Follow the indications reported in the “Operational procedures”
chapter carefully in order to move the surface correctly.
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.
Two pieces of defined dimensions (thickness H, see chap. Technical
Data) can be assembled on this machine. To support long pieces it is
necessary to use a stand to be arranged behind 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 rejection
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 (pos. 26) 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.
For a single cut it is sufficient to assemble the dust/chip bag (pos.30
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 instal-
led. Do not insert your fingers or tools in the manifold in the attempt
to remove material. Serious injury hazard!
PUSH STICK
Before performing the cutting maintain the pusher at hand. If not used,
store it away from moving parts.
KNIFE DIVIDER
It is a comp onente important for safety and must be adjusted with
respect the disc blade (Fig. N). The thickness of the riving knife must
be less than the width of the cut groove and supeiore to the thickness
of the metal disc of the blade.
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 (pos.17) and the piece
guide (pos.19)
- 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 (pos.15)
- do not start the machine if the removable guard is not positioned
over the blade (pos. 16) underneath the working table
- to clean the cutting area, use a brush with a long handle
The machine can make various types of cuts:
- cut along the axis of the piece
- slanted cut
CUT ALONG THE AXIS OF THE PIECE (fig. L)
Initial position:
- set the machine in “saw bench” mode
- the rotary table (pos. 9) is locked at 0° with the screw (pos. 11)
- the cutting head is fixed at 0° by the lever (pos. 23)
- the piece guide (pos. 19) must be installed on the working table as
shown in fig. L.
Cutting:
- press the switch (pos. 2) 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 working table and on the piece guide. The part will cause
the upper guard to lift (pos. 15) and to rest onto the piece keeping
the blade protected
WarnInG! Keep hands away from the cutting area.
- when your hands get closer to the blade, use the piece pusher to
complete the cut
- once you have finished cutting, switch off the machine.
- fix the piece pusher (if any) in its housing.
SLANTED CUT
WarnInG! Carrying out this cut means that the hands are located
in the area adjacent to the cut and the danger of serious injury is
therefore greater: take care of your hands and keep a safe distance.
WarnInG! It is forbidden to carry out this type of cut on long pieces,
such as planks, beams, etc. Only use pieces of a limited length.
Initial position:
- set the machine in “saw bench” mode
- the rotary table (pos. 9) is locked at 0° with the screw (pos. 11)
- the cutting head is fixed at 0° by the lever (pos. 23)
- piece guide (pos.19) installed on the working table parallel to the
blade and adjusted at an angle
Cutting:
- press the switch (pos. 2) to start the machine
- grasp the piece and the piece guide with both hands and push them
forwards, making the piece guide slide along the slot and at the same
time, press the piece onto the working table. The piece will cause
the upper guard to be lifted (pos.15) that will then rest on the piece,
keeping the blade protected.
WarnInG! Keep hands and the piece guide far from the cutting area.
- finish cutting
- turn off the machine.
BLaDe
WarnInG! the cutting part can cause serious injuries – use pro-
tection gloves!
- Use good quality blades with the same characteristics as the ma-
chine based on its technical data – your retailer will be able to help
you make the correct choice. Also observe any instructions provided
with the equipment.
- Do not use blades if you do not know where they are from or without
technical specifications. They must show the nominal dimensions, the
number of teeth, the maximum number of revolutions and the arrow
indicating the rotation direction.
- The number of revolutions and the dimensions are the basic elements
