and perpendicular sides. The blade is fixed while the piece moves in a straight motion.
CUttInG HeaD
Unit consisting of the engine, cutting blade, hand grip, switch and fixed / mobile guards,
which moves in relation to the piece.
SWItCH
If activated, this part switches the machine on and off.
BLaDe Or tOOL
Circular tool designed to remove material from the piece.
KICKBaCK
Cutting off machine: sudden upward movement of the cutting head during the truncation
stage, caused by the blade’s contact with hard parts such as nails, screws, wood knots
etc. The piece may be ejected in the direction of the operator.
Saw bench: sudden movement of the piece towards the operator while cutting, caused
by the blade’s contact with hard parts such as nails, screws, wood knots etc.

!
WarnInG! the manufacturer is not liable for any direct and/or indirect damage
caused by incorrect transport or lifting.
The machine must be transported and lifted with caution to avoid accidents and damage.
1) Position the machine in saw bench mode (see following chapters).
2) Ensure that the blade is fully protected and that the electrical plug is unplugged.
3)Lift the machine with extreme caution, holding it with both hands under the base and
moving it slowly, without jerky or sudden movements.
Do not attempt to move the machine by pulling it by the power cable or by holding
other machine parts.i.
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 following operations, make sure that the machi-
ne’s plug is disconnected from the mains.
The machine is supplied with some disassembled 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 the elements.
- that the area where it will be placed is completely flat, on a non-slip floor and with
appropriate load capacity.
- that there is a large operational area around the machine, which is 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
components 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) Proceed to assemble the components as illustrated in the figure. If in any doubt,
please contact your retailer. Some components only need to be assembled if they
are required for the process that you wish to carry out.
3)
assemble the two supports at the rear (pos. 26), base caps and position the
machine and fix it firmly using the holes present on the base.
4) Assemble the two side supports (pos. 13) and the piece guide (pos. 19), which
must be used exclusively for the saw bench.
5) Mount the vice (pos.32) to be used only in cutting mode.
6) Fix the cutting head using the lever (pos. 22) situated at the base of the rear side.
7) Insert the intake manifold (pos. 24) into the rear hole of the frame, pressing strongly
until it is completely coupled.
8) Make sure the blade (pos. 6) is correctly positioned and can rotate freely (for as-
sembling instructions see following chapters).
9) Make sure that the lower blade’s guide (pos. 7) functions correctly in cutting off
mode: when lowering and lifting the cutting head the guard automatically uncovers or
encases the blade. In case of failure of the mechanism, do not start up the machine
but contact an authorised service centre.
10) Remove the piece pusher (pos.29) from its support at the base (pos. 8) and rest
it on the side of the machine.
11) Make sure that the removable guard is in place (pos.16). Without it, it is not possible
to move the machine into “saw bench” mode.
Make sure that all the parts have been properly and securely assembled and that the
machine is stable before starting it.
OPeratInG MODe (FIG. a)
WarnInG! Before any operational change, turn the switch to the OFF “O”, unplug the
machine from the electric power supply and wait for the machine to stop completely.
SaW BenCH MODe
The machine is provided in saw bench mode, in order to use it this way assemble the
piece guide (pos. 19) in the slot situated on the work surface.
CUttInG OFF MaCHIne MODe
Disassemble the piece guide (pos.19).
In order to move from the saw bench mode to the cutting off machine mode and vice
versa, read the following instructions carefully.
Warning! Breakages and/or damages due to incorrect operation are not covered by
the warranty.
FrOM SaW BenCH MODe tO CUttInG OFF MaCHIne MODe
1. Loosen the wheel by turning it once only.
2. Lift the work surface to the highest level and firmly lock it by fixing the wheel. Make
sure the blade is fully protected and does not protrude above the work surface.
3. Push down the work head and pull the locking knob outwards as much as possible.
4. Gradually release the head, which will move upwards.
5. Take off the blade removable guard. Place it in a safe place so that it can be used
again when required
FrOM CUttInG OFF MaCHIne MODe tO SaW BenCH MODe
1. Insert the blade guard by resting it on the work surface and ensuring that it is po-
sitioned correctly. The guard enables the entire closing mechanism. The machine
shuts down only if it is positioned correctly.
2. Loosen the wheel by turning it once only. Lift the work surface to the highest level
and firmly lock it by fixing the wheel.
3. Press the motion release button and lower the head at the lowest position
4. While pressing the head, push the locking knob inwards ensuring that the head is
fixed appropriately.

aDJUStMentS
WarnInG! Before conducting checks and adjustments, turn the switch to the OFF
“O” and unplug the machine from the electric power supply.
The machine is supplied factory adjusted and does not require special adjustments; if
necessary, perform the following operations.
ADJUSTMENT OF DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BLADE AND THE DIVIDER KNIFE (Fig. N)
The distance between the blade teeth (pos.6) and the dividing knife (pos. 25) must be
understood as illustrated in fig. N.
In saw bench mode loosen the screw (pos. 14) and lift the work surface (pos. 17),
slightly loosen both screws (pos. 27) on the left side underneath the work surface (2
holes can be seen on the casing), lower the work surface, lift the guard (pos. 15) by
maintaining the divider knife into position, adjust the distance and tighten both screws.
90° PERPENDICULAR BLADE ADJUSTMENT (fig. P)
To adjust the blade perpendicularity in relation to the rotary table, adjust the screw (pos.
30) to regulate the stroke height with respect to the cutting head arm; use a 90° square
(not supplied) between the blade and surface.
45° BLADE INCLINATION ADJUSTMENT (fig. Q)
To adjust the blade inclination at 45° in relation to the rotary table, adjust the screw (pos.
31) to regulate the stroke height with respect to the cutting head arm; use a goniometer
(not supplied) between the blade and surface.
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 the system, make sure that nobody ap-
proaches the machine. Keep safety distance from all moving parts and from the
cutting area.
WarnInG! the engine, 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.
The machine is equipped with two switches, one to activate the cutting off mode and
the other to activate the saw bench mode.
