Page 3 13.80 RAIL CUTTER SAFETY General dangers The machine has been constructed and built to cut rails at an exact right angle, without using coolants, and may only be used for this purpose. The protective devices on the machine meet current safety regulations; they must be attached continually during operation.
Make sure no unauthorised persons are within the working area. Free-hand use and hand guided use are strictly prohibited. • The rail cutter 13.80 must only be used together with the guiding frame. Personal protective equipment • Basic health and safety requirements must be observed.
(machine number). Foreseeable misuse Free-hand cuts are not permissible! The rail cutter 13.80 may only be used in conjunction with the guiding frame. Components The ROBEL 13.80 rail cutter consists of an abrasive cutting machine and a guiding frame to be fastened to the rail.

Page 13 13.80 RAIL CUTTER OPERATING CONDITIONS From -20°C to a maximum of +70°C (motor temperature) with minimal power losses at an installation height of up to 100 m mean sea level. Risk of damage! • Excessive solar radiation may overheat the machine to way above +70°C.
Page 14 13.80 RAIL CUTTER Transport The temperature range for storing the cutter is -20°C to +70°C. The cutter can be transported on all transport routes without incurring any damage if it is properly tied down and in its original packaging.

Page 20 13.80 RAIL CUTTER Test run Risk of accident! • The grinder must be correctly set up both when using it for the first time and whenever the grinding tool is changed. Start the engine up. • Then position the grinder so that the grinding tool can turn freely and without hindrance.
Free-hand use and hand guided use are strictly prohibited. • The rail cutter 13.80 must only be used together with the guiding frame. Danger of flying sparks! The safety clearance from the rail cutter is 15 metres.

Page 22 13.80 RAIL CUTTER Cutting particles and sparks are therefore intercepted by the protection and diverted from the operator. • Bring the device into position in compliance with safety regulations. Right hand on the grip (throttle handle), left hand on the motor arch.
Page 27
Page 23 13.80 RAIL CUTTER If the rail cannot be separated from one side (if the grinding wheel is worn or the rails are larger), the guiding frame is swung to the other side of the rail and separation of the rail is completed from the other side.

Page 24 13.80 RAIL CUTTER The T-handle (4) is turned up to the far end of the thread, then the freely movable pulling mechanism (3) is placed with the bolt into the locking hole of the pulling wedge (2a) and the pull-off device is placed on the rail foot.
Page 25 13.80 RAIL CUTTER MAINTENANCE • Please always use the stipulated lubricants and, in the case of repairs, the original spare parts. This is on the one hand important for the guarantee validity and, on the other hand, for the increased operating safety of your cutter.
Page 26 13.80 RAIL CUTTER Changing the abrasive • Undo the screw (23) by turning it clockwise (LEFT-HAND THREAD!) • The nut on the back is held with a spanner. After removing the screw, the grinding wheel can be removed.
Page 27 13.80 RAIL CUTTER Readjusting the belt tension/Changing the belt The fan belt must be retightened when the machine is new, each time a new belt is fitted, and after approximately 5 abrasives have been used. (It should not be possible to squeeze the fan belt through by more than approximately 7 mm if it is pressed firmly in the middle with a finger).
Page 28 13.80 RAIL CUTTER Turn the screw (20) anticlockwise = fan belt is tensed Clockwise = the fan belt is slackened • After setting the fan belt tension, screw the counternut on (22) tight! Adjusting the cutting line To prevent the grinding wheel from bending in the parting line during the cutting, the guiding frame with the machine housing is set to a precision of 0.1 mm cut...
Page 29 13.80 RAIL CUTTER Maintenance schedule 6.4.1 Daily maintenance Check the tension of the drive belt. Check the condition of the cutting blade. Check the condition of the blade guard. Check that all nuts and bolts are tightened correctly.
Page 31 13.80 RAIL CUTTER APPENDIX A The electric parts are insulated, protected from splash water and dust, and maintenance-free. This also accounts for the three-phase motor (safety designation IP54 according to VDE-guidelines). Danger! If the motor rotates in the wrong direction, this may be repaired by an electrician only! •...
