Tools / FABRIS 250 Minor Cut Off Saw
« Last post by philf on Today at 11:40:27 AM »
Hi,
I'm just trying to get a Fabris 250 Minor cold cut-off saw working for a friend. He's ordered a new 25uF 450v capacitor which should get it running but the wiring is a complete mystery to me. Has anyone got a manual with circuit diagram? I found an online manual in Spanish which I ran a brilliant online translation on. Unfortunately the manual (although it references diagrams) has no diagrams whatsoever.
What bothers me is that the main on/off switch is between the control and the motor and not on the incoming mains. The start button latches a 24vac relay but there's no way to power it off completely without unplugging the mains plug.
As soon as you plug in the 230/24vac transformer is always powered up which doesn't feel at all right to me.
The main on/off switch is in a separate housing to the main control and I can't see any way that it has ever switched the incoming mains. There is a 2 speed version and maybe the switch, in the case of the two speed version, switches between the two speeds.
The wiring has obviously been messed with by someone who perhaps thought they knew what they were doing.
Hence why I'd like to see a diagram!
Cheers.
Phil.

Thanks Guys

ATM I can't/mustn't lift anything, which is a trial of will because I feel like I can. 

If the statins allow it , I'll try some cad work:-)

I'm about two weeks out from a triple bypass and feel remarkably well. Scar from neck to belly , and a bruise from groin to heal of left foot.

As long as I gently marinade in paracetamol, Im ok.

You sound quite chipper considering what you've been through Bill!

Hi Folks,
A varied week in which the heat exchanger is completer, the fault on the rise and fall column from last week is found, and in order to get the old bench in the Blacksmiths shop removed, I make and fit some metal racks to the wall to store my vast collection of interesting bits of metal! I also Became a Dong farmer (qv) for a couple of hours, and a dog food delivery man, but thats another story!
Phil,  In soaking wet and cold East Yorkshire!
