OPERATING THE MACHINE
In this part, you will find some safety tips to use the machine.
5.1 Site of work
5.1.1 Sitting 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 around the machine for usage and maintenance of the CST.
5.2 Cutting material
To use the CST correctly, you must face it with one hand on one of the 3 handles of the cutting
head, and the other ready to shut the machine down in case of emergency. Always keep your hands
away from the moving blade.
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 thanks to the hand wheel to the desired cutting depth. I
n “through
cutting”, lower cutting head until blade periphery reaches max. 3mm under the surface of the
conveyor cart (for maximal cutting depth).

Put the material on the table and maintain it firmly against the butting. (or the cutting guide when
appropriate).

Pull the cutting head slowly and without undue pressure towards the material.

You can tilt the head for bevel cuts. For this purpose, untighten the two black buttons on each
side of the frame, and tilt the head to the desired position (from 0 to 45º). Tighten then the two
buttons.

To cut thicker materials, you can cut a first side, and then reverse it to cut the total depth. You
can cut materials until 220mm depth. (370mm for the 500mm blade versions).
