4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The fixture described in this manual is a pneumatic cutting unit model FP120M which can be

assembled on automatic machines (e.g. spreaders, computerized cutting). FP120M can operate

continuously and it can cut at various heights by means of multiple installation. Thanks to

the presence of a 1HP pneumatic motor, FP120M is able to cut difficult materials with

thickness up to 50 mm. It is particularly suitable for technical fabrics and composite materials.

By cutting with the blade and the counterblade always in contact and thanks to the steel

upper quality of the blade supplied, FP120M guarantees the clean separation without frayings

of the two borders of the cut material. One special feature of cutting unit FP120M is its ability

to sharpen the blade in each moment without disassembling it by means of a emery grinding

wheel 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. A high power motor, perfectly balanced, with a high number of

revolutions and totally free of maintenance, reduces the vibrations to the minimum, thus

making the cutting unit comply with European Directive No. 2002/44/EC concerning the

risks deriving from mechanical vibrations. 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.

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 FP120M for purposes dierent from the above-

mentioned ones.

9. RESIDUAL RISKS

Even though the cutting unit is safe, operators must pay attention to preserve their safety

and that of others.



The cutting blade can work even when the protection device is disassembled.

8. USE WARNINGS

We recommend following the indications below in order to work in safety conditions.

•All the operations must be carried out complying strictly with the safety rules of the

country where the device is to be installed.

•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

regulations in force, as well as the special provisions 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 FP120M on machines O.E.M. on condition that

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

Rasor®.

•The (inside) air pipe and connector diameter must be min. Ø 8 mm.

10. INSTALLATION AND USE

To install and use the cutting unit proceed as follows:

1) Fix the cutting unit directly on the motor body by means of two half rings and screw

them by means of two socket head screws (see pictures 4 and 5).

NOTE

The cutting unit can be installed in 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 FP120M 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

Do not tighten the two socket head screws, so as to avoid that the two half rings

deform the motor. Consider that the motor has a diameter of 65 mm (see picture

4). 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 - oil tank;

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.

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 2-3 consecutive working

days (see picture 9).

The blade must never be dirty with grease or oil.

WARNING

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

emery grinding wheel “2” located on it for 3-4 seconds

(by pressing push button “1”, as shown in picture 7).

Repeat the operation 2-3 times.

If the sharpening operation is not effective, check the

wear of emery grinding wheel “3” (see picture 8).

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

it.

14. PNEUMATIC MOTOR

In case of technical problems with the pneumatic motor, the entire motor must be

sent to Rasor®. Never disassemble the pneumatic motor since it could jeopardize

the guarantee.
