5. OPERATION SAFETY
- Before using the saw, ensure that all protection devices are
fi tted.
- Never use the saw in environments subject to the risk of
explosions or fi re.
The saw is not tted with speci c lighting and therefore the workplace
must be suf ciently lit for this purpose (min. 300 lux).
The power lines must be laid to prevent any possible damage.
Ensure that the electrical connection is protected against the risk of
water penetration in connectors. Only use connectors and couplings
equipped with spray guards.
Never use inadequate or makeshift electrical lines or cables without
earthing; if in doubt consult a specialised technician.
Repairs to the electrical installation must be performed exclusively by
specialised personnel Disconnect the machine from the power supply
before performing maintenance or repairs.
6. GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
This machine was designed to provide the best performance and the
highest degree of safety: however, it is up to the operator to ensure this
safety, by taking due care during all work phases. The following are
recommended:
1. Ensure that an effi cient earthing system is installed.
2. Work only with all protection devices fi tted correctly and in
effi cient working order.
3. Remove rings, watches, bracelets or ties before using the
machine; these elements constitute a serious hazard to the
operator. Also ensure that sleeves are tight around the wrists, hair
is tied back and robust footwear is used.
4. Always use personal protection devices such as safety goggles,
suitably sized gloves, ear muffs or plugs and hair caps when
necessary.
5. Never cut workpieces that have dimensions or weight that are
not suited to machine i capacity as specifi ed by the manufacturer
(see point 4.2)
6. Always keep your hands away from the work areas when the
machine is running. Before taking any action to remove a piece
from close to the disc, stop rotation by pressing the stop button.
7. Keep the machine clean: the general cleanliness of the machine
(especially its work tables) is an important factor in its safety.
8. Always stop the machine and disconnect from the power
supply before cleaning or removing any protection device (for
maintenance or disassembly purposes). If water jets are used
for cleaning, never point jets directly at the power supply unit or
electric motor.
9. Use genuine diamond blades as recommended by the
manufacturer to ensure optimal performance of the machine.
10. Use exclusively water-cooled discs of a type suited to the
material to be cut.
11. Never dry cut material or cut when cooling water levels are low.
12. Never use blades over the rotation speed specifi ed by the
manufacturer.
13. Do not use reduction rings to adapt the hole of the disc on
the fl ange. Only use discs with hole corresponding to the fl ange
supplied with the machine (1").
14. Never use diamond blades that are chipped or deformed.
15. The instructions in this manual are aimed at machine users
(operators, maintenance engineers).
7. SAFETY DEVICES
The M400 SMART has been constructed taking into account current
harmonised European safety standards.
According to the "machinery directive" 2006/42/EEC, all safety devices
have been installed with the aim of safeguarding the operator.
7.1 Guards and safety devices
The machine is equipped with xed guards, secured by means of screws
and protections that prevent access to moving or dangerous parts. All
xed guards, covers, shields xed by means of screws have been
envisaged to protect the operator (maintenance engineers, technicians
and others) from possible accidents cause by electrical discharge or
moving mechanical parts.
Therefore use of the machine with guards removed or modi ed in any
way is strictly prohibited.
- Before performing maintenance or repairs to the machine,
turn it off via the main switch and disconnect from the power
supply to prevent inadvertent start-up and isolate all machine
electrical circuits.
8. MACHINE INSTALLATION
- Always remove the plug from the mains power before moving
the machine.
- Always empty the tank before moving the machine.
8.1 Positioning
The machine must be placed on a smooth surface that is at least as
large as its frame, or supported on its legs.
In the event of moving the saw, take care to lock the head by means
of the knob
(Fig.1, Ref.D), lock the carriage with its cotter pin (Fig.1, Ref.N) and lift
the machine by the handles machined into the frame (Fig.1, Ref.O)
after having shut off its power supply.
8.2 Opening the legs.
To open the legs, proceed as follows: raise the machine at the rear
(Fig.1, Ref.1), push the leg in the direction of the arrow (Fig.1, Ref.2)
to move the bolt (Fig.1, Ref.3) away from the stop, turn it to open it
(Fig.1, Ref.4) and snug the bolt into the slot (Fig.1, Ref.5). Now rest
the machine on the ground. Now do the same at the front end of the
machine. To close the legs, reverse the procedure.
8.3 Lifting and handling
The M400 SMART sawing machine weighs 77 Kg and can be moved by
hand, lifting it with the handles machined into its frame or with a hoist,
with ropes hooked into the indicated attachment points (Fig.1, Ref.P).
The wheels (Fig.1, Ref.Q) are an aid to loading the machine onto a truck
with a mobile platform.
9. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- Ensure that voltage corresponds to machine dataplate
specifi cations.
The power supply line must be equipped with current overload protection
(e.g. thermal cutout) and protection against indirect contact (e.g. residual
current circuit breaker). Connect the machine to an ef cient earthing
system. The size of the power cable wires must be based on operating
current and length of the power line to prevent excessive voltage drops
(table 4).
