Operating the machine
5.1 Site of work
5.1.1 Siting the machine

Remove from the site anything, which might hinder the working procedure!

Make sure the site is sufficiently well lit!

Observe manufacturer's conditions for connecting to power supplies!

Place electric cables in such a way that damage by the device is excluded!

Make sure you have a continual adequate view of the working area so you can intervene in the
working process at any time!

Keep other staff out of the area, so you can work securely.
5.1.2 Space required for operation and maintenance
Leave 2 m in front of the machine and 1,5 m around it for usage and maintenance of the CGW EVO.
5.2 Cutting methods
To use the machine correctly, you must face it with one hand on the handle of the cutting head, and
the other on the conveyor cart. Always keep your hands away from the moving blade. Open the
switch cover and press the green button to start the machine. To stop either use the red button or
press directly on the switch front cover.
5.2.1 Full depth or fixed cutting
In full depth or fixed cutting, the cutting head is locked in a fixed position and the material is pushed
into it as shown.

Lower the cutting head to the desired cutting depth (in “through cutting”, lower cutting head until
blade periphery reaches max. 3mm under the surface of the conveyor cart) by means of the
handle on the blade guard

Fix position by tightening the clamping device

Put material on conveyor cart

Push the conveyor cart slowly and without undue pressure towards the rotating blade and cut
the material as shown on the picture.
NOTE: While recommended, it is not absolutely necessary to lock the cutting head into a given
depth position when jam cutting. The desired cutting depth can be maintained by holding firmly the
depth feed handle on the blade guard. If the full depth of cut requires excessive pressure (on very
dense material e.g.) make 2 or 3 shallow cuts.
