3.2) Safety devices on the machine
ONLY FOR RDSC-20P TYPE: The rail saw must be started only when mounted on the
support arm otherwise the engine will be stopped by a cut-off device.
The safety devices supplied on the RAIL SAW and listed below must be fully functional and
checked before each use. If this is not the case do not use the machine and contact Cembre
for any repairs.
- ON/OFF SWITCH (18) this is found in a very visible
position and is easily operated. It is used for stopping
the machine normally or in emergency.
Ensure you are familiar with how to use the switch
(18) so that you can act promptly in case of emergency.
- ACCELERATOR (20): this is used to run the engine
to full operating speed. It can only be activated by
pressing the interlock lever at the same time (21).
- INTERLOCK LEVER (21): prevents accidental activation of the accelerator which can-
not be activate without pressing this lever.
When the accelerator is released, the abrasive cutting disc continues to turn for
some time. Do not approach the cutting group until the disc has completely stopped.
- ACCELERA TOR BLOCK (22): it locks the accelerator in start-up position when
the engine is cold. The accelerator block (22) can only be activated by
pressing the accelerator (20) and the interlock lever (21) at the same time.
Once activated, press the accelerator down.
- SAFETY GUARD (3) designed to protect the
operator from fragments and sparks which fl y off
during cutting. Push the handle forwards or
backwards to fi nd the most eff ective position.
Never use the RAIL SAW without the safety guard
or when the guard is damaged!
