connect the switch to a suitable socket or replace it with that of normal use( in the case the switch must be
replaced , the work must be done by an electrician ). The phasing performed by the manufacturer allows to get
a rotation of all motors by connecting the wires in the following order L1=R, L2=S, L3=T, anyhow check as
follows : ( with compressed air connected, is necessary, pressure not lower than 2 BAR ).

a) turn on the main switch placed on the electrical control device to give current to the installation ( for some models
only ).
b) turn on 1 the motor speed selector ( for models equipped with 3 phase motor at 2 speeds only ).
c) push the button placed inside the handle of the control lever.
d) be sure that the spindle turns in the sense shown by the PRINTED ARROW ON THE PROTECTION GUARD ­pos.11/RI0130-.

If not, turn off the machine, disconnect the feeding plug, reverse the connection of the both line connection wire,
excluding the green/yellow cable of grounding and start again from point a).

Attention : ( for some versions only ) the starting of the motor of the machine equipped with pneumatic vice is
only possible if the pneumatic vice is rightly connected to the pneumatic installation and the vice is closed (
by lowering the head ) .

e) Be sure that coolant is sucked in by the tank and it arrives in the cutting area, if not please control the cock position.
f) stop the working by releasing the button placed inside the handle.

9 - Rapid locking / unlocking of the vice -pos.7/dr.RI0128-(only for PERFECT 275 and 300).

- 15.1 - - CUTTING SETTING

Please read the previous paragraph - BLADE CHOICE - for a right use as regards to the workpiece to cut .

Put the workpiece ( that you have to cut ) in the vice by keeping 2/3 mm between the piece and the jaws, necessary for
a better using of rapid clamping action and place it rightly according to the cutting line .
Be sure that the handle -pos.1/dr.RI0129 - locks the rotation of the work table.
Lock the workpiece inside the jaws by the lever - pos.7/dr.RI0128- ( or by lowering the saw frame in the models with
pneumatic vice ).

Check that the workpiece is well locked!

Turn on the main switch - if mounted - , select the motor speed (only 2 speed models) with the control­pos.2/dr.RI0128- and push the start pushbutton placed inside the handle -pos.4/dr.RI0128- . Adjust the cooling flow by
the tap -pos.1/RI0130-.
Start the descent and cut by keeping a constant penetration speed.
If necessary, adjust the projection of the stroke end vice-pos.8/dr.RI0128- as regards to the cut you need.

NEVER CHANGE THE MOTOR ROTATION SPEED WHILE CUTTING OR BLADE RUNS.

If you use blades less than the max. allowed diameter, probably you have to change the position of the safety screw
of downfeed stroke ( it assure that the blade can’t cut the machine base), and check the carter position too.
Every time you change the diameter of blade check this safety SCREW position.

15.2 - CLUTCH USE (ONLY FOR PERFECT 275 AND 300)

The scope of the clutch is to avoid damages to the inside-members or blade breaks in case of abrupt locks of
the teeth inside the material to cut . As the clutch is mounted outside of the regulator gear head, it works dry and it is

very easy to control. In case the teeth of the blade lock inside the piece, the clutch controls rightly if it has been adjusted
as to the spindle wheels 1/2 turn about-pos.7/dr.RI0118- before also locking the motor rotation. To keep perfectly

this member, rightly clean it and cancel the trails of oil from the conical surfaces of the parts-pos.3, 4, 5 and
6/dr.RI0118 - when needing to mount the blade. Avoid to hardly lock the closing screw -pos.1/dr.RI0118-, by

preventing the " sliding " of the clutch when necessary.

15.3 - STOP/ EMERGENCY STOP
MANUAL SAWING MACHINES with start/stop push-button in the control grip.

On these models the presence of the emergency stop push-button, like thus specific in the European Norm
EN13898, is not demanded. See the paragraph 5.3.3.4. of a.m. Norm.

This norm of September 2003, concerning bandsaws and circular saws, confirms what specified previously in the
norms EN 418, EN 60204, prEN13898.
IMET has always respected these regulations, to be able to apply the CE mark, Declaration of Conformity, on its own
products
At any time it is possible to stop the cycle:

- by releasing the pushbutton inside the handle-pos.4/dr.RI0128- the control circuit of the machine stops;

- by turning off the main switch ( if mounted ) the current of the machine is off .

- by disconnecting the plug from the switch the feeding machine locks.
In the case of interruption of the current, if the main switch -pos.1/dr.RI0128 (If mounted) - it turns at 0 position and it
is necessary to turn it on to start the machine again.

