OPERATIONAL MANUAL

Check the Hydraulic Hose and control cable connectors match with that of the Rod Cutter. Attach the Hydraulic Hose from the Hydraulic Power Pack to the machine properly so that there can be no leaking of hydraulic fluid. Connect the control cable from the Hydraulic Power Pack solenoid valve to the Rod Cutter. Connect the power cable of the power pack to a suitable wall mounted power outlet and switch on the power pack, do not press the switch on the handle of the Rod Cutter right now. Let the power pack idle (oil flowing from pump to tank) for a couple of minutes. Now place the rod to be cut between the moving and stationery cutter pushing the rod so that it touches the side wall of the housing. This is to ensure that the full diameter of the job is within the width of the Blades. Hold the job with a gloved hand and see that nobody is standing on the other side. Press the switch. Wait for the moving blade to retract fully before advancing the rod between the blades for the next cut.  Switch off the Hydraulic Power Pack and disconnect the Hydraulic Power Pack from the wall out-let after you finish.

MAINTENANCE

Keep all the bolts tight and joints oiled at all times. Whenever the hydraulic fluid is changed, also change the filter and clean the tank before filling up. Never drop the machine which may cause serious damage to it.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

As for any high power cutting machine, the following safety precautions should be strictly Observed during use of this machine: Wear your safety shoes, gloves and safety glasses at all times. Remove oil or grease from your hand, tools and from the floor and area you will be working. Use proper cutting tool as per type, size and hardness of metal to be cut. While the machine is not in use, keep the power pack switched off, so that accidental pressing of trigger cannot cause any injury in case one keeps fingers between the cutters by mistake. See that nobody is standing on the other end of the rod, because depending on the tensile strength of the material and flow rate of the power pack, the parted portion of the rod may shoot out at high speed causing injury. Check that the balancer and hanging arrangement is strong enough to hold the combined weight of the cutter and the job.
