(7). AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in power cord. (8). DIRECTIONOF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only. (9). ADJUST AND POSITION the blade guide arm before starting the cut. (10).
G. NOISE: A weighted sound pressure level : 80 dB. H. SAFETY DEVICE: Interlock switch on cutting area as soon as the cover of cutting area is open, machine will stop at once witch the function of this switch. Do not remove this switch from machine for any reason, and check its function frequently.
5. TRANSPORTATATION & INSTALLATION: 5-1. Unpacking Transportation to desired location before unpacking, please use-lifting jack. (Fig. B) 2. Transportation after unpacking, please use heavy duty fiber belt to lift up the machine. Fig. B ALLWAYS KEEP PROPER FOOTING & BALANCE WHILE MOVING THIS MACHINE. 5-2.
6. MINIMUM ROOM SPACE FOR MACHINE OPERATION 1600mm 900mm 2250mm 7. MAKE PROPER TOOTH SELECTION For maximum cutting efficiency and lowest cost per cut, it is important to select the blade with the right number of teeth per inch (TPI) for the material being cut. The material size and shape dictate tooth selection.
saw blade must travel to finish the cut. Locate the average width of cut on the chart. Select the tooth Ditch on the ring marked with the tubing and structural shape, which aligns with the average width you are cutting. EXAMPLE: 4"(100mm) outside diameter, 3"(75mm) inside diameter tubing.

9-4. BOW DOWNWARD WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT In normal situation, when the blade is running, hydraulic valve is on, the bow is going down and cutting and working piece, the bow will maintain 12-15 kgs downward weight to cut the working piece. Different of material of working piece needs different weight of bow to do the cutting.

9-7. BLADE WHEEL POSITION ADJUSTMENT The blade and wheel of RF-420VAA is designed as adjustable. The normal position is same as FIG. (A), the gap between blade FIG. and wheel is around 1 mm maximum. If the gap is less than 1mm, the machine will have huge noise during the operation, the life of blade is shorter.
9-9. ADJUSTING CUTTING WIDTH First loosen handle screw (A). Move the left blade guide bar to the suitable position. Then tighten handle screw (A). 9-10. PIVOT Occasionally lubricate the pivot using waterproof grease at the fitting (A). 9-11. HOW TO USING CLEAN EQUIPMENT After finished cutting, you can clean the chip by using clean equipment.
(b) Check electric cord, plugs, switch, bedspring, Cylinder Assembly at least once a year to avoid loosening or wearing. 11. OPERATING AND ADJUSTING VISE Right picture is the Hydraulic Vise set. The hydraulic (B) movement is: turning the handle(A) and make the vise(C) to clamp working object and push the bottom of Hydraulic Vise Clamp.
14. TROUBLE SHOOTING Symptom Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action Machine can not be started 1. Power is not plugged; the power light on 1. Check the motor specification; control panel is not on. connect the power with correct 2. Motor can not be started; power was cut power supply.
