4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The fixture described in this manual is a pneumatic cutting unit model FP 100 which can be

assembled on automatic machines (e.g. spreaders, computerized cutting) by means of a

proper bracket. Thanks to the use of a front point of reference and of an effective cutting

system with a hexagonal blade it is possible to use the cutting unit to cut different materials.

In particular the cutting unit has been planned to cut difficult materials such as moquettes,

polymeric materials, fiber glass, insulations and leather (even hide). One special feature of

cutting unit FP100L is its ability to sharpen the blade in each moment without disassembling

it by means of a sharpener mounted on the cutting unit head. After carrying out this

operation, it is possible to start cutting again. The pneumatic cutting unit is provided with a

threaded connection suitable for most of the air pipelines. The turbine, perfectly balanced,

with a high number of revolutions and totally free of maintenance, reduces vibrations and

noise to the minimum. The cutting unit can be used also to cut damp or wet materials;

therefore it is recommended in tanneries, dyeworks, etc. The use of compressed air as

source of energy allows working continuously without problems of heating or motor overload.

The mechanical parts are made up of high quality steel, bronze and aluminium and require a

lubrication after many working hours.

6. NOISE LEVEL

The maximum acoustic pressure level emitted by cutting unit FP100L is about 72 dB (A).

Noise tests have been carried out in compliance with Standard ISO 15744:2008. The device

noise levels, measured at different distances (without any sound wave filtering system), vary

in the extent of few db (A). The noise level has beeen detected with the silencer supplied

with the fixture assembled on the exhaust. The silencer must never be removed.

NOTE

It is advisable for cutting unit FP100L owners to verify the compliance with the standard

concerning safety of workers: Italian legislative decree 81/08.

Cutting unit FP100L has been designed, manufactured and assembled to cut any kind of

fabrics or materials, with the exception of metal, plastic or wood, by means of rotary blades.

This equipment must not work:

- in areas prone to explosions;

- in presence of fine dust or corrosive gases;

- to cut plastic, metal and wooden materials.

It is forbidden to use cutting unit FP100L for purposes different from the above-

mentioned ones.

It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to smoke during the installation or adjustment operations

of the cutting unit.

The Customer undertakes to comply with and make his staff observe all the rules and

regulations in force concerning safety, prevention of accidents and health in the work

place.

Therefore, the Customer assumes the responsibility to strictly follow all the rules and

regulationsinforce,aswellasthespecialprovisions in force in sport and public installations

the Customer declares to know after receiving all the relevant necessary information.

The cutting unit works even without its safety protection device. This protection

device must NEVER be removed.

Always check the resistance of the material to be cut and the kind of blade which is

being used.

The Customer shall equip his own personnel with all the individual safety protections

for the execution of the works, as well as with the ones which might be prescribed by

the Manufacturer due to specific danger conditions of the plant or of the area where

the personnel must work.

Do not perform any adjustment while the blade is working.

Always pay attention to the air pipe position to prevent it from being cut or damaged

by the blade.

It is allowed to assemble cutting unit FP100L on machines O.E.M. on condition that

their original structure is not modified. Otherwise, the intervention must be certified

10. INSTALLATION AND USE

To install and use the cutting unit proceed as follows:

1) Fix the cutting unit on the machine by

means of a flat or angle bracket by

inserting it on the upper part of the

cutting unit motor support (see pictures

4and5).

NOTE

The cutting unit can be installedin any position/

angle: vertically, laterally and it can be turned

upside down. It is not necessary that the

aluminium base touches the machine table.

2) Lay the material to be cut;

3) Connect the air pipe to the quick connection “A” (not supplied)

(see picture 6);

4) Set the pressure gauge (option) to 6 bar;

5) Put the material on the cutting foot (see picture 7);

6) Adjust the front mobile protection according to the thickness of the

material to be cut;

7) Enable the air remotely and carry out the cutting operation.

NOTE

Cutting unit FP100L can work in a fixed position (the material moves)

or it can move forward while the material is kept in the same position.

Make sure the material to be cut is properly stretched, preventing it

from curling.

WARNING

Never use the two bolts which fix the motor to the cutting part to fasten cutting

unit FP100L. This operation may cause the motor shaft to break. In this case,

warranty is not valid.

11. AIR PRESSURE GAUGE (OPTION)

The cutting unit must be necessarily supplied with

lubricated air with a pressure of 4-6 bar.

Rasor

®offers, as option, a reduction unit filter with a

pressure gauge already calibrated with the quantity of

oil to be delivered.

The unit shown in picture 8 is made up of:

1 - pressure reducer;

2 - valve to drain the condensate;

3 - drip-feed oiler unit;

4-oiltank;

5 - pressure gauge;

6 - condensate tank;

7 - pipe fitting to connect the quick connection to the

network;

8 - pipe fitting to connect the quick connection to the cutting unit.

For the use and maintenance read the instruction sheet supplied

with the filter.

12. BLADE SHARPENING

After many hours of a continuative use of the cutting unit,

or if it would not be able to cut anymore, it is necessary to

sharp the blade.

To carry out this operation, start the blade and press

sharpener “2” located on it for 3-4 seconds (by pressing

push button “1”, as shown in picture 9).

Repeat the operation 2-3 times.

If the sharpening operation is not effective, check the wear

of emery grinding wheel “3” (see picture 10).

If emery grinding wheel “3” is too worn or dirty, replace it.

13. LUBRICATION

Every 3-4 consecutive working days, it is necessary to

lubricate the pair of gears. To carry out this operation,

remove protective plug “A” located on the cutting unit

head and fill it with lubricating grease Rasor.

Screw plug “A” again few turns.

Screw plug “A” some turns every 3-4 consecutive working

days (see picture 11).

Screw the plug completely and fill it again.

The blade must never be dirty with grease or oil.
