7.1 CUTTING AT 0° x 0°
Proceed as shown in (Fig. 9).
7.2 CUTTING AT 0° x 45°
Release the handle E (Fig. 10) and pull down the head
as far as the 45° stop, or to whatever intermediate
angle is required. Tighten up the handle E in the
position selected.
7.3 CUTTING AT 45° x 0°
Press down lever E2 (Fig. 12) and turn the plate
towards the left or right until the index marks 45º or
any of the standard positions (15º, 22º30', 30º, 45º).
Should you wish to make a cut that does not match
any of the plate's standard positions, push down
lever E2 (Fig. 12) and then push it towards trigger
E3 (Fig. 13). This will unlock the plate, enabling you
to regulate the exact angle you require. Then lock
the plate using knobs S (Fig. 10).
7.4 CUTTING AT 45° x 45°
Press down lever E2 (Fig. 12) and turn the table to
the left until it locks into place at 45°, blocking it
there. Release handle E and lower the head as far
as the stop at 45° or whatever intermediate angle
is required, then tighten the handle again (Fig. 10).
The machine also allows the head to be brought
down with the table in any position (only on its
rotation to the left).
Make sure the swivel arm is fixed secu-
rely in position when chamfering.
7.5 CUTTING PARTS IN SERIES
To make multiple cuts the length stop T, (Fig. 7),
must be installed and regulated to the required
measurement.
8. CUTTING ON THE UPPER TABLE.
CONDITIONS OF USE (model TM43L only)
Only wood or plastic may be cut on the
upper table. Do not use this table for
cutting aluminium or sections.
To use the machine in this mode, it is first necessary to
fit the underguard U (Fig. 11) to avoid any accidental
contact with the sawblade underneath the table.
Then block the machine in the transport position
using catch D (Fig. 8), checking that the underguard
is securely in place and immobilized.
Now release knob C and drop the handle to its lower
position (Fig. 5). Loosen knob V (Fig. 18), remove the
upper aluminium section which encloses the blade
guard and use it as a lateral cutting guide, blocking
it at the required distance from the blade (Fig. 19).
This protector has a side slot that includes two nuts
E4 (Fig . 19) designed to lock the wooden fillet that
extends up to the vertical axis of the centre of the
saw blade. Placing this wooden fillet (Fig. 20) is ne-
cessary when making short cuts (dowels or stocks).
This is because in this type of cutting, when the
cut piece is ejected from the centre of the leaf, if it
lacks space in coming out, the turning of the blade,
which could cause the accidental expulsion of the
part, will retain it.
The amount the blade juts out from the table can be
adjusted by loosening knobs L (Fig. 17) and setting
the table at the required cutting height, making sure
that the sawblade projects from the material only
by the height of the sawtooth. Now tighten up the
knobs at the selected height.
When the cutting work on the table is finished, replace
the aluminium section in its guard position before
using the machine for cross-cutting.
Do not use the upper table without
putting the lower protecting cover
in position.
Never work without the upper pro-
tector.
Use push stick E5 supplied with this
machine to feed in the part to the
saw blade (Fig. 14). The machine is
equipped on one of the sides of the
upper table with two fastening supports
with which to attach the E5 thrust rod
during transport.
Use the upper protector of the upper
blade correctly.
Ensure that the tilting arm is well
secured in position when working on
the upper table.
Make sure that the upper table is fixed
securely at the required cutting height.
9. EXTRACTOR OUTLET
This machine is fitted at the rear with an extractor
outlet of 38 mm in diameter, via which it can be
