Cembre RDS-14P Operation And Maintenance Manual page 21

WARNING: WARNING:
- Always consult your employer's rules and procedures to cut rails in presence of electrical
traction return current.
- Never leave the rail saw unattended while cutting.
- Make sure that everyone keeps a safe distance away from the cutting zone.
- During the cutting operation move to a safe distance and always keep the auxiliary
switching device close to hand if any problems occur during cutting.
- Remove aggregate (min. 15 cm) from the cutting area under the rail, to avoid interference
with the disc guard and to make it easier to remove the disc at the end of cutting.
- Stabilise short rail sections before cutting (Ref. to § 9.1).
– Fix the arm to the rail at the pre-established cutting point (Ref. to § 6.1) by using the special
reference plate.
NOTE: Check that the plate is pushed into contact with the clamp; during a fi rst cut
it is necessary to defi ne the exact origin of the distances by cutting the reference
plate (Ref. to § 5).
– Mount the rail saw onto the arm (Ref. to § 6.4) and start the engine (Ref. to § 4.4).
– Operate the accelerator. Press accelerator block (22) (Ref. to § 3.2) to maintain maxi-
mum acceleration for at least 10 seconds before starting to cut.
– With one hand support the arm with handle (1) and with the
other rotate blue lever (18) locking it in the
external position and slowly bring the
cutting disc to the rail.
