The machine can make various types of cuts:
- cut across the piece
- curved shaped cut (only wide angles and on thin pieces)
- tilted cut (from 0° to 45°)
Cutting:
- press the switch (pos. 12) to start the machine
- hold the piece with both hands, push it forwards and downwards against the work
surface (the blade tends to drag the piece upwards)
WARNING! Keep hands away from the cutting area.
- finish cutting
- turn off the machine.
For hole-shaped cut:
- drill a Ø10mm hole in the area to be cut. Remove the blade and insert it in the hole
and reassemble with the piece (see following chapters).
- before starting, make sure assembly is correct and that the blade does not touch
the piece.
- cut following the line traced on the piece. Turn off the machine and remove the blade
and piece; at this point, eliminate cut parts.
BLADE
WARNING! The cutting part can cause serious injuries – use protection gloves!
- Use good quality blades with the same characteristics as the machine based on its
technical data – your retailer will be able to help you make the correct choice. Also
observe any instructions provided with the equipment.
- Do not use blades if you do not know where they are from or without technical
specifications.
- The dimensions must correspond to those shown on the machine.
- Use blades which conform to the regulations in force in the country of use.
- Always carry out a simple visual check: there must be no deformations, breakages
or damages.
Our company provides a complete series of blades suitable for your machine, which
you can buy from your retailer.
BLADE REPLACEMENT (FIG. D)
WARNING! Before replacing parts, turn the switch to OFF “O” (switched off)
and unplug the machine from the electric power supply.
WARNING! After cutting the blade reaches high temperatures: Wait for it to
cool down before replacing it.
WARNING! Even if the blade has stopped, it is still very sharp: Use gloves to
prevent serious injuries.
WARNING! The assembly of the blade must be carried out with absolute
precision. Incorrect assembly causes very serious danger.
When replacing the blade, proceed as follows. The operation must be carried out by
an expert; if in doubt please contact an authorised service centre.
1) Unplug the machine from the electric power supply.
2) For correct reassembly, observe carefully the various components before pro-
ceeding.
3) Lift the cutting area guard (pos. 14).
4) Rotate the hand wheel counterclockwise (pos. 9) a few turns to loosen the blade
tension.
5) Hold the blade with one hand and push the upper blade lock down with the other
(pos. 6) while simultaneously extracting the blade from its housing.
6) Extract the blade from the lower blade lock (which can be seen through the slot
on the work surface).
7) Clean components and the new blade.
8) Install the new blade observing the cutting direction: Teeth must face down (fig.
D).
9) Insert the blade in the lower blade lock first and then in the upper one.
10) Use the hand wheel (pos. 9) to tension the blade (see chapter ADJUSTMENTS).
11) Lower the cutting area guard.
12)
Carefully
check that the guard covers the cutting area.
13) Make sure the blade is assembled correctly.
14) Carry out a test with the machine running idle.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before conducting checks or maintenance, turn the switch to OFF
“O” (switched off) and unplug the machine from the electric power supply.
WARNING! Do not tamper with or attempt to repair engine or electrical parts.
Do not access internal parts.
Machine working life and costs also depend on constant and meticulous maintenance.
Always observe the following instructions.
CLEANING AFTER USE
- Routinely clean and care for your machine to ensure that it remains perfectly efficient
and has a long working life.
- Remove sawdust using a soft brush and vacuum; take scrap material to a recycling
centre.

- Do not spray or soak the machine with water.
- Do not use any inflammable substances, detergents or solvents as these may
damage the machine beyond repair. The plastic parts can easily be damaged by
chemical agents.
- Do not use compressed air for cleaning: Risk of flying chips and splinters!
- Pay the utmost attention when cleaning the switch, engine fan slots, blade, adjustment
knobs, work surface, work surface insert and dust blowing tube.
For your safety, periodically check the conditions of the following components.
Replace them if damaged or worn:
- switch (pos. 12)
- blade (pos. 5)
- blade guard (pos. 14)
- exhaust manifold (pos. 16)
- work surface plastic insert (pos. 13)
- power supply plug and cable (pos. 23)
LUBRICATION
At the points indicated in Fig. A with the bottle symbol, lubricate the bushings on the
fixed upper arm (pos. 7) on both sides with a few drops of oil.
- at first use
- after 5 hours of use
- then every 10 hours of use.
Remove any excess oil with a cloth.