- 15.4 - HEAD ROTATION FOR OBLIQUE CUTTING

TRADUCTION OF THE ORIGINAL USER INSTRUCTIONS

PERFECT 250-275-300eng ED.2010 rev.00

27/40

To make cuts between 45 deg. right and 45 deg. left it is necessary the following :

- no material on the work table or tighted in the vice.

- unlock the lever -pos.1/dr.RI0129 - by wheeling it towards the right .

- completely lower the reducer head ( at the end of the cut ) and wheel it by the handle supporting rod ­pos.4/dr.RI0128- until reading on the scale -pos.9/dr.RI0128- the required angle, then lock the lever-pos.1/dr.RI0129­again.

On the model PERFECT 300, during thiese operations be sure that the anti-burr arm-pos.10/dr.RI0128 - and the
closing jaw -pos.11/dr.RI0128- do not interferes the blade cutting line, otherwise displace them by loosing
before the respective fixing screws .

- 15.5 - VICE ROTATION FOR OBLIQUE CUTS (ONLY FOR PERFECT 275 AND 300)
It is possible to make the same inclined cuts by wheeling the vice instead of the cutting unit ( only if : you are not cutting
too long pieces ).
To do this : loosen the grub screw -pos.6/dr.RI0128 - some turns, wheel the lever below to the base-pos.1/dr.RI0129 ­towards the right and wheel the the vice by keeping the reducer head up.

15.6 - OVERLOAD PROTECTIONS

The motor is protected against overheating by bi-metal thermo-protectors (placed directly inside the winding),
that stop the control circuit.

If you want to start again the machine, you have to wait that the temperature falls below the fixed limit of interventation,.
In the meantime try to remove the causes, that have brought to this overheating, for ex. the blade is locked in the
workpiece, the cutting speed is too high, the motor is in short circuit, an so on.

16 - ADJUSTMENTS ( disconnect machine from electrical supply )
VICE ­ Only for PERFECT 300 : there is the possibility to adjust the locking force of the anti-burr arm-pos.10/dr.RI0128 - ( by
the screw-pos.12/dr.RI0128- that has to be unscrewed or screwed after loosening the screw-pos.2/dr.RI0130 ), in the
case that the cutpiece is not rightly teightened.

-Only for PERFECT 300 : adjustment of the shake of the guides by the nuts + grub screws : ( also exclude the
air from the models with pneumatic vice ) completely open the vice -pos.3/dr.RI0130- loosen any nuts-pos.4/dr.RI0130

- and starting from the first grub screws-pos.5/dr.RI0130- increase the locking pressure that they do; then screw the
grub screws that are aligned with the fixed part-pos.6/dr.RI0130 - of the vice and lock them by the nut. Close the vice
and adjust the remaining grub screws .
Be sure of the result of the adjustment by opening and closing the vice again. Repeat if necessary.

For the other models , you can only adjust the lenght of the anti-burr device , with the proper screws.

Head - elimination of the coupling shake between reducer head and supporting, in case that after the use, the
oscillation pin has an excessive shake .
Concerning to the dr.RI0130 :
screw the big self-locking ring ( with right thread )-pos.7 and try to lower and lift several times the reducer head, ( as
suggested in pos.8- ) to keep the efficacy of the adjustment .
Repeat the working until to find the best conditions of use .
In case that the shake has to be increased on the pin, loosen the self-locking ring.

Locking of the vice + head - if after the using , the cutting unit and the vice are not locked anymore in an
efficace way by the lever that projects from the base, it is necessary to adjust the stroke like this : ( see dr.RI0129 ),

wheel the lever -pos.1- in the unlocking position , loosen the jam nut -pos.2- connected with the nut-pos.3- and screw
this last one
Lock again the jam nut -pos.2- and control the efficacy of the adjustment, then repeat if necessary.

Do it daily or more frequently if you do a demanding work.
Remove the metal chips of the machine by conveying the little ones on the back punched that can be removed to
arrive to the filter ( it should be cleaned with clean water ) below.
Restore the coolant level in the tank;
Check upon the blade conditions and replace it if necessary;
Clean the machine every week, lubricate any joint points and the sliding surfaces with oil or grease;
Be sure that there is some oil in the reducer gear by the level light-pos.13/dr.RI0128 : with the cutting unit completely
down , the oil must reach at the half of the level light.
Every month replace the coolant and clean the tank placed in the floor stand.
Oil the oscillation pin between the reducer head and the support.
Be sure that any screws and nuts, that can loosened when using, are locked.
Insure that stroke end and switches are working , be sure of the conditions of the cables, tubes and hydropneumatic
connections .
Test all devices that are not usually very used.
Yearly - or every 2000 working hours- replace the oil that is in the reducer head- as suggested in the paragraph
MACHINE RUNNING-IN.

