CHARACTERISTICS
The metal cropper is a modern and compact bench machine
for cutting metal objects. The work surface has an adjustable
vice with a built-in goniometer for cutting pieces of various
dimensions, which can have a slope of up to 45°. The outlet
for a dust suction system guarantees a work area which is
free from harmful and inflammable dust.
The abrasive disc is covered by strong metal sheet protections,
with one mobile articulated protection that progressively
uncovers the cutting area when the tool gets close to the
piece to be cut.

STARTING UP
IMPORTANT! During all the start-up operations, the machine
must remain disconnected from the electric power supply.
Unpack the machine and check that all its parts are intact.
With one hand on the main handle (Fig. A pos. 1) keep the
disc protection casing down whilst turning the knob with the
other (Fig. A pos.14) in order to free the machine and let it go
slowly upwards until it is in its resting position.
Fasten the machine to the bench by bolts (not supplied), the
counter should not be constructed in flammable materials that
could catch fire due to sparks.
INSTALLATION OF THE ABRASIVE DISC (not supplied with
the machine)
IMPORTANT! Always wear protective gloves.
Loosen the screw (Fig. C pos. 1) and turn the cover (Fig.C
pos. 2) so as to uncover the screw (Fig.C pos.3)
Press the plug and keep it held (Fig.A pos.15) in the direction
of the disc so that it stops the rotation of the tool holder shaft,
inserting the stake connected to the lever in one of the two holes
