& The machine model, serial number and year of manufacture are indicated on the
identification plate.
Table showing specifications of rod iron diameters (in mm) usable for each model. The diameters are specified
according to the hardness of the material and to the number of rod irons that can be cut at the same time for
that particular diameter.

Operating pr inc ip le
The machine is driven by an electric motor
• By means of a pulley 1, the motor shaft drives the two driving belts.
• The belts transfer movement to a flywheel pulley 2 ,that turns the control pinion 3.
• The pinion 3 drives the gearwheel 4.
• The clutch unit 5, keyed on an eccentric shaft 6, operates the blade connecting rod 7 to which the
blade 8 is fitted.
• The clutch cam 9, driven by the antirepetition device 10, by means of lever L or pedal P, enables
engagement of connecting rod movement.
• Another blade 11 on the machine body cuts the rod iron.
• By adjusting the striker 12 the rod iron can be kept in line with the blades.

INFORMATION ON SAFETY
Safety criter ia
In designing and building this machine, criteria and measures have been adopted to meet the essential safety
requirements outlined in Machine Directive 98/37/EEC.
Protection s
• The structure of the frame and guard prevent access to gears, belts and
moving parts.
• The moving guard hinged to the frame mechanically prevents movement
of the antirepetition device as long as the guard is open.
• Electric motor protected by thermal magnetic circuit breaker.
Use gloves to handle the rod irons and prevent any risk of
abrasion and cuts.
Use protective footwear to prevent feet being crushed by the falling of heavy rod irons.
Precautions
• The possibility exists of the antirepetition lever remaining in idle position if this is operated with
the machine off. In case of startup, the antirepetition device remains disengaged and the cutting
blade operates continuously. In this case, pull the lever to engage the antirepetition device.
• Never ever try and access the cutting area with your hands.
• Keep the rod iron in position using the adjustable striker.
5
Shearing unit
• Only work on the machine and perform maintenance operations when the machine is shut off, with
power socket disengaged.
• The electric shock protection is based on the correct connection to the earth lead: the power
system to which the machine is connected must comply with applicable legislation.
• The socket to which the machine is connected must be protected upstream by the customer using a
residual current circuit breaker (tripping threshold not above 30mA).
• Do not use extensions.
• Make sure the cables between the plug and the machine are not in transit areas, or subject to
damage or mechanical stress.
h Hazard! Tampering with the machine or the removal of guards or machine parts can
cause risks for the machine users and persons in the vicinity.
No ise
Continuous equivalent sound pressure level: 75 dB (A).

INSTALLATION
Fit t ing t he wheels
& Before positioning and after transporting, make sure the machine structure has not
been damaged by knocks or falling during transport that could affect machine
operation and reliability.
Besides the overall dimensions of the machine, always follow the instructions below:
• Power sources must be provided near the area where the machine is to stand.
• The supporting surface must be such as to withstand the weight of the machine and must be flat and
smooth so the machine is stable.
• The working environment must be adequately lit so the machine can be operated and serviced in total
safety.
• The area must be of a suitable size for the machine and material to be loaded. To safely operate and
service the machine, this must be placed at a distance of at least one metre from walls. It must always
be possible to easily reach the cutting area with the material to be worked and the control switchboard.
• Acceptable operating temperatures go from -5°C to +40°C.
• Acceptable relative humidity: from 30% to 90%( at 20°C).
• The area must be protected from atmospheric agents, such as rain and snow.
7
Shearing unit
A specific earth terminal is provided to be used when the earth resistance of the power cable is too high or this
value is unknown.
• Connect the end of a naked copper plait (section of at least 16 mm2) to the screw of the switch plate
on the back of the machine and then use a nut to secure.
• Connect the other end to an earth lead. The earth lead must be set deep in a rather damp and
conductive area, or can be a copper plate, placed deep underground.
Connecting up to the ma in s
To connect up to the power mains, use a cable with the following specifications:
• With a plug suitable for the type of socket installed
• Of adequate capacity (each lead should have a minimum section of 2 mm2)
• Insulated from the operating environment.
USE
Starting
h Hazard! Make sure the cutting area guard is lowered, that there is no one
in the cutting area and that no rod irons have been loaded.

In it ia l startup
Make sure the direction of rotation corresponds to the arrow on the motor fan guard; otherwise switch over the
two phase wires of the cable connected to the power mains.

MAINTENANCE
Ma intenance programme
Schedule Check
Daily Keep work area clean.
Lubricate point "A" and corresponding point on opposite side of machine,
40 hours
indicated in the next picture.
Check the oil level in the gear reduction unit by means of the indicator. If
200 hours
necessary, top up through the filling cap.
Once a year Completely change the oil.
• Check the level of the oil with the machine off by means of the indicator on the side of the machine.
• Top up through the oil cap on top of the machine.
• The oil can be drained off through a cap in the lower part or near the level indicator (depending on
model).

& Do not dispose of oils and greases into the environment. Deliver to authorised firms for
disposal through approved channels.
After continuous machine use, the need could arise to adjust the
antirepetition device to improve blade connecting rod stop conditions.
Proceed as follows:
• Turn off the machine and remove the power plug.
• Loosen the two screws that secure the lever guard and
remove the guard.
• Loosen the two V screws.
• Adjust in the desired direction and then retighten the two
V screws.
• Refit the protection guard.

Metering
Lube oil pu mp (opt io nal) knob
As accessory a manual pump with flow regolator for an easy and
corrected lubrication can be mounted on the shearing unit.
Use mineral oil, with viscosity between 100- 250 cst (tank 200 cm3).
Oil cap
In order to lubricate the machine, press knob of the meternig
cylinder 1 time per day in presence of a daily and regular use of the
shearing unit. At the first use, repeatedly act on the knob until
completely loading the circuit. Regularly check the visible level
from the transparent tank, top up through the oil cap when
necessary.
U If after pressuring the knob there is an fast return of the control rod, it means that or
the tank is empty or the pressure circuit is loosing .
Ma intenance
Check the filter periodically in order to avoid clog. If necessary dismounting filter, unscrew the tank from its
bayonet coupling and extract the filter in its center. If necessary wash it with oil or gasoline.
& Do not dispose of oils and greases into the environment. Deliver to authorised firms for
disposal through approved channels.
