Operating, maintenance, spare parts manual Rel. 3 dated 02/07/2019 Pagina 26 di 54
5.4 Pre- operation checklist Use work gloves during set-up and setting at work of the machine.
Before the setting at work of the cutting machine, especially at first starting or when it is installed on a new work site, the
following technical advices and suggestions concerning the various types of connections shall be respected.
5.5 La Safety first
All the machines can be dangerous. When the Cutting Machine is correctly used and properly maintained, it is a very
safe machine. On the contrary, if it is badly used, it may become dangerous. Both in this manual and on the machine there are
warning signs showing the possible hazards and how to avoid them. Do not operate the machine, until you are not able to
control it. Do not start any work until you are not sure about your and other people’s safety. You can cause serious damage, if
you try to carry out some non-familiar operations, without prior testing on free areas, far from people and on level ground.
Follow the safety instructions shown in chapter 4.3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
5.6 Putting into operation
On delivery the machine is connected to 380 V. Before starting the machine, ensure the following:
- The motor voltage must correspond to the voltage of the external line.
- Grounding according to I.S.P.E.L.S standards is mandatory.
- The feeding cable shall not be below 4x1,5 mm.
-Change-over to 220 V voltage has to be carried out as follows:
a) Change the terminal board from “star” to “delta”
b) Displace the electric connection of the transformer at input from 380 V to 220 V.
Check the area of respect and the work areas;
Check the protections for good fixing;
Check the caution/danger signs on the machine for good visibility.
Test all the mechanical and electric machine controls, loadless, to check correctness, efficiency and working;
Check the oil level inside the tank through the level pilot lamp placed on the rear side of the machine.
5.7 Electric installation
The electric installation of the user must be in compliance with CEI 64.8 standards (Italian law n. 46/90).
The machine is fitted with an electric plug.
The plug must be connected to the installation of the user according to the maximum electrical input.
Provide the following: - Unipotential grounding system,
-The sum of the discharger resistances and the mass of the protection wires shall be below 883 Ohm.
The connector shall be of type 3P +T complying with the CEI 23-12 standard . The supply cable shall be of type
H07RN-F or expressly indicated by the manufacturer for laying outside in wet environments with a section suitable to
the current to be conducted. The cable shall be protected by strong raceways against the passage of means and/or
people.
Voltage drop shall be verified according to the following formula:
=voltage coefficient L= length I = Intensity in ampere line current
K= coefficient (1,73 for three-phase lines) (2 for single-phase lines)
The grounding connection shall be done by means of a self-extinguishing
yellow-green cable, its minimum section shall not be below the one of the supply cable. Ensure grounding of all the
metallic parts of the machine. Ensure the protection against lightning and/or electric discharges.
For installations on building yards, connect to the grounding system of the building yard also the additional external
earthing plug, placed on one machine structure: use a copper cable with a section of 35 square millimetres provided
with cable terminal and fix the cable terminal to the clamp with a screw nut (Fig. 2).
Ensure good lighting and visibility of the machine installation place, according to the work area, and avoid shady
areas, dangerous dazzling and stroboscopic effects. The Company cannot accept any responsibility in case of wrong
connection of the electric system or bad grounding.
The motors on the machine are protected by means of a magneto-thermal device. The motors are provided with special
devices to avoid accidental machine starts after electric cutoff. In the case of intervention of the thermal protections, open by
means of the special screwdriver the electric panel and reset the thermal switch by pressing the green push-button. All the
electric elements and apparatus are protected according to the place of use, they have a protection grade of minimum IP 54
(protection from dust and liquids).
The control panel is placed so that is it visible by the operator, it also houses the supply plug. The machine is provided with a
START/STOP push-button, which is placed on the machine case, on the side with the control level for fast machine
starting/stopping.
