USE
WARNING!
Always keep hands away from the cutting area
and do not try to approach it when the machine
is running. Before any cutting operation, check
that all safety guards are sound and correctly
positioned.
USE AS A CUTTING-OFF MACHINE (Fig. 2-3)
-
Raise the upper table as far as possible.
-
Release the head with the block pin
16
.
-
Raise the machine head as far as possible.
-
Secure the workpiece firmly against the angular
bearings
18
of the base with your left hand, thus
ensuring absolute immobility during cutting.
-
Put your right hand on the handgrip
1
and press the
button
9
in order to release the head.
-
Actuate the motor with the main switch start button
2
on the handgrip.
-
Lower the head and gradually bring the blade into
contact with the workpiece.
-
Complete cutting and raise the head to its original
position.
-
Turn off the motor by releasing the main switch button
2
.
WARNING!
If cutting with double inclination (rotation and
inclination of the head) keep the workpiece fi rmly
against the machine with your right hand and
lower the head with your left hand (Fig. 12).
USE AS A CIRCULAR SAW (Fig. 13-14)
WARNING!
When working on the upper table, it is necessary
to install the lower protective cap 23 supplied (Fig.
13).
The machine is equipped with a pusher the
dimensions and shape of which are in compliance
with the safety standards (Fig. 14).
When using the machine as a CIRCULAR SAW
(thus using the upper table for the machine
operations), such fitting MUST absolutely be
used. Hold pusher from side A while side B must
be put into contact with the piece to be cut as
shown in the fi gure. The pusher enables to push
the workpiece while keeping your hands away
from the blade cutting area.
- When the motor is off, lower the machine head and block
it by means of the locking pin
16
.
-
Adjust the height of the upper work surface according to
the cutting height desired and adjust the bearing bracket
as described in the paragraph
“ADJUSTMENT OF
UPPER SURFACE’S HEIGTH” and “ADJUSTMENT
OF THE BEARING BRACKET”.
-
Check that the upper protective cap correctly works:
after lifting it slightly, it must return to its original position,
covering the blade completely.
-
Start the motor by pushing the button
2
, and lock the
main switch in “ON” position by means of the locking
device
19
located in the lower area of the handgrip.
-
Place the workpiece to be cut on the work surface,
placing it laterally against the bracket and then move
the workpiece slowly and gradually towards the
blade.
CAUTION: The workpiece must always be held
fi rmly, paying attention not to hold it near the
cutting area.
-
To turn off the machine, push the start button
2
of the
main switch, which automatically release the locking
device
19
.
INSTALLATION AND/OR REPLACEMENT OF THE
BLADE (Fig. 15-16-17-18)
WARNING!
It is obligatory to use blades as wide as the
original blade in order that the outer fl ange is
perfectly blocked on the axle or the machine when
re-assembling the blade.
This procedure must be carried out only after
having turned off the machine’s motor by
releasing the main switch button 2.
Before carrying out any maintenance work, always
disconnect the power cable from the mains.
Never install blades which appear to be
cracked.
Raise the upper surface to its maximum height.
Loosen the screw
28
located on the right side of the mitre
saw behind the motor, and turn the moving protection
11
to completely release the blade.
While the head is in the rest position (raised), lock the
outer flange
29
with the wrench provided, and unbolt
the hexagonal-head screw clockwise with the hexagonal
spanner. Remove the blade and replace it with another
one, paying attention that the sense of rotation indicated
by the arrow on the protection device
10
corresponds to
the cutting pitch of the teeth. Before you assemble the
blade, thoroughly clean the support fl anges. Reposition
the external fl ange
29
while making sure that it is perfectly
inserted on the shaft, then tighten the screw. Before re-
inserting the screw
28
, replace protective cap
11
so as to
completely cover the blade.
SELECTION OF THE BLADE
The mitre-saw is equipped with a WIDIA blade (305 diameter
x 30 bore).
Contact our Authorised Service Centres located nationwide
for blades having different tooth formations.
