5 Operating the machine
5.1 Site of work
5.1.1 Siting the machine
•
Remove from the site anything, which might hinder the working procedure!
•
Make sure the site is sufficiently well lit!
•
Make sure you have a continual adequate view of the working area so you can intervene in the
working process at any time!
•
Keep other staff out of the area, so you can work securely.
5.1.2 Space required for operation and maintenance
Leave 2 m in front of the machine and 1, 5 m around it for usage and maintenance of the Jumbo
1000 P13
5.2 Cutting methods
To use the machine correctly, you must be on the side of the machine with one hand on the
handwheel, and the other ready to stop the machine in case of emergency. Always keep your
hands away from the moving blade.
•
Lower the cutting head to the desired cutting depth (in “through cutting”, lower cutting head until
blade periphery reaches max. 3-5mm under the surface of the cutting table) by means of the
handle on the blade guard and the scale over the head.
•
Fix position by tightening the clamping device.
•
Put material on cutting table.
•
Start the engine (see point 3.2)
•
Turn the handwheel slowly and without undue pressure towards the rotating blade and cut the
material.
•
When your cut is finished, turn the handwheel so that the blade is completely out of the material
before stopping the machine.
REMARK: If the full depth of cut requires excessive pressure (on very dense material e.g.) make 2
or 3 shallow cuts.