Replacement of the bronce wheel - is the most difficult maintenance operation of the machine ; it is necessary
when the excessive wear and tear causes the brake of one or more teeth of the bronze gear mounted in the blade

holder shaft.( Refer to the dr.RI0131 ).
First of all disconnect the feeding plug from the electrical line .
Remove the blade from the spindle , disconnect the back spring-pos.3- take away the discharging lid-pos.1- and drain
the oil. Wheel the blade cover protection back by loosening the frontal locking screw.
Remove the pump fixed with 2 screws to the fan motor cover. Also remove the fan cover -pos.4-. Remove the 4 screws
that lock the part-pos.8- and wheel the end of the shaft-pos.6- in the anticlockwise, then the full unit -pos.9- will move
from its seat.
Take the two rings-pos.5- off from the shaft and remove the 3 screws that lock the flange-pos.7- to the reducer head.
Remove the oil light -pos.10- and beat with a proper tool ( for ex. a wood spacer + hammer ) through the hole until the
complete shaft-pos.6- comes out.
Dismantle the bronze ring and replace it with a new one, by keeping clean the coupling surfaces.
To mount it again make the above mentioned operations in the opposite way.
We recommend to replace the both oil seal rings ( marked with P ) after each dismantling of the reducer head.

The steel endless screw ( mounted in the motor shaft ) suffers not so much the wear and tear so it is not
compulsory to replace it with the wheel.

18 - BLADE RUNNING-IN

For granting a better machine efficiency and a longer blade life it is really necessary a good running-in of the
machine.

For the first works we recommend to reduce the penetration speed of the blade in the workpiece until half of the normal
value - about 60/70 cm² / min.- and keep the blade rotation speed constant. Only after cutting 250/350 cm² of the
material it is possible to increase the penetration speed till reaching the normal value.
The working conditions can be also valued by considering the chips produced during the cutting; you can find 3 kinds of
chips:
THIN OR POWDERED CHIPS indicate poor advancing pressure and / or low speed, too little teeth.
BIG CHIPS - MAYBE BLUE / BROWN indicate overload on the blade, poor lubricating.
SPIRAL AND RIGHT ENVELOPPED CHIPS indicate the ideal cutting conditions.

N.B.: This kind of blade can be sharpened again for many times before being replaced. But it is necessary that the
sharpening operation is made by keeping the initial features not to limit the using conditions or to cause the bad working
of the machine. The sharping process always causes a reduction of the original diameter and a variation of the teeth
form, that cannot be accepted over some values.

For a right use see the paragraph CHOICE OF THE BLADE.

19- MACHINE RUNNING-IN
The recurrent maintenance that this machine needs is necessary to guarantee the continuous right working in the time
and to keep the starting features of the machine.At the beginning of the use you must do some extra operations to allow
to the all parts of the machine to settle down in the final using conditions.

Please check frequently the working of the machine and do not force it to make too much cuts or to lock the
blade into the material.

For a time of 60/80 working hours control the oil level of the reducer head by the side pilot light-pos.13/dr.RI0128-.
After this time pour out the oil ( better if it is hot ) by removing the lower tap -pos.1/dr.RI0131-, then drain it completely.
Place the tape again and put in some gasoil by the hole of the upper tap-pos.2/dr.RI0131- to clean inside.
Idle the motor some seconds, discharge the cleaning liquid and put in new oil- 0.5 litres about- until restoring its level (
with the head down the oil must reach the half of the pilot light-pos.13/dr.RI0128- ).

The PERFECT 250 model not have the inlet/outlet oli plugs: it is necessary keep out the side pilot light to drain
the exhaust oil.
To refill you have to unscrew the control lever ( the one with the handle) and pour into the head 0,3 litres of
oil.

Note : The presence of bronze or iron particles in the replaced oil is normal. The heating of the mecanichal parts is part
of the normal working and anyway it does not go over the limits of the standard thermic conditions.

Please see the “OIL AND LUBRICANTS “ paragraph to choose the most suitable one and to compare the different
types.

- 20 - DRAINING OF USED / PRODUCED SUBSTANCES

 Please remember to abide by the current Law Norms concerning the draining of:

- materials used by the machine (for example hydraulic circuit oil, reduction gear oil, oil for installations of lubrication
and so on);

- scrap materials or materials not usable anymore (for example ferrous and not ferrous chips, tools like blades and so
on);

- substances used for cleaning and maintenance;

- materials used in some instances of the machine life (for example when packing, shipping and so on).
