Hydraulic system requirements
The hydraulic system should provide a flow of 5.8-13.2 gpm / 22-50 lpm at an operating pressure
of 950-2000 PSI / 66-140 bar. Recommended relief valve setting is 2100-2250 PSI/ 145-155 bar.
WARNING!
Never use your hydraulic tool with a pressure relief valve in line!
The system should not have more than 250 PSI/ 17 bar back pressure measured at the tool end of
the operating hoses. The system conditions for measurement are at maximum fluid viscosity or
400 ssu / 82 centistokes (minimum operating temperature).
The hydraulic system should have sufficient heat rejection capacity to limit the maximum oil
temperature to 140° F / 60° C at the maximum expected ambient temperature. The recommended
minimum cooling capacity is 5 hp / 3.73 kW at a 40° F / 4° C difference between ambient
temperature and oil temperature.
The hydraulic system should have a minimum of 25 micron full-flow filtration. It is recommended
that filter elements be sized for a flow of at least 30 gpm/ 114 lpm for cold temperature startup and
maximum dirt holding capacity.
The recommended hose size is 0.500 inch / 12 mm I.D. to 50 ft / 15 m long and 0.625 inch /
16 mm I.D. minimum up to 100 ft / 30 m long.
The return hose of the machine must connect directly to the circuit return line and go straight
through the oil filter, thermal valve, and oil cooler to the reservoir. To prevent trapped or reversed
pressure, fluid should not be returned through a blocking or reversing valve.

The machine cannot be operated with the hydraulic flow reversed. Supply (IN) and return (OUT)
hoses must be connected as marked on the sides of the tool ports.
IMPORTANT!
Do not run the tool return hose through stack or directional valves. If the circuit is operated from a
stack valve, tap only the pressure port to the valve. Connect the tool return directly to the return
fluid line.
Your hydraulic machine is an open-center tool. Operate open-center tools from open-center
hydraulic circuits only. Operate closed-center tools from closed-center hydraulic circuits only.
The tool can be operated with oil or emulsion (HFA).
Pay attention that the tool is not operated with pressure exceeding the technical data
indicated, when power is supplied by the system.
Apply pressure reducing valves, otherwise the machine could be damaged or destructed.
A minimal volume flow of 22 l/min is required to obtain the indicated performance data.
If the maximum pressure exceeds 140 bar, the pressure oil supply has to be equipped with a
pressure limiting valve.

Equipment protection and care
Important!
In addition to the a. m. safety instructions, observe the following for equipment protection and care.
Always store the tool in a clean, dry space, safe from damage or pilferage.
Always keep critical tool markings, such as labels and stickers, legible.
Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts with replacement parts recommended by
SPITZNAS.
Supply hoses must have a minimum working pressure rating of 2500 PSI/ 175 bar.
Always use hoses that have an oil resistant inner surface and an abrasive resistant outer surface.
Whenever near electrical conductors, use clean hose labeled and certified non-conductive hose.
Tool repair should be performed by experienced personnel only.
Make sure all couplers are wiped clean before connection.
The hydraulic power supply valve must be in the "OFF" position when coupling or uncoupling
hydraulic tools. Failure to do so can result in damage to the quick couplers and cause overheating
of the hydraulic system.
Do not exceed 13.2 gpm / 50 lpm flow rate. Rapid failure of the tool's internal seals might result.

Make sure the circuit pressure hose (with male quick disconnect) is connected to the "IN" port
below the right-hand side of the tool. The circuit return hose (with female quick disconnect) is
connected to the "OUT" port below the tool center.
Do not reverse the fluid flow from that marked on the tool ports. Flows, when reversed, will not be
limited by the priority flow control valve
Always use the open-center (OC) tool on open-center circuits.
OPERATION INSTRUCTION
Selecting the saw blade
For best performance, longer blade life and smoother cut, select the proper blade for the job. When
cutting metal always select a blade which will allow at least three teeth to be engaged in the work
piece.
Before you start to work
Select the blade best suited for the material to be cut. For greatest economy, use the shortest
blade suitable for the thickness of the material to be cut. Be sure, the material to be cut is rigid.
Small work pieces should be securely clamped in a bench device or with clamps to the work table.
As the work progresses in helix or curved cut-out pieces, the material may be readjusted to
accommodate the movement of the saw.
If the work piece is big enough, it may be held only by hand across saw horses. Forcing the saw
will not make it cut faster.
Sawing wood
The sabre saw is used much the same as a reciprocating saw in that it is moved toward the
operator during the cutting operation. However, since the blade cuts on the up-stroke instead of
the down-stroke as in the case of the reciprocating saw, the good or finish side of the work should
face down during cutting operation.
Plunge cuts
The sabre saw can also be used for plunge cutting wood, plywood, wallboards and plastic
materials. Do not attempt to plunge cut metal. Clearly mark line of cut on the work.
Before connecting the saw place tip of saw on the cutting point while resting saw on the lower edge
of support shoe (Fig. 1).
It is important to press the support shoe firmly against the material to be cut in order to obtain a
uniform and smooth cutting operation.

