• Lock the drive shaft turning the spanner 24 mm (L, Fig.7) which carries the joint cutter. The shaft is designed with
two flat sides to allow the perfect accommodation for the key.
• Loosen the screw shaft with 19mm spanner (P, Fig.7), which is supplied with the joint cutter and remove the outer
flange of the blade (E, Fig.7). NOTE: The screws on both blades loose in the same direction as the blade
rotates.
• Place the blade on its axis, aligning the small hole with the pin fixed on the inner flange (I, Fig.7).
• Replace the outer flange attaching it to the fastened also fixed inner flange and tighten the axle nut perfectly again
using the two wrenches.
• Lower the receipt and attach securely to the chassis with its corresponding nut.
Always make sure the blade rotation is correct. Must match the one the arrow drawn on the same blade
and the one the arrow on the side of the blade.
Also check the correct coupling between blade and flanges before final tightening of the nut.
A blade in good condition is essential for optimal performance. Replace it whenever necessary. Use
original blades SIMA and always choose the most appropriate for the material to be cut. SIMA SA offers a
complete range covering all needs and facilitates the correct choice.
5.3 CUTTING WITH A SINGLE BLADE
TRENCHER 60/70 model is suitable to cut with either a single or two blades (D, Fig.8) to left or right of the machine,
as needed. After selecting the side of the machine where you want to install the blade, you may cut the flow of water
on the opposite side (A, Fig.5) to have greater autonomy. You should also remove the blade with which they want to
cut, leaving the two flanges (B, Fig.8) mounted on the shaft with set screw (T, Fig.8).
A blade in good condition is essential for optimal performance. Replace it whenever necessary. Use
original SIMA blades and always choose the most appropriate for the material to be cut. SIMA SA offers a
complete range of blades covering all needs and facilitates the correct choice.
5.4 CUTTING WITH TWO BLADES AT ONCE
There are three cutting width option; 60, 65 and 70cm. These cutting widths are achieved by placing the flanges in
various positions. In the control panel are two stickers which indicate the position of the flange to the widths of 60 and
70cm.
5.4.1
60 CM width cutting
For a 60cm cutting width, the closer ties should be placed on the inside and thicker on the outside, as shown in
(Fig. 9). To remove and replace the blades proceed as indicated in this manual.
5.4.2
70 CM width cutting
For a 70cm width cutting, the narrower flanges should be placed on the outside and wider on the inside, as shown
in (Fig. 10). To remove and replace the blades proceed as indicated in this manual.
5.4.3
65 CM width cutting
For a 65cm cutting width, it must be placed in one end of the machine the closer flange to the outside and wider on
the inside. At the other end of the machine is placed on the contrary, the flange closer to the inside and the wider
flange on the outside. As shown in (Fig. 11). To remove and replace the blades proceed as indicated in this
manual
