1. Referenceto accident - prevention regu-
lations
This machine has been built to comply with the natio-
nal and community accident-prevention regulations in
force. Improper use and/or tampering with the safety
devices will relieve the manufacturer of all responsi-
bility.
1.1 Advice for the operator
• Check that the voltage indicated on the plate, nor-
mally fixed to the machine motor, is the same as the
line voltage.
• Check the efficiency of your electric supply and eart-
hing system; connect the power cable of the machine
to the socket and the earth lead to the earthing sys-
tem.
• When the tool head is in rest position (raised), the
toothed disk must be stationary.
• It is forbidden to work on the machine without its
shields.
• Always disconnect the machine from the power
socket before chaning the disk or carrying out any
maintenance job, even in the case of abnormal
machine operation.
• Always wear suitable eye protection.
• Never put your hands or arms into the cutting area
while the machine is operating.
• Do not shift the machine while it is cutting.
• Do not wear loose clothing with sleeves that are too
long, gloves that are too big, bracelets, chains or any
other object that could get caught in the machine
during operating; tie back long hair.
• Keep the area free of equipment, tools or any other
object.
• Perform only one operation at a time and never have
severeal objects in your hands at the same time.
Keep your hands as clean as possible.
• All inernal and/or internal operations, maintenance
or repairs, must be performed in a well-lit area or
where there is sufficient light from extra sources so
as to avoid the risk of even slight accidents.
1.2 Location of shields against accidental contact
with the tool
• Grey metal shield screwed onto the disk head.
• Self-regulating mobile blue plastic shield, fitted
coaxially with the fixed shield
1.3 Electrical equipment
• The electrical equipment ensures protection against
electric shock as a result of direct or indirect con-
tact. The active parts of this equipment are housed
in a box to which access is limited by screws that
can only be removed with a special tool; the parts
are fed with alternating current at low voltage. The
equipment is protected against splashes of water and
dust.
1.4 Emergencies
• IIn the event of incorrect operation or of danger con-
ditions, the machine may be stopped immediately by
pressing the red mushroom button.
NOTE: Resetting of machine operation after each
emergency stop is achieved be reactivating the spe-
cifec restart button.
2 RECOMMENDATIONS AND
ADVICE FOR USE
2.1 Recommendations and advice for using the
machine
• The machine has been designed to cut metal buil-
ding materials, with different shapes and profiles,
used in workshops, turner’s shops and general
mechanical structural work.

Ordering spare parts
• When ordering spare parts you must state:
MACHINE MODEL
SERIAL NUMBER
PART REFERENCE NUMBER
Without these references WE WILL NOT SUPPLY
the spares. See point 10.1 – list spare parts.
• Only one operator is needed to use the machine.
• To obtain good running-in of the machine is is
advisable to start using it at intervals of about half
an hour. This operation should be repeated two or
three times, after which the machine may be used
continously.
• Before starting each cutting operation, ensure that
the part is firmly gripped in the vice and that the end
is suitably supported.
• Do not use disks of a different size from those stated
in the machine specifications.
• If the disk gets stuck in the cut, release the running
button immediately, swith off the machine, open the
vice slowly, remove the part and chech that the disk
or its teeth are not broken. If they are broken, change
the tool.