Fig.1
Installing the saw blade
Loosen clamp screw item 2 on blade thrust piece item 3 so that the saw blade can be inserted over
the centre pin item 4. Saw blade must be positioned between the two arms of the U-shaped blade
thrust piece Figure 2.The saw blade must be positioned in the recess in the base of the blade
thrust piece Figure 3. Secure the saw blade tightly with clamp screw item 2, otherwise the centre
pin may become damaged or could shear. The centre pin is not intended to hold the saw blade.
This function is performed by clamping action of clamp screw item 2. If this cannot be properly
tightened, because the screw socket or socket wrench is worn, the centre pin will shear off. For this
reason, replace the clamp screw item 2 and the socket wrench well, before wear becomes
excessive.

Sawing metal
When cutting angle iron, H-beam, I-beam, tubes, pipes etc., start the cut on the surface where the
greatest number of teeth will contact the work. To make a pocket cut, drill a starting hole first. To
extend blade life, cutting oil can be applied to the work surface along the line of the cut.
Sawing free-hand
For straight or curved cutting, place the support shoe item 15 on the work piece and start the saw.
Use only sharp and faultless blades. Take care to cut at a uniform feeding speed. This will reduce
the risk of accidents and wear on saw and blade. Always keep the connecting line (air hose)
towards the rear of the saw.
Maintenance Instruction
Good maintenance practice keeps the tool on the job and increases its service life.
The most important maintenance practice is to keep the hydraulic fluid clean at all times.
Contaminated fluid causes rapid wear and/ or failure of internal parts.
The proper quantity of grease is very important with regard to good lubrication and low heat
generation.

MAINTENANCE OF HYDRAULIC TOOLS
Only proper maintenance can ensure
constant performance, reduction in wear
and thus, a decrease in operating costs
and an increase in service life.
Our hydraulic tools are equipped for an
operating pressure of up to 100 bar.
Regulator setting for a lower operating
pressure is possible.
The tools should not run empty, because
this results in heat and higher wear of the
output section and the tool holder.
The hydraulic oil should be clean. This is
ensured by professional equipment.
Clean the connecting parts before
connecting the hydraulic hoses.
For an economic use of the hydraulic
tools the required sizes of pipe, fittings
and hoses have to be adjusted.
Proper greasing of the gear and the tool
heads is a must. See the operation
manual on this.
After finishing the work the tools have to
be cleaned and protected against
corrosion.
Visible grease nipples are provided for
regular lubrication of the gears with a
grease gun, or the gearboxes have a
long term greasing.
Note the following for grease lubrication:
Every 60 hours of operation check
striking mechanism, friction bearings and
antifriction bearings; if necessary, grease
them. Every 300 hours of operation
grease the gears and antifriction
bearings anew. In the case of impact
wrenches, use a grease gun to grease
the anvil guide before beginning daily
work, or every 6-8 hours.
All inner parts of the drive (tool holder
must be lubricated before storing for
longer periods of time in order to prevent
rusting. It is recommended to check the
vanes and bearings at regular intervals.
Store tools in dry rooms only.
Grease to be used:
In general: SAE 5 W to SAE 10
For impact wrenches without gear only SAE 5 W
For saw chain greasing on chain saws:
Machine oil with adhesive additive, viscosity:
c ST 49-55’ (6,5-7,5 E)/ 50°C
- Examples-
GREASE (free of acids and resins) Multi-purpose greases for antifriction
and friction bearings and gears Special greases for high-speed miter gears
