When choosing the machine position it is recommended
to consider:
·
That the chosen position is not humid and that it is
sheltered from atmospheric agents;
·
That the surface is perfectly level, it is a non-slip surface
and that its bearing capacity is suitable for the weight of
the machine;
·
That there is adequate, free space around the machine;
·
That the location in which the machine is installed is
guarded or enclosed, to prevent children or
unauthorized persons from accessing the machine;
·
That suitable, approved lighting is provided;
·
That it is located near a main switch equipped with an
overload cutout;
·
That the power supply system is equipped with earthing
which complies with the relevant standards;
·
That the ambient temperature ranges between 0
o
C and
45
o
C;

safety standards in force, capable of protecting the
machine from overloading and short-circuiting.
·
Ensure that the cutting band rotates in the direction of the
arrow on the safety guard which covers it and that the saw
teeth are facing the correct direction (Fig.6).
