Warning! For your safety, it is important that
the piece is correctly locked. Do not cut cir-
cular 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 the blade can
suddenly lift the piece and it may slip from
your hands.
BLADE TOOL
Make sure the blade is integral, without cracks
or deformations before use. Periodically check
blade sharpness.
When necessary, replace it following the instruc-
tions in the next chapters.
Warning! Blade efficiency and perfect integrity
provide better results and minimise accident
risks.
CHIP AND DUST BLOWING
The machine is equipped with a device that
blows a small amount of air on the cutting
area. This removes produced dust to promote
precise cuts.
Make sure the rubber tube is connected to
the supply fixture on one side (pos. 8) and to
the distributor on the other (pos. 11) near the
cutting area.
Distributor tilt can be adjusted using a lateral
screw. Be sure not to excessively tighten the
screw so as not to crush the tube.
SAWDUST SUCTION SYSTEM (if applicable)
The machine can be equipped with a manifold
(pos. 16) for the sawdust suction.
Please remember that the part of material remo-
ved while cutting will also be thrown around the
machine and on the piece.
For best results, connect the manifold to a wood
sawdust suction system using the plastic tube
(both not supplied with the machine); your dealer
can suggest the best choice.
Warning! Do not start the machine if the vacuum
hose is not installed. Do not insert your fingers
or tools in the manifold in the attempt to remove
material. Serious injury hazard!
OSCILLATION SPEED ADJUSTMENT (if appli-
cable)
The machine can be equipped with an electronic
regulator (pos. 19) that varies blade oscillation
speed.
OPERATIONS, CUTTING AND MOVEMENTS
The work piece moves on the work surface while
the tool moves vertically with alternating motion
to remove material; the blade only removes
material during the descent phase.
The engine provides power to move the tool
using a piston rod/crank group and pair of arms
connected with a spring.
Observe the following warnings that apply to
all types of cuts:
- make sure that levers, knobs and screws are
tightened to firmly secure mobile parts.
- keep the work piece firmly
- the piece must rest against the work surface
- do not cut several pieces simultaneously
- keep safety distance from the cutting area
- gradually and cautiously near the piece to the
blade
- cut in a single stroke
- do not over load the cutting group 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 guard is not
positioned over the blade
- to clean the cutting area, use a brush with a
long handle
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).
