1 GENERAL WARNINGS

and all the indications shown must be scrupulously followed.
This manual and all the literature enclosed with it must be kept in an easily accessible place known to all

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The
BLITZ
has been specifically designed for sawing profiles in aluminium or light alloy.
The machine has been specifically designed to be used by a single operator.
WORKING PRINCIPLE:
- Once a profile is placed on the work tables of the two heads, a pneumatic circuit activates the horizontal
and vertical vices that clamp the profile in place.
- Two motors drive the rotational movement of the respective saw blades. Operated by buttons on the control
console, the blades come out, cut the profile and return automatically.
- Cutting is possible at external angles from 90° to 12° for BLITZ 55 (10° for BLITZ 50, 20° for BLITZ 60L)
and from 90° to 45° internally.
- When cutting is complete the vices open again to allow another profile to be positioned for the next cut.
The instructions for the various pieces of electronic equipment supplied with the models which BLITZ can be
used with are enclosed with this instruction manual as separate publications.
