Width of cut
The machine is fitted with protections which protect the entire blade stroke,
leaving exposed only the part of the blade required to make the cut itself as
specified by current standards. The width of the cut is determined by the
longitudinal section of the workpiece, so that only the part of the blade required
to make the cut is actually exposed.

the mobile front guide head must be positioned near to the material, leaving
