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.
NOTE: since standards and legislation concerning refuse in gen-

- the CUTTING SPEED and the TYPE of BLADE - combined
with a suitable lowering of saw frame - 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 blade selection”).
- When starting to cut with a new blade, 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 blade selection” in the
section on Blade running-in).
- Press the red emergency button ( 1 ) when there are conditions of
danger or malfunctions in general, so as to stop machine operation immediately.

MATERIAL
CLASSIFICATION AND
CHOICE OF TOOL
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;

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.

SAR440SAGDS
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

12 TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter lists the probable faults and malfunctions that could occur while the machine is being used and suggests possible remedies for
solving them.
The first paragraph provides diagnosis for TOOLS and CUTS, the second for ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
12.1 - Blade and cut diagnosis
FAULT
PROBABLE CAUSE
REMEDY
TOOTH BREAKAGE
Too fast advance
Decrease advance, exerting less cutting
pressure. Adjust the braking device if
mounted on the machine.
Change speed and/or type of blade.
See chapter on “Material classification and
blade selection”, in the section Blade selection table according to cutting and feed
speed.
Wrong cutting speed
Wrong tooth pitch
Choose a suitable blade. See Chapter “Material classification and blade selection”.
Chips sticking onto teeth and in the gullets or material that gums
Check for clogging of cooling liquid drain
holes on the blade-guide pads and that flow
is plentiful in order to facilitate the removal
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
The blade gets stuck in the material
Starting cut on sharp or irregular section bars
Poor quality blade
Previously broken tooth left in the cut
Cutting resumed on a groove made previously
Vibrations
Pay more attention when you start cutting.
Use a superior quality blade.
Accurately remove all the parts left in.
Make the cut elsewhere, turning the part.
Check gripping of the part.
Wrong tooth pitch or shape
Replace blade with a more suitable one.
See “Material classification and blade
selection” in the Blade Types section.
Adjust blade guide pads.
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.
Turn teeth in correct direction.
Teeth positioned in the direction opposite the cutting direction
26
Reduce feed and exert less cutting pressure.

BLADE BREAKAGE
Too fast advance
Wrong cutting speed
Wrong tooth pitch
Ineffective gripping of the part in the vice
Blade touching material at beginning of
cut
Use a superior quality blade.
Decrease advance, exerting less cutting
pressure. Adjust the braking device if
mounted on the machine.
Change speed and/or type of blade.
See chapter on “Material classification and
blade selection”, in the section Blade selection table according to cutting and feed
speed.
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 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.
The welding of the blade is of utmost importance. The meeting surfaces must perfectly
match and once they are welded they must
have no inclusions or bubbles; the welded
part must be perfectly smooth and even.
They must be evenly thick and have no bulges
that can cause dents or instant breakage
when sliding between the blade guide pads.
Decrease advance, exerting less cutting
pressure. Adjust the braking device if
mounted on the machine.
Change speed and/or type of blade.
See chapter on “Material classification and
blade selection”, in the section Blade selection table according to cutting and feed
speed.
Choose a suitable blade. See Chapter “Material classification and blade selection”.
Check the gripping of the part.
At the beginning of the cutting process,
never lower the saw frame before starting
the blade motor.

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
28
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
blade.
Replace it.
Blade with major density of teeth is being
used, try using one with less teeth (see Chapter “Material classification and blade selection” in the Blade Types section).
SAR440SAGDS
FAULT
PROBABLE CAUSE
REMEDY
Broken teeth
Irregular work of the blade due to the lack of
teeth can cause deflection in the cut; check
blade and if necessary replace it.
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.
Insufficient lubricating refrigerant or
wrong emulsion
FAULTY CUT
Worn out flywheels
Flywheel housing full of chips
STREAKED CUTTING SURFACE
Too fast advance
Poor quality blade
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
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.
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

NOISE TESTS
In accordance with point 1.7.4.f of the Machines Directive EEC 98/37
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 65,4 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.
