- Check the efficiency of your electric supply and earthing system; connect the power cable of the machine to the socket and the earth
lead yellow-green in colour) to the earthing system.
- When the saw frame is in suspend mode (up) the toothed blade must not move.
- Only the blade section used for cutting must be kept unprotected. Remove guarding by operating on the adjustable head.
- It is forbidden to work on the machine without its shields (these are all blue or grey in colour).
- Do not use any artful system or device (for ex. shim) to prevent the vice from locking the workpiece. Do not hold the workpiece with
your hand during the cutting process.
- Do not charge the workpiece from the right to the left-hand side with respect of the machine front.
- Always disconnect the machine from the power socket before blade change or carrying out any maintenance job, even in the case
of abnormal machine operation.
- Always wear suitable eye protection.
- Never put your hands or arms into the cutting area while the machine is operating.
- 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
- Blue or grey metal shield fixed frontally with screws to the fixed blade-guiding block (Ref. A).
- Blue or grey shield fixed with screws to the adjustable blade-guiding block. Guarantees that the section of blade which exceeds the

(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 metal alone, are 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 ma-terial
(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.
7
SAR 331 SA GDS
NOTE: since standards and legislation concerning refuse in general 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.

- Always keep the vice guide and relative thread clean and
oiled.
The blade is guided by plates that are regulated during the
testing phase according to the thickness of the blade. The minimum clearance indicated in the figures should be maintained.
When the blade is to be replaced, make sure to always fit belts
with a 0.9 mm thickness because the blade-guiding plates have
been regulated for this thickness. If using toothed belts with
different thicknesses a new regulation must be carried out as
follows:
- Loosen the screw (1) and unscrew the grub screws (2), widening the space between the plates.
- Loosen the nuts (3) and the grub screws (4) and rotate the
pins (5 - 6) to widen the space between the bearings (7).
- Insert the new blade, then place the plate (8) against it. Tighten
the grub screws (2), leaving a 0.04 mm clearance to ensure
that the toothed belt slides well. After this, tighten the relative
nuts and the screw (1).

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 part 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 time will be solved more easily if the operator has a good
knoledge of these specifications.
WE THEREFORE RECOMMEND YOU TO ALWAYS USE
GENUINE SPARE BLADES THAT GUARANTEE SUPERIOR
QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE.
9.1 - Definition of materials
The table at the foot of the page lists the characteristics of the materials to be cut, so as to choose the right tool to use.
be cut, according to these criteria:
- 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.

9.7 - Blade type
They differ essentially in their constructive characteristics, such as:
- shape and cutting angle of tooth
- pitch
- set
Shape and angle of tooth
Ø = DIAMETER
L = WIDTH
REGULAR TOOTH: 0° rake and constant pitch.
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/mm2), to its hardness (HRC) and to the dimensions 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.
Most common form for transversal or inclined cutting of solid small
and average cross-sections or pipes, in laminated mild steel and
grey iron or general metal.
POSITIVE RAKE TOOTH: 9° - 10° positive rake and constant pitch.
positive
The best combination of these two parameters can be seen directly
examining the chips.
Long spiral-shaped chips indicate ideal cutting.
Particular use for crosswise or inclined cuts in solid sections or large
pipes, but above all harder materials (highly alloyed and stainless
steels, special bronze and forge pig).
Very fine or pulverized chips indicate lack of
feed and/or cutting pressure.
COMBO TOOTH: 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
Thick and/or blue chips indicate overload of
the blade.
distance between teeth
9.5 - Blade running-in
materials in size and type.
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
(= 30-35 cm2/min on material of average dimensions with respect
to the cutting capacity and solid section of normal steel with R =
410-510 N/mm2), generously spraying the cutting area with lubricating coolant.
COMBO TOOTH: 9° - 10° positive rake.
positive
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.

the cutting of pipes and thin section bars (from 1 to 3 mm).
Set
Saw teeth bent out of the plane of the saw body, resulting in a wide
cut in the workpiece.
REGULAR OR RAKER SET: Cutting teeth right and left, alternated
by a straight tooth.
Of general use for materials with dimensions superior to 5 mm. Used
for the cutting of steel, castings and hard nonferrous materials.
WAVY SET: Set in smooth waves.
ALTERNATE SET (IN GROUPS): Groups of cutting teeth right and
left, alternated by a straight tooth.
This set is associated with very fine teeth and it is used for extremely
thin materials (less than 1 mm).
ALTERNATE SET (INDIVIDUAL TEETH): Cutting teeth right and left.
This set is used for the cutting of nonferrous soft materials, plastics
and wood.
This set is associated with very fine teeth and it is mainly used for

of chips from the blade.
Defects on the material or material too
hard
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.
Ineffective gripping of the part in the vice

