This machine has been built to comply with the national and

community accident-prevention regulations in force.

Improper use and/or tampering with the safety devices will

relieve the manufacturer of all responsibility.

1.1 - Advice for the operator

- Check that the voltage indicated on the plate, normally fixed

to the machine motor, is the same as the line voltage.

- Checkthe efficiencyof yourelectricsupplyand earthingsystem;

connect the power cable of the machine to the socket and the

earth lead (yellow-green in colour) to the earthing system.

- When the tool head is in rest position (raised), the toothed

disk must be stationary.

- It is forbidden to work on the machine without its shields (these

are all white, grey or blue in colour).

- Always disconnect the machine from the power socket before

changing the disk or carrying out any maintenance job, even

in the case of abnormal machine operation.

- It is forbidden to disconnect the “man present” device, known

more correctly in the EEC as the “safety switch with hold-

down action”.

- Always wear suitable eye protection.

- Never put your hands or arms into the cutting area while the

machine is operating.

- Do not shift the machine while it is cutting.

- Do not wear loose clothing with sleeves that are too long,

gloves that are too big, bracelets, 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 several

objects in your hands at the same time. Keep your hands as

clean as possible.

- All internal and/or internal operations, maintenance or repairs,

must be performed in a well-lit area or where there is sufficient

light from extra sources so as to avoid the risk of even slight

accidents.

1.2 - Location of shields against accidental

contact with the tool

- Green metal shield screwed onto the disk head.

- Self-regulating mobile blue plastic shield, fitted coaxially with

the fixed shield.

1.3 - Electrical equipment according to European

Standard"CENELEC EN 60 204-1" which as-

similates, with some integrating modifications,

the publication "IEC 204-1"

- The electrical equipment ensures protection against electric

shock as a result of direct or indirect contact. The active parts

ofthis equipmentare housed ina boxto which accessis limited

by screws that can only be removed with a special tool; the

parts are fed with alternating current at low voltage (24 V).

The equipment is protected against splashes of water and

1REFERENCETOACCIDENT-

PREVENTIONREGULATIONS

dust.

- Protection of the system against short circuits is ensured by

means of rapid fuses and earthing; in the event of motor

overload, protection is provided by a thermal probe.

- In the event of a power cut, the specific start-up button must

be reset.

- The machine has been tested in conformity with point 20 of

EN 60204.

1.4 - Emergencies according to European

Standard "CENELEC EN 60 204-1"

- In the event of incorrect operation or of danger conditions, the

machine may be stopped immediately by pressing the red

mushroom button.

NOTE: Resetting of machine operation after each emergency

stop is achieved by reactivating the specific restart

button.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND

ADVICE FOR USE

2.1 - Recommendations and advice for using the

machine

- The machine has been designed to cut metal building

materials, with different shapes and profiles, used in

workshops, turner’s shops and general mechanical structural

work.

- Only one operator is needed to use the machine.

- To obtain good running-in of the machine it is advisable to

start using it at intervals of about half an hour. This operation

shouldbe repeatedtwoor threetimes, after whichthe machine

may be used continuously.

- Before starting each cutting operation, ensure that the part is

firmlygripped inthevice andthat theend issuitablysupported.

- Do not use disks of a different size from those stated in the

machine specifications.

- If the disk gets stuck in the cut, release the running button

immediately, switch off the machine, open the vice slowly,

remove the part and check that the disk or its teeth are not

broken. If they are broken, change the tool.

- Before carrying out any repairs on the machine, consult the

dealer or apply to THOMAS.

- If the sawing machine is to be out of use for a long period, it is

advisable to proceed as follows:

1) detach the plug from the electric supply panel

2) release the head return spring

3) empty the coolant tank

4) carefully clean and grease the machine

5) if necessary, cover the machine.

4.7 - Dismantling

6DESCRIPTION OF THE

OPERATING CYCLE

Before operating, all the main organs of the machine must

be set in optimum conditions (see the chapter on

“Regulating the machine”).

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 = 41 rpm.

position 2 = 82 rpm.

- Press the start/reset button ( 2 ): its green light will go on.

- Place material to be cut in the vice ( 4 ). Close jaws against

piece, keeping a distance of approx. 3 - 4 mm then clamp

with lever.

- Grip the handle ( 6 ) of the HEAD control arm and press the

button, checking that the disk is turning in the direction

indicated (if not, invert the two phase leads):

and that sufficient coolant is coming out.

The cropper is now ready to start work, bearing in mind that the

CUTTING SPEED and the TYPE of DISC - 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

classification and choice of disks”).

- When starting to cut with a new disk, in order to safeguard

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 choice

of disks” in the section on

Running in the disk

- Pressthe redemergency button( 1 )when thereare conditions

of danger or malfunctions in general, so as to stop machine

operation immediately.

REGULATING

THE

MACHINE

7.1 - Disk head

- If excessive axial play is found on the hinge, it will be sufficient

to tighten the screws ( 7 ), paying attention not to make the

joint too tight.

7.2 - Vice

- The device does not require any particular adjustment.

SUPER CUTSUPER CUT

SUPER CUT

7.3 - Cutting angle adjustment

- Release lever ( 1 ), rotate the cutting head and make sure

thatthe wantedcuttingangle perfectlymeetswith thereference

index before locking with the lever ( 1 ).

BEFORE PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS,

THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY AND THE POWER CABLE

MUST BE COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED.

7.4 - Changing the disk

To change the disk:

- Release the mobile yellow, white or orange guard and turn it back.

- Block a piece of wood in the vice and lean the disk on it.

- Insert the special spanner provided and remove the screw

( 1 ), slackening it in a clockwise direction because it has a

left-handed thread, then slip off the flange that holds the disk.

- Fit the new disk, checking the cutting direction of the teeth,

thenreplace theflange, thescrewand themobile white, yellow

or orange guard.

AND SPECIAL

MAINTENANCE

THEMAINTENANCEJOBS ARE LISTEDBELOW,DIVIDED

INTO DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY AND SIX-MONTHLY

INTERVALS. IF THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS ARE

NEGLECTED, THE RESULT WILL BE PREMATURE WEAR

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 %.
