5 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 TR 250.
5.2 Cutting methods
To use the machine correctly, you must face it with one hand on the cutting head, and one on the
material to be cut to maintain it against the material stops. Always keep your hands away from the
moving blade.
5.2.1 Full depth or fixed cutting
In full depth or fixed cutting, the cutting head is locked in a fixed depth pushed into the material 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 table) by means of the handle on
the blade guard
•
Fix position by tightening the clamping device
•
Put material on table
•
Push the cutting head slowly and without undue pressure towards the material 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 cutting head. If the full depth of cut requires excessive pressure (on very
dense material e.g.) make 2 or 3 shallow cuts.