FAULT
PROBABLE CAUSE
REMEDY
Blade guide pads not regulated or dirty
because of lack of maintenance
Check distance between blocks (see “Machine adjustments” in the Blade Guide
Blocks section): extremely accurate guiding
may cause cracks and breakage of the tooth.
Clean carefully.
Blade guide block too far from material
to be cut
Approach head 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.
The back of blade rubs against the support
due to deformed or poorly welded bands (tapered), causing cracks and swelling of the
back contour.
Check level of liquid in the tank. Increase the
flow of lubricating refrigerant, checking that
the hole and the liquid outlet pipe are not
blocked. Check the emulsion percentage.
Improper position of blade on flywheels
Insufficient lubricating refrigerant or
wrong emulsion
STREAKED OR ETCHED BANDS
Damaged or chipped blade guide
pad
Tight or slackened blade guide bearing
CUTS OFF THE STRAIGHT
Blade not parallel as to the counter-vice
Blade not perpendicular due to the excessive play between the guide pads
and maladjustment of the blocks
Too fast advance
Blade guide block too far from material
to be cut
Worn out blade
Wrong tooth pitch
Replace it.
Adjust it (see Chapter “Machine adjustments” in Blade guide section).
Check fastenings of the blade guide blocks
as to the counter-vice so that they are not
too loose and adjust blocks vertically; bring
into line the position of the degrees and if
necessary adjust the stop screws of the
degree cuts.
Check and vertically re-adjust the blade guide
blocks; reset proper side guide play (see
Chapter “Machine adjustments” in Blade
guide section).
Decrease advance, exerting less cutting
pressure. Adjust the braking device if
mounted on the machine.
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

Worn out blade or with chipped and/or
broken teeth
Wrong tooth pitch
Blade guide block too far from material
to be cut
NOISE ON GUIDE BLOCKS
Decrease advance, exerting less cutting
pressure. Adjust the braking device if
mounted on the machine.
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 section).
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.
Insufficient lubricating refrigerant or
wrong emulsion
Check level of liquid in the tank. Increase the
flow of lubricating refrigerant, checking that
the hole and the liquid outlet pipe are not
blocked.
Check the emulsion percentage.
Chipped bearings
Dirt and/or chips between blade and guide
bearings. Replace them.
Replace them.
Worn out or damaged pads
28
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.

Power supply
Check:
Main disconnect switch
Fuses " FU 1 "
" SQ 1 " safety microswitch
Blade tightening microswitch
Emergency button " SB 1 " on
Cycle reset or line button " SB 2 "
Thermal relay of main motor
Transformer " TC 1 "
Fuse " FU 2 - FU 3 "
MOTOR STOPPED WITH PILOT LIGHT
“HL” LIT
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 on
the control side of the circuit.
Microswitch " SQ 2 "
After having raised the saw frame, check
that the microswitch is not engaged and if
necessary check operating efficiency.
Remote-control switch " KM "
Check that phases are present at both input and output; ensure that it is not blocked,
that it closes when fed, that it does not cause
short circuits; otherwise change it.
Check that it is not burnt and that it turns
freely.
It may be rewound or changed.
Motor " M 1 "

- phases
- cables
- socket
- plug
Voltage must arrive upstream from the fuses
(terminal board).
It must be turned to ON position.
Check electrical efficiency. Check power line
connections and relative terminals.
Check electrical efficiency and check for
shorts that trigger these protections on the
power side of the circuit.
Check closing of the flywheel guard. Check
the efficiency of the device; replace it if damaged.
Make sure to have tightened the blade with
the relevant handwheel and to have actuated
the microswitch.
Ensure that it is off and that its contacts are
unbroken.
Check mechanical efficiency; replace if damaged.
Check that thermal relay protecting main
motor is correctly connected.
NOISE TESTS
In accordance with point 1.7.4.f of the Machines Directive EEC 89/392
2 measurements with the machine operating unloaded.
- The microphone was been located close to the operator's head, at medium height.
- The weighted equivalent continuous acoustic pressure level was 66,1 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 there-fore
assess the intensity and if necessary provide the operators with the necessary personal protection, as required by Law 277/1991.
