INSTALLATION
2.1 REMOVAL OF PACKAGING
Remove the box used to protect the machine during
transportation and keep it intact for future transportation
and storage.
2.2 HANDLING
This mitre-saw is small and light so it is easily handled
by one person alone by locking the transportation block
using the pin
19
.
2.3 TRANSPORTATION
To transport the machine, place it in the box it was in
when purchased. Ensure it is placed in the correct position
indicated by the arrows on the packaging.
Pay careful attention to the ideograms printed on the box
as they provide all necessary information for palletization
and stacking of boxes.
Tying the load down with ropes or safety belts is
recommended during transportation to stop the load from
sliding or falling.
2.4 POSITION/WORK STATION (Fig. 3-4)
Place the machine on a work bench or on a suffi ciently fl at
base/pedestal to ensure the best possible stability.
Bearing in mind ergonomic criteria, the ideal height of the
bench or of the base should be such that the base surface
or the upper work surface is between 90 and 95 cm. from
the ground
(see Fig. 3)
.
Always ensure that there is at least 80 cm. of manoeuvring
space in all directions around the machine in order
to perform all necessary cleaning, maintenance and
adjustment operations safely with a suffi cient amount of
space available
(see Fig. 4)
.
Secure the machine to the bench using the four holes
found on the base.
CAUTION: Ensure the machine is placed in a
suitable position both in terms of environmental
conditions and lighting.
Always bear in mind that general environmental
conditions are of fundamental importance to
prevent accidents.
2.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Check that the electrical system to which the machine is
connected is earthed in compliance with current safety
regulations and that the current socket is in perfect
condition.
The electrical system must be fi tted with a circuit breaker
protective device to safeguard all conductors from short
circuits and overload.
The selection of this device should be in line with the
following electrical specifi cations of the machine stated
on the motor.
NOTE: Your mitre-saw’s electrical system is
equipped with an undervoltage relay which
automatically opens the circuit when the voltage
falls below a minimum pre-established limit and
which prevents the self-reset of machine functions
when voltage returns to normal levels.
If the machine stops involuntarily, do not be
alarmed. Make sure that there has not been a
voltage failure in the electrical system.

ADJUSTING
ATTENTION: All the adjustment procedures
illustrated below must be performed when the
machine’s engine is off .
3.1 ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING ANGLE-HEAD
ROTATION (Fig. 5)
Release turntable
5
by loosening knob or lever 8.
- Disconnect striker
20
rotating it clockwise.
- Rotate the turntable, selecting the desired angle by
means of the graduated scale
21
and then lock knob
or lever 8 into position.
NOTE: There already exist preset cutting angles
(0° ± 15° ± 20° 30° ± 30° ± 45°) at which the turntable
may be set by means of striker D.
3.2 ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING ANGLE - HEAD
ANGLE (Fig. 6)
Valid for Mod. 280S - 305S - 305W
- Release the blade unit by loosening lever
24
.
- Swing the blade group and lock the lever 24.again.
3.3 ADJUSTING THE SPLITTER WEDGE (Fig. 7)
When using the upper surface, the splitter wedge stops
the blade being stopped by eccessive surface pressure
during cutting:
If suche adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows
Lower surface

.
- Lift protection casing

.
- Loosen screws
22
.
- Adjusting splitte wedge
23
until it is about 2 mm away
from the blade and about 2 mm below the upper blade
edge.
- Losck screws
