if applicable), which must be inserted at the bottom on the manifold
as shown in fig.A; after cutting empty the bag.
In order to increase the number of cuts and, most of all, to obtain best
results, 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 installed. Do
not insert your fingers or tools in the manifold in the attempt to remove
material. Serious injury hazard!
OPERATIONS, CUTTING AND MOVEMENTS
The work piece remains still on the machine while the tool moves
manually in relation to the piece to remove material.
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
- the piece in process must be locked well in place
- the piece must rest against the supporting guide (pos. 10)
- do not cut several pieces simultaneously
- firmly grip the hand grip (pos. 3)
- keep a safety distance from the cutting area
- gradually and cautiously move the piece against the blade
- cut in a single stroke
- do not overload the cutting unit 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
- do not executed grooves
- 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 lower guard is not positioned over
the blade (pos. 7)
- do not start the machine if the higher guard is not covering the
blade (pos.15)
- to clean the cutting area, use a brush with a long handle.
The machine can make various types of cuts:
- cross cut
- tilted cut (from 0° to 45°)
- slanted cut (from 0° to +45° and from 0° to -45°)
- tilted/slanted combined cut
CROSS CUT (fig. D)
Initial position:
- set the machine in “cutting off” mode
- the rotary table (pos. 9) is locked at 0° with the screw (pos. 11)
- the cutting head is fixed at 0° by the knob (pos. 23)
Cutting:
- push the piece against the supporting guide (pos.10) and lock it into
place with the vice (pos.14) securely
WarnInG! Keep hands away from the cutting area.
- take hold of the hand grip (pos. 3) with your right hand, press the
switch (pos.1) to start the machine
- unlock the down stop by pressing the button (pos. 4)
- gradually lower the cutting head completely until the piece is cut
- slowly lift the cutting head and, as soon as the blade has left the
piece, release the switch to turn off the machine.
- follow the cutting head until it is in the resting position.
TILTED CUT (fig. E)
WarnInG! this cut requires the blade to be more exposed, incre-
asing the risk of serious injuries: take care of your hands and keep
a safe distance.
Initial position:
- set the machine in “cutting off” mode
- the rotary table (pos. 9) is locked at 0° with the screw (pos. 11)
- the cutting head is blocked by the lever (pos. 23) at an angle between
0° and 45°

Unlock the fixing knob (pos.36) and adjust the position of the
strip of the mobile piece guide (pos.35) so that it is not in the
trajectory of the cutting disk.
Cutting:
- push the piece against the supporting guide (pos.10) and lock it into
place with the vice (pos.14) securely
WarnInG! Keep hands away from the cutting area.
- take hold of the hand grip (pos. 3) with your right hand, press the
switch (pos.1) to start the machine
- unlock the down stop by pressing the button (pos. 4)
- gradually lower the cutting head completely until the piece is cut
- slowly lift the cutting head and, as soon as the blade has left the
piece, release the switch to turn off the machine.
- follow the cutting head until it is in the resting position.
SLANTED CUT (fig. F)
Initial position:
- set the machine in “cutting off” mode
- the rotary table (pos. 9) is locked by the screw (pos. 11) at an angle
between -45° and +45° (in order to simplify the choice the table has
catches at typical angles, however it can be set at any angle)
- the cutting head is fixed at 0° by the lever (pos. 23)
Cutting:
- push the piece against the supporting guide (pos.10) and lock it into
place with the vice (pos.14) securely
WarnInG! Keep hands away from the cutting area.
- take hold of the hand grip (pos. 3) with your right hand, press the
switch (pos.1) to start the machine
- unlock the down stop by pressing the button (pos. 4)
- gradually lower the cutting head completely until the piece is cut
- slowly lift the cutting head and, as soon as the blade has left the
piece, release the switch to turn off the machine.
- follow the cutting head until it is in the resting position.
TILTED/SLANTED COMBINED CUT (fig. G-H)
WarnInG! this cut requires the blade to be more exposed, incre-
asing the risk of serious injuries: take care of your hands and keep
a safe distance.
Initial position:
- set the machine in “cutting off” mode
- the rotary table (pos. 9) is locked by the screw (pos. 11) at an angle
between -45° and +45° (in order to simplify the choice the table has
catches at typical angles, however it can be set at any angle)
- the cutting head is blocked by the lever (pos. 23) at an angle between
0° and 45°.

SAW BENCH MODE
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!
WORKING TABLE
The working table (pos. 17) must be positioned correctly before
starting any operation, for this reason it can be moved upwards or
downwards.
By means of the screw (pos.22) you must block or free the movement
of the work plan. Adjust the height of the work plan according to your
needs. During processing, the screws should be tightened securely.
