STARTING AND STOPPING
!
!
WARNING! Before starting the machine it is compulsory to
put on goggles, gloves, headphones and dust mask (not provided
with the machine).
!
!
WARNING! Whilst starting and stopping, make sure that nobody
approaches the machine. Keep safety distance from all moving
parts and from the cutting area.
!
!
WARNING! The motor, the moving parts and the blade continue
to run for a short while after the machine is switched off. During
this time, these parts must not be touched. Serious injury hazard!
Before starting the machine check the integrity of all the components
and that all the bolts and couplings are tight.
STARTING UP
1) Make sure service keys are inserted.
2) Insert the power cable plug into the socket.
3) Stand alongside the machine and ensure that all people and animals
are far away.
4) To start press the ON ‘I’ switch (switched on).
If you notice any working defects, switch off the machine and consult
the chapter “troubleshooting and permitted operations”.
STOPPING
To stop the machine, press the OFF “O” switch.
When not using the machine, turn it off and disconnect the plug from
the socket.
Motor protection (where fitted)
The machine can be equipped with a motor trip switch designed
to prevent electrical failures. Should the switch operate during use,
just press the reset button followed by the start-up button in order
to restart the machine.
MACHINE SERVICE TYPE
Use the machine only in the manner prescribed. The aim is to avoid
excessive overheating and engine damage.
S6 40% / 2000W = the engine can be operated on a cycle basis
of 10minutes, to the power of 2000W for a period equivalent to
40% (4 minutes) the duration of the cycle followed by a period of
funzionamentoa empty (without cutting ) for a period equivalent to
60% (6 minutes) of the remaining duration of the cycle.
WARNINGS AND ADVICE
!
!
WARNING! Before conducting checks and adjustments, turn the
switch to the OFF “O” and unplug the machine from the electric
power supply.
After having read the previous chapters carefully, apply these tips
scrupulously to obtain maximum performance from your machine.
Proceed calmly. You will only be able to make full use of the machine’s
potential after gaining sufficient experience. Acquaint yourself with
all controls. Run tests without work pieces.
OPERATOR
The normal operator position is in front of the machine, with both
hands pushing the piece towards the blade while exerting slight
pressure on the surface. During the final stage, the operator uses
the piece pusher with one hand only (fig. L).
Warning! Keep your hands and face far from the blade and cutting
area. Serious injury hazard!
WORK PIECE
The shape, size and weight of the piece to be cut must be compatible
with the machine.
Mark the cutting line on the piece with a ruler. Position it on the
machine surface (pos.17), taking care not to touch the blade, and
rest it sideways against the piece guide (pos.19) that you previously
adjusted. The wider side of the piece must rest on the surface; do
not cut pieces with the wider side upright.
Warning! For your safety, it is important that the machine is secured to the
bench or stand.
Pieces of defined dimensions can be assembled on this machine. To
support long pieces a pedestal must be used to be arranged behind
and/or alongside the machine, which prevents the 2 pieces from
tipping over, causing danger for the operator.
Align the line traced previously with the theoretical surface the piece
shall create with its straight motion through the blade.
!
!
WARNING! For your safety, it is important that the piece is
correctly locked. Do not cut circular sections, old or fragile wood,
irregular wood, cracked wood, wood with nails or screws, branches
or trunks. Always carefully inspect the piece.
!
!
WARNING! Always remember that a kickback causes the rejec-
tion of the piece, which is ejected towards the operator.
TOOL
Make sure the blade is integral, without cracks or deformations before
use. Periodically check blade sharpness.
When necessary, replace it following the instructions in the next
chapters.
Warning! Blade efficiency and perfect integrity provide better
results and minimize accident risks.
CHIP AND DUST VACUUM
The machine can be equipped with a manifold for the suction of
sawdust. Please remember that the part of material removed while
cutting will also be thrown around the machine and on the piece.
Connect the manifold to a wood sawdust suction system, using a plastic
flexible tube (both not supplied with the machine); your dealer can suggest
the most suitable choice.
Warning! Do not start the machine if the vacuum tube is not in-
stalled. Do not insert your fingers or tools in the manifold in the
attempt to remove material. Serious injury hazard!
OPERATIONS, CUTTING AND MOVEMENTS
The blade is fixed to the machine, while the piece moves manually in
a straight and parallel line in relation to the blade.
The motor provides power to rotate the tool, using a set of gears.
Observe the following warnings that apply to all types of cuts:
- make sure that levers and screws are tightened to firmly secure
mobile parts
- keep the work piece firmly
- the piece must rest against the surface and the piece guide
- do not cut several pieces simultaneously
- keep a safety distance from the cutting area
- gradually and cautiously near the piece to the blade
- cut in a single stroke
- do not force the piece against the blade so as not to strain the
blade and the engine
- excessive strains cause the blade and/or piece to suddenly break
- do not strain the blade laterally
- the idle blade should not touch the piece
- do not start the machine if the blade is in contact with the piece
- do not start the machine if the higher guard is not covering the
blade
- do not start the machine if the removable guard is not positioned
over the blade underneath the work surface
- to clean the cutting area, use a brush with a long handle
CUTTING ALONG THE AXIS OF THE PIECE
Initial position:
- piece guide installed on the work surface
- if the function for blade height adjustment is fitted, use the handwheel
to ensure that the blade sticks out a couple of millimetres beyond the
thickness of the piece to be cut
- if the function for tilted cuts is fitted, adjust the blade inclination using
the handwheel and then lock it in this position with the lever/handwheel
Cutting:
- press the switch to start the machine
- using both hands, push the piece against the blade (enclosed in
the guard) at a uniform speed and, at the same time, press the piece
onto the work surface and on the piece guide. The part will cause
the guard to lift and to rest onto the piece keeping the blade protected
WARNING! Keep hands away from the cutting area.
