1 About this manual
This document is the original operation manual for the Rail Saw SR-10-26-O & SR-10-26-1-O of PortaCo Inc., 1805 2nd Ave N,
Moorhead, MN 56560.
The Rail Saws are designed to cut rail which is mounted to ties from a standing position.
The operation manual is intended to enable the operator to safely operate the system as intended and warn them of foreseeable
misuse. The manual is intended for the operating company´s specialized staff. In addition to the operation manual, the spare parts
catalogue and the maintenance manual of the manufacturers of the individual components are to be observed.
WARNING
Operating errors using the device, e.g. by instruction errors, may lead to personal injury or damage to the
device.
- The instruction for use must be accessible to operators and maintenance personnel at all times!
- A copy of the technical documentation including the instruction for use must be kept in a suitable and
accessible place.
The explanation of the hazard pictograms is contained in chapter safety.

RAIL SAW SR-10-26-O & SR-10-26-1 ORIGINAL OPERATION MANUAL
2 General
This chapter contains basic information about the machine and is intended to provide an initial overview.
2.1 General information
The rail saw is designed to cut rail which is mounted to ties from a standing position. This tool will help eliminate the use of other
methods that increase the likely hood of injury. When properly used this tool will help reduce back strain and also reduce operator
fatigue.
The tool is hydraulically powered. The hydraulic energy is provided by a hydraulic unit. The hydraulic unit is not part of the scope of
delivery. We recommend the Hydraulic Power Units D-23, E-15, G-18, G-21, G-23 or G-31.
Further design information is shown and described in chapter 4.
Regarding ergonomics, the stresses and strains resulting from the device are typical for a device in the construction industry.

2.2 Designated use
The Rail Saws are designed to cut rail which is mounted to ties from a standing position.
To use the tool as intended, all persons who use the device must adhere to the guidelines in this operation manual.

2.3 Unintended use
- Do not allow others to be near the tool when starting it or while operating. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.
- Do not operate the tool near energized transmission lines.
- Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times.
- Connecting to power source which exceeds the required flow and pressure rating
- Always connect hydraulic hoses to the tool before activating the hydraulic circuit on your power unit. Check that hydraulic
couplers are secure before activating the circuit.
- Never operate a tool that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled.
- Never carry or pick this tool up by the hydraulic hose.
- Be sure to keep hands and other parts clear and free from all moving parts.
- During startup of the tool, do not rest the tool on any surface.
- Make sure the tool’s wheel has stopped turning before setting down tool.
- At the work site, never carry the tool with the wheel rotating.
- Always use sockets that meet the minimum requirements of the tool.
- Atmosphere temperature below -10°C/14°F or above 40°C/104F
- Hydraulic oil temperature below 10°C/50°F or above 80°C/180°F
2.4 Environment requirements
2.4.1 Operating requirements
The machine is designed for use on construction sites outdoors. It can be used at temperatures between
-10 °C to 40 °C (14°F to 104°F). The temperature of the hydraulic fluid should be at least 10 °C (50°F).
When working in tunnels, the country-specific safety regulations must be observed.
2.4.2 Emissions
In technically perfect condition, the A-weighted emission sound level at the work place is lower than 70 dB(A). Hearing protectors is
not required.
Other emissions do not occur during regular device operation.
In the event of damage, hydraulic fluid may leak. Should this be the case, eliminate the leak and remove any fluid which has leaked
with the intended binders.

3 Safety
3.1 Basics
The machine corresponds to the generally recognized standards of technology and practice. Nevertheless, knowledge of the
residual risks as well as general knowledge of the device is required to ensure safe and accident-free work.
The safety information is understood to be in addition to the existing accident prevention regulations and laws. The information is
intended to warn operating personnel about foreseeable misuse. Existing safety prevention measures and laws must be followed at
all costs!
The operation manual must be read and understood by all persons who work on the device. Introduction to the device is to be
documented in writing.
CAUTION
Hazards from the operational environment of the device can lead to injuries of persons.
- No alterations to the device may be made which lead to a change in function.
- All hazards from the environment or from unforeseeable operating conditions of the device cannot be
captured and depicted within this manual.
Modifications to the machine must be made by the distributing company. In this case this manual will also be
adapted.
The chapter on safety regulations serves to:
- explain the depiction of the safety regulations and symbols
- inform users about dangers, residual risks and measures for reducing risks
- specify the minimum requirements of the operating personnel
