Safety information Switch off the machine's drive unit before carrying out any adjustments. Only use original - POSCH - spare parts. Do not modify or tamper with the machine. Work on electrical equipment must only be carried out by qualified electricians.
It is up to the operating personnel to ensure that work is carried out safely. Proper use The machine - SmartCut 700 - is designed exclusively for sawing logs with a diameter of 7-20 cm and a length of 15-120 cm.
Hour counter for machines with Z motor Description The SmartCut 700 machine is a high-power saw with a fitted conveyor belt. The machine is driven by an electric motor or a pto. The log carriage is stopped by activating the switch bracket (EasyStop).
General Stickers and their meaning Only one person may operate the machine! Z2050200 Only operate with all guards and protective equipment in place. Do not open or remove guards or protective equipment while the machine is in operation. Caution, moving tools! Only carry out repair, set-up, maintenance and cleaning work when the drive is switched off and the tool is stationary.

General Ensure the machine is stable before starting it. Set up the machine on a horizontal, level, firm and clear work surface. The machine must be placed directly on the ground. Do not place wooden boards, flat pieces of metal, etc. underneath it. The minimum space required is four times the base area of the machine.
Start-up Start-up Check the machine for potential damage prior to every use. ▪ When doing so, pay particular attention to inspection activities in section "Checks [➙ 35]". Before starting to operate the machine, please check that the protective and safety systems are working and also the hydraulic hoses and oil level.
Start-up Neutral position Delta position Star position Note the rotation direction of the electric motor (see arrow on motor). If the motor is rotating in the wrong direction: A phase inverter in the plug controls the direction of rotation of the motor (press in the disc in the plug with a screwdriver and turn 180˚).
Start-up Maximum PTO shaft speed: ▪ 480 rpm The maximum PTO shaft speed must on no account be exceeded, otherwise the oil will become too hot. This leads to premature wear and leaks in the pump, cylinder and hydraulic pipes. Before disengaging the universal joint shaft, set the manual throttle of the tractor to minimum.
Operation Operation In order to ensure optimal operation of the sensor system, the machine should be run at idling speed for at least 3 minutes. At outdoor temperatures below 0°C, let the machine idle for approximately five minutes to allow the hydraulic system to reach the correct operating temperature (the hydraulic pipes will then be warm to the touch).

Operation Switch bracket (EasyStop) Switch bracket - pressed Switch bracket - not pressed When the switch bracket is pressed, the log carriage comes to a stop. This position allows the log carriage to be loaded with billets conveniently. When you release the switch bracket, cutting is triggered and the billet is cut (into several pieces, depending on the set cut length).

Operation 5.1.2 Log stop Locking screw Plate edge Fixing plate with clamping lever Scale Log stop The log length can be adjusted with the stop to a length of 15, 18, 20, 25, 27, 30, 33, 35, 40, 45, 50, 52 cm. The log carriage must be fully out.
Page 24
Operation 5.1.4 Safety circuit The machine has a safety circuit with a stop function (in the case of the electric drive) and a locking system (in the case of the PTO drive). Lock: Attachment of the universal joint shaft is prevented by folding up the protective cover. If the universal joint shaft was already attached, it has to first be removed before the protective cover can be folded up.

Operation Work operation Only one person may operate the machine at a time. Ensure that no other people are near the machine. In order to ensure optimal operation of the sensor system, the machine should be run at idling speed for at least 3 minutes. At outdoor temperatures below 0°C, let the machine idle for approximately five minutes to allow the hydraulic system to reach the correct operating temperature (the hydraulic pipes will then be warm to the touch).

Checks Note regarding the hydraulic oil level The conveyor belt must always be retracted. See ..Conveyor belt [➙ 25] 8.7.2 Transmission oil level Oil inlet screw Oil drain screw Oil level screw If the oil seeps out of the hole of the oil level screw when the machine is on level ground, the maximum oil level has been reached.
Work on electrical equipment must only be carried out by qualified electricians. Never work without the protective guards in place. Only use original - POSCH - spare parts. Lubrication Dispose of oily and greasy parts and oil residues in accordance with legal regulations.
Multi-purpose grease 5028 Saw blade Always wear protective gloves when handling saw blades. Only reinforced POSCH saw blades may be used. Standard saw blades are too weak and pose a safety risk. Observe the maximum saw blade speed specified by the manufacturer.

Maintenance Changing the V-belt 9.3.1 Tips on changing the V-belt If one V-belt is being changed, then all V-belts must be changed! The V-belts must be fitted loose. If they are "forced" onto the V-belt pulley, they may be damaged and quickly tear. The V-belts must be tensioned so that they deflect about 8 mm in the middle when thumb pressure is applied.
Page 42
Maintenance ▪ Loosen the 4 hexagon bolts on the bearing holder. ▪ Loosen the 2 fitting screws on the bearing holder. ▪ Tilt the bearing holder up and sideways, together with the pedestal bearing. ▪ Remove the old V-belts. ▪ Unthread the old V-belt at the top, alongside the bearing holder. ▪...
Maintenance ▪ Reassemble the motor unit (connect with the coupling). ▪ Tension the V-belts as shown in the previous section "Changing the V-belts on a PTO drive". ▪ Affix the guard plates. Before operating, all protective guards must be attached to the machine. Oil changing Old oil must be disposed of in an environment-friendly manner.
