Operator’s handbook
6. USE
6.1 Preliminary checks
As soon as the machine is unpacked, before starting
the motor, unlock the saw-motor arm as follows:
Pull knob N (fi g. 16) out and put the
sawmotor arm to its standby position.
Make sure that the blade guard moves
correctly and scrupulously check that the
blade is not hindered by anything by rota-
ting it by hand.
ATTENTION: in order not to jeopardise
the stability of the machine during cutting
operations, it must be secured to a stable
structure, using the holes in the base (see
point 5.3).
6.2 Lower part cutting operation
The cutting operation in the lower part is carried out
as follows:
ATTENTION: Use the vices to fi rmly clamp
the two sides of the workpiece if its shape
and size are such as to make it diffi cult to
safely fi x them both on the table and
against the rear stop. It is forbidden to
carry out cuts on workpieces which are
badly laid or not fi rmly fi xed. (see Fig. 41-
41A).
take the handle, press lever E (fi g.30) and slightly
lower the saw-motor arm. Press the motor start
button “I” (fi g.30) located on the handle and wait
for the motor to reach operating rpm.
securely fi x the material to be cut to the work
base keeping it pushed with a clamp against the
edges of the support so that it does not move
during the cut (fi g. 15).
use the handle to lower the blade until it comes
into contact with the material to be cut, then
gradually push until completing the desired cut.
ATTENTION: pushing harder on the
handle during the cut does not necessarily
mean a faster cutting speed. On the con-
trary, it may cause excessive overloading
of the motor and less effi cient operation
(the motor may breakdown and the blade
may get damaged).
when you fi nish cutting turn off the motor by
releasing the switch and put the saw-motor arm
in its standby position and make sure the arm
lock triggers.
when you fi nish cutting turn off the motor by
pressing button “I” (fi g.30) and put the saw-
motor arm in its standby position and make sure
the arm lock triggers.
Tips for cutting at 90° and 45° see fi g. 6B, 6C.
6.3 Cutting on the upper surface
Only for models JET when working on the
upper surface you must mount the lower
guard supplied with the machine. Always
use the piece pusher during cutting opera-
tions on the upper surface.
To mount this guard proceed as follows:
if the saw-motor arm is locked in the lowered
position, raise it (see point 5.1) and insert guard
F (fi g. 31) in the support guides. Lower the saw-
motor arm and lock it centring the previously
mounted guard.
The cutting operation on the upper surface is carried
out as follows:
release knob N (fi g. 29) of upper guard M.
loosen knobs G (fi g. 32), set the desired cutting
height based on the dimensions of the piece to be
processed by raising or lowering the upper sur-
face by acting on the knob F (Fig.30). Once you
have obtained the desired position, lock knobs G
starting with the one closest to the operator.
loosen knobs H (fi g. 33) and adjust upper square
I in the position required for the desired cutting
width (indicated on the millimetre ruler printed
on the upper surface) and lock using knobs H.
Make sure that the upper square is parallel to the
side of the blade.
check the operation of the upper saw guard M
(Fig. 29) and correct locking of the upper square
I (fi g. 33).
start the motor using the start switch “I” and put
the piece to be cut at the beginning of the surface
