Free-Hand.cUtting; Plunge Cutting (Fig. 5); Lubrication; Maintenance - Virax 045001 Instrucciones De Explotación

Tighten with the clamping screw taking care not to deform the pipe.
Depending on the hand you prefer to use, grasp the clamping screw (18) handle with one hand and,
the machine handle (4) with the other hand and switch the machine on.
While holding the rear handle (4) with the switch in ON position, pull the machine rear to start sawing.
Pull the machine rear until the work piece is cut through.
To achieve better results when cutting pipes with diameters exceeding 2", we recommend to switch the
machine on when the saw blade touches the work piece.
To achieve optimum efficiency and speed and to protect the blade, adjust the pressure on the material
by.slower.or.faster.pulling.the.machine.rear.
Excessive.force.does.not.increase.the.speed.

Free-hand.cutting

We recommend whenever possible to fix the work piece securely in a vice or another appropriate
fixing device.
To achieve clean cuts when straight cutting metal or curve cutting (wood, plastics, aerated concrete,
etc.) it is necessary to keep the support (1) pressed firmly against the material all the time.
Use.only.sharp.faultless.blades,.suitable.for.the.material.being.cut.and.with.the.necessary.length.
Take care to cut at uniform feeding speed to ensure fast, easy and exact cutting. Excessive force does
not.increase.the.speed,.but.results.in.machine.overloading.and.reduces.blade.life.
Hold the machine tightly and keep the support (1) pressed firmly against the material during opera-
tion.
Always keep the cord toward the machine rear during operation away from the cutting area.
Plunge.cutting.(Fig..5)
For cutting soft wood and light construction materials, it is possible at first to plunge the blade into the
material, and then - to make a hole in the material.
For this purpose with the saw switched off, rest the saw on the support (1), and the blade tip (13) - on
the marked cutting line. Switch the saw on and slowly and carefully raise the rear handle, trying to
keep the support (1) permanently in contact with the material. Rotate the saw until the blade (13) has
plunged.entirely.into.the.material,.and.then.continue.cutting.in.the.desired.direction.
We do not recommend plunge cutting in hard materials to avoid the risk of injury.
To start a hole in a hard material, first drill a pilot hole suitable for the blade size.
It is important that the support is firmly pressed against the material during cutting. Thus you will
achieve.uniform.operation.and.lower.vibrations.

Lubrication

When cutting steel (pipes, profiles, etc.) use VIRAX lubricant for cutting to assist chips removal and re-
duce the temperature in the cutting area. The use of VIRAX lubricant for cutting increases blade life.

Maintenance

.WArNING:.Always.ensure.that.the.tool.is.switched.off.and.unplugged.before.attempting.to.
perform.inspection.or.maintenance..
brush.replacement.(Fig.6)
This power tool is equipped with auto-stop brushes. When the carbon brushes are worn out, the
machine.switches.itself.off..In.this.case.both.brushes.must.be.replaced.simultaneously.with.genuine.
brushes.at.VIRAX.service.centre.for.warranty.and.post-warranty.service.

General.inspection

Regularly.inspect.all.fasteners.and.ensure.they.are.properly.tightened..Should.any.of.the.screws.be.
loose,.retighten.it.immediately.to.avoid.hazards..
If.the.replacement.of.the.supply.cord.is.necessary,.this.has.to.be.done.by.the.manufacturer.or.his.agent.
in.order.to.avoid.a.safety.hazard.

Cleaning

For safe operation always keep the machine and its ventilation slots clean (3).
Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has entered the ventilation slots and the grills
around the switches. Use a soft brush and/or air jet to remove any accumulated dust. Wear safety
glasses to protect your eyes whilst clean¬ing.
Exterior.plastic.parts.may.be.cleaned.with.a.damp.cloth.and.mild.detergent.if.necessary.
.WArNING:.Never.use.alcohol,.petrol.or.other.cleaning.agent..Never.use.caustic.agents.to.
clean.plastic.parts.
.WArNING:.Water.must.never.come.into.contact.with.the.tool.
IMPOrTANT! To assure product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including
brush inspection and replacement) should be performed by VIRAX authorised service centres always
using.genuine.replacement.parts.

Warranty

The guarantee period for VIRAX power tools is 2 years.
Faults.due.to.normal.wear,.improper.handling.or.overloading.will.be.excluded.from.the.guarantee.
