The operator needs to be informed of the noise levels the ordinary utilization of the machine generates, and of the
factors affecting the exposure to the noise. These factors consist of:
- right tool choice
- right speed choice;
- tool and machine maintenance;
- type of material to be machined;
- importance and utilization of all necessary fences;
- right use of the hearing protectors.

SAFETY WARNINGS
If you do not comply with the safety warnings or use the machine improperly, you are responsible for the
risk of accident for yourselves and for other people.
♦
This machine has been manufactured to be commonly used in a joinery and to guarantee the greatest safety
along with the best performances; nonetheless, the greatest safety depends on you.
♦
Do not forget that the use of any machine-tool involves certain risks.
♦
In case a fire breaks out, do not use water to extinguish the flames; use only powder type fire extinguishers.
♦
Pay the greatest attention before beginning any work.
♦
Work only when guards are correctly positioned and perfectly efficient.
♦
If you stop the machine to adjust or disassemble some of its components, position main switch Q1 onto
position “0”
♦
Stop the machine completely before cleaning it and before removing any guard for servicing through main
switch Q1.
♦
The overall cleaning of the machine, the workbench and the surrounding floor, is greatly responsible for safety.
♦
Since some objects can cause serious accidents, always take off your rings, your watch, your bracelets; button
up your cuffs; take off your tie, which can entangle in the most various places; gather your hair properly; use
accident-preventing shoes, as worldwide recommended.
♦
Always make use of eye protectors.
♦
Never work too long or too short pieces for the machine capacity; only pieces correctly borne and safely driven
by the machine can be worked.
♦
The working cycle has to be started only when the tool holder shaft rotates at its highest speed.
If any drawback occurs, stop the machine immediately. Do not move away chips or splinters while the piece to
be machined is being fed.
♦
Never use cracked and deformed tools.
♦
Never use tools at a higher speed than the values reported on themselves and in the tables applied on the
machine.
♦
Make sure that rotating tools are perfectly balanced, sharpened, keyed and clamped.
♦
Before assembling any tool in its seat or shaft, make sure that the supporting surfaces are clean, perfectly flat
and without any dent.
♦
Never start up the machine before having properly installed all casings on tools, belts, chains, etc.
♦
Clamp to the prescribed couple screws, bolts or ring nuts, having care to respect the ordinary clamping values
and not to use levers or striking on the wrenches.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
♦
The machine connection to the mains has to be done by a skilled technician.
♦
Any operation concerning the electric system is to be done by an electrotechnician.
♦
Any adjusting or equipping operation has to be done when tools are standstill.
♦
To avoid jamming, move the main switch onto “0” and wait until tools come to a complete stop.
♦
Brake motor machines are fitted with a long duration braking device. If braking time is higher than the one
prescribed, for any adjustment see the section about the brake motor.
♦
In order to guarantee a safe and efficient working, use tools appropriate to the material to be machined.
♦
The tool must turn in the right direction of rotation. The operator has to be sure that the machine works in the
desired direction, and that the material is fed in the direction opposite to the shaft rotation.
♦
Provide for a safe control of the piece to be machined (see section EXAMPLES MACHINING TYPES).
♦
Carefully check each wooden piece condition before operating. Pieces can dangerously turn back if they have
knots, splittings or foreign objects, such as rivets.
