Setting The Work Piece C; Cutting - Rothenberger PORTACUT 185 Serie Instrucciones De Uso

Operate the machine in the cutting load position which matches the work piece. A
mismatch in the T.P.I. of the saw blade or in the cutting load position will lead not
only to oblique cutting capability but also to a damaged saw blade!
 Remove sand, soil, chips, dust etc. on its vice. (Wipe off for the new article with a clean cloth
because the rust prevention oil has painted the upper surface of stock vice.)
 Move the blade guide head F (3) about 30 mm away from a work piece, e.g. to the rear end
for 6 inches. The numerals on the frame give a guideline to set the rear end of the blade
guide head F (4). (For 2, 4 and 6 inches.)
When opening the front cover, guard against the saw blade which may spring
out of the machine!
After correct setting of the saw blade to the machine, always close the front cover! You may get
injured when the saw blade is broken or comes off.
 Unlatch the front cover (5) and open the cover. Turn the tension handle (6) clockwise. The
saw blade will be tight.
 Hand-turn the saw blade to make sure that it turns.
 After reinstall the front cover, tighten the fasteners.
 Insert the power supply cord after confirming the thing to which the switch is off.
Fix with the latch after confirming the front cover is correctly set. When the cutting work is done
with front cover not correctly set, this may cause accident and injury, damaging latch!
The saw blade is very sharp. Do not touch with bare hand!
4.4 Setting the work piece
Typ BSR:
 Use the vice V groove which matches the diameter of the work piece. When a pipe is less
than 1-1/2" or a round bar is less than 60 mm in diameter, clamp it in the small V groove. For
larger diameters, clamp a work piece with the large V groove.
 Place the work piece into contact with the vice V groove. Hold the chain handle, chain the
work piece, grad the pin of the chain with the clamper, and turn the clamp knob to tighten
the work piece.
 The clamp knob is of quick clamping type. Push the clamp knob forward to feed the clamper
rapidly. Where the chain is tight, push the clamp knob, and rotate it about 1/2
turns to tighten the chain.
For angles and the like having a base length of 70 mm max., use the flat groove located partway
through the V groove.
Typ BSP:
 Loosen the hexagon head bolt two places (1).
 Set the flat vice-R (2) to the cutting angle on the scale (3) and tighten the hexagon head bolt
in the flat vice-R.
 The flat vice-F (4) is of quick clamping type. Move the flat vice-F toward the work and turn
the clamp hand wheel (5) to tighten the work piece quickly.

Cutting

 Hold the handle (16) and lift the frame once to release the stopper. Then lower the frame
slowly, turn on the switch and place the saw blade on the work piece.
 Typ BSP: For miter cutting, support the frame handle by hand until the saw blade bits the
work piece slightly..
Ease the saw blade towards a work piece. Do not hurry it down or force it in to
avoid a machine failure, accident or injury!
When a new saw blade is used, test cuts are required as it is liable to cut obliquely.
 At the end of cutting, the machine switches off automatically.
