for any direct and/or indirect damage caused
by incorrect transport or lifting.
The machine must be transported and lifted with

STARTING UP (FIG. A)
!
!
WARNING! The Manufacturer is not liable
for any direct and/or indirect damage caused
by incorrect installation or connections.
!
!
WARNING! Before carrying out the fol-
lowing operations, make sure that the ma-
chine’s plug is disconnected from the mains.
The machine is supplied with some disassem-
bled components and before using it, it must be
cleaned and installed.
When choosing where to put the machine, the
following should be considered:
- that the planned position is not damp and is
protected from atmospheric agents.
- that the area where it will be placed is comple-
tely flat, on a non-slip floor and with appropriate
load capacity.
- that there should be a large operational area
around the machine free from obstacles.
- that the room should be attended and closed
in order to prevent free access.
- that there is good lighting.
- that it needs to be positioned close to the
general differential switch.
- that the power supply system is earthed and
conforms to the standards.
- that the room temperature should be between
10° and 35° C.
- that the work environment is not in an explosive
atmosphere.
Remove the upper part of the packaging and
visually check that the machine and its com-
ponents are perfectly intact. Then remove the
packaging and proceed to carefully clean the
machine in order to remove any protective oils
used for transport.
1) Get a bench (not provided) to rest the machine
on and a series of nuts and bolts (not provided)
for fixing it to the bench.
2) Position the machine and fix it firmly using the
holes present on the base (pos. 2).
3) Proceed to assemble the components as
illustrated in the figure. If in any doubt, please
contact your retailer.
4) At the points marked in Fig. A by the bottle
symbol, lubricate bushings with a few drops
of oil (not supplied); remove any excess oil
with a cloth.
5) Tilt the work surface (pos. 3) to 0° (horizontal).
6) Make sure the blade is correctly positioned and
tensioned (see following chapters).
7) Assemble the cutting area guard (pos. 14)
on the support (pos. 15) using the screw and
nut (pos.25). Do not fully tighten the nut; the
protection must remain free to move.
Make sure that all the parts have been properly
and securely assembled and that the machine
is stable before starting it.
ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. A)
!
!
WARNING! Before conducting checks
and adjustments, turn the switch to OFF “O”
(switched off) and unplug the machine from
the electric power supply. Wear gloves to
protect your hands.
The machine is supplied factory adjusted and
does not require special adjustments; if neces-
sary, perform the following operations.
BLADE TENSION ADJUSTMENT
For best machine performance, check blade
tension.
Excessive tension could break the blade and
excessively wear mobile machine components;
poor tension could bend the blade and it could
slip from the two blade locks.
Rotate the hand wheel to adjust tension (pos. 9):
- clockwise to increase it
- counterclockwise to decrease it.
90° PERPENDICULAR BLADE ADJUSTMENT
(see also Fig. C)
To adjust blade perpendicular to the work
surface, use the hand wheel (pos. 4) to tilt the
work surface (pos. 3) to form a 90° angle; use
a 90° square (not supplied) between the blade
