NOTE: Your plunge cut saw’s electrical system is equipped
with an undervoltage relay which automatically opens the
circuit when the voltage falls below a minimum pre-est-
ablished limit and which prevents the self-reset of ma-
chine functions when voltage returns to normal levels.
If the machine stops involutarily, do not be allarmed.
Make sure that there has not been a voltage failure in the
electrical system.
ADJUSTING
Caution: Prior to carrying out one of the following adjust-
ment steps, switch the machine off and unplug the mains
plug.
Cutting depth adjustment, Fig. 2
The cutting depth can be adjusted from 0 to 55 mm.
Unfasten the cutting depth adjustment screw (6) and set
the required depth using the scale (7) and retighten the
screw.
The dimentions on the rail shows the cutting depth with-
out rail.
Mitre settings, Fig. 3
The mitre square can be set from 0° to 45°.
Unfasten the mitre adjustment screws (8) on both sides,
set the desired mitre square on the scale (9) and retight-
en both screws.
Saw blade replacement, Fig. 4, 5, 6
Caution: Before you are going to make the saw blade change,
switch off the machine and unplug the power cord.
1 Press the plunge trigger (3), bring the saw blade into
the blade-change position (Adjustment screw for depth
of cut shall be adjusted to 25mm) and insert the hex
wrench into the blade locking screw (17).
2 Press on the shaft lock (13) and rotate the saw blade
(10) until the lock clicks into place.
3 Hold down the locking shaft (13) and open the blade
locking screw (17) counter clockwise, while keeping
the blade in the blade-changing position.
4 Remove the outer flange (16) and the saw blade (10).
(Caution: risk of injuries, wear protective gloves)
5 Insert the new blade and flange.
6 Screw in and tighten the saw blade locking screw while
keeping the shaft locking mechanism pressed again.
7 Set the plunge saw to its original position.
Adjusting the splitting wedge, Fig. 7
Adjust the distance between saw blade and splitting
wedge after a saw blade replacement, or whenever neces-
sary.
Put the saw in the same position as you do when replac-
ing a saw blade.
Unfasten the adjustment screw (18) using an Allen key
and set the splitting wedge 2-3 mm higher than the saw
blade, then retighten the adjustment screw.
Operations
After having performed all the above procedures and
opera tions, you may begin cutting.
m Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern technology in
accor dance with recognized safety rules. Some remaining
hazards, how ever, may still exist.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can lead
to injuries caused by electricity.
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some re-
maining hazards which are not yet evident may still
be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following the
instructions in „Safety Precautions“, „Proper Use“ and
in the entire operating manual.
• Do not force the machine unnecessarily: excessive
cutt ing pressure may lead to rapid deterioration of the
blade and a decrease in performance in terms of finish
and cutting precision.
• When cutting aluminium and plastics always use the
app ro priate clamps: all workpieces must be clamped
down firmly.
• Avoid accidental starts: do not press the start button
while inserting the plug into the socket.
• Always use the tools recommended in this manual to
obtain the best results from your plunge cut saw.
• Always keep hands away from the work area when the
ma chine is running; before performing tasks of any
kind release the main switch button located on the
handgrip, thus disconnecting the machine.
m Suitable use
To cut:
• Hard and soft, domestic and exotic wood both longitu-
dinally and transversally and with appropriate adjust-
ments (specific blade and clamps);
Unsuitable use
Do not cut:
• Ferrous materials, steel and cast iron or any other ma-
terial not mentioned above and in particular foodstuffs.
Start-up
Observe the safety notes in the operating instructions before
operating the machine.
REMOVAL OF PACKAGING
Remove the box used to protect the machine during
trans portion and keep it intact for future transportation
and storage.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Check that the electrical system to which the machine is
connected is earthed in compliance with current safety reg-
ulations and that the current socket is in perfect condition.
The electrical system must be fitted with a magnetother-
mal protective device to safeguard all conductors from
short circuits and overload.
The selection of this device should be in line with the
following electrical specifications of the machine stated
on the motor.
