If you notice any working defects, switch off the machine and consult the chapter
“Troubleshooting and authorized measures”.
STOPPING THE SAW BENCH
To stop the machine, press the OFF “O” switch (pos. 2).
When not using the machine, turn it off and disconnect the plug from the socket.
Motor protection (where fitted)
The machine can be equipped with a motor trip switch (pos.5), designed to prevent
electrical failures. Should the switch operate during use, just press the reset button
followed by the start-up button in order to restart the machine.
WarnInGS anD aDvICe
WarnInG! Before conducting checks and adjustments, turn the switch to the OFF
“O” and unplug the machine from the electric power supply.
After having read the previous chapters carefully, apply these tips scrupulously to obtain
maximum performance from your machine. Proceed with calm. You will only be able
to make full use of the machine’s potential after gaining sufficient experience. Acquaint
yourself with all controls. Run tests without work pieces.
CUttInG OFF MaCHIne MODe
OPERATOR
The normal operator position is the one in front of the machine, with the right hand
on the hand grip and using the left hand to hold the piece into position; cutting is only
possible from this position.
Warning! Keep your hands and face far from the blade and cutting area. Serious
injury hazard!
WORK SURFACE
The work surface (pos.17) must be positioned correctly before starting any operation,
for this reason it can be moved upwards or downwards:
- to the highest position in cutting off mode
- to the lowest position in saw bench mode
It is forbidden to position the work surface at an intermediate height.
Stop or allow the movement of the work surface by using the screw (pos.14), during
operations the screw should be well tightened.
Follow the indications reported in the “Operational procedures” chapter carefully
in order to handle the surface correctly.
WORK PIECE
The shape, size and weight of the piece to be cut must be compatible with the machine.
Trace the cutting line on the piece with a ruler; place the piece on machine’s base
(pos. 8-9), being careful not to touch the blade and rest it against the supporting guide
appropriately (pos. 10). The wider side of the piece must rest on the base; do not cut
pieces with the wider side upright.
Align the line traced previously with the theoretical surface the blade shall create with
its downwards movement.
Specifically sized pieces can be used on this machine (thickness H and depth P, see
Technical Data), depending on the type of cut. In order to support long pieces, you
must be equipped with a couple of pedestals to arrange on the right and left sides of
the machine. These will prevent the 2 pieces from tipping over, which would pose an
hazard to the operator.
The vice (pos. 32) is essential for locking the piece in place: Screw the screw onto
the piece.
WarnInG! For your safety, it is important that the machine is secured to the bench
or stand.
WarnInG! For your safety, it is important that the piece is correctly locked. Do not
cut short pieces. 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 can suddenly lift the cutting head and
that you may lose hold of the hand grip.
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. 24) for the suction of chips/
sawdust. Please remember that the part of material removed while cutting will also be
thrown around the machine and on the piece. Connect the manifold to a wood chip/
dust vacuum using a flexible plastic hose (neither supplied with the machine); your
local dealer can recommend the best product.
Warning! Do not start the machine if the vacuum tube is not installed. Do not insert
your fingers or tools in the manifold in the attempt to remove material. Serious
injury hazard!
OPERATIONS, CUTTING AND MOVEMENTS
The work piece remains still on the machine while the tool moves manually in relation
to the piece to remove material.
The engine 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 supporting guide (pos. 10)
- do not cut several pieces simultaneously
- firmly grip the hand grip (pos. 3)
- keep safety distance from the cutting area
- gradually and cautiously move the piece against the blade
- cut in a single stroke
- do not over load the cutting group 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 lower guard is not positioned over the blade (pos. 7)
- do not start the machine if the upper guard is not positioned over the blade (pos.
15) on the work surface
- to clean the cutting area, use a brush with a long handle.
The machine can make various types of cuts:
- cross cut
- tilted cut (from 0° to 45°)
- slanted cut (from 0° to +47° and from 0° to -47°)
- tilted/slanted combined cut
CROSS CUT (fig. D)
Initial position:
- set the machine in “cutting off” 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. 22)
Cutting:
- using your left hand firmly push the piece against the supporting guide
WarnInG! Keep the hand away from the cutting area.
- take hold of the hand grip (pos. 3) with your right hand, press the switch (pos.1) to
start the machine
- unlock the down stop by pressing the button (pos. 4)
- gradually lower the cutting head completely until the piece is cut
- slowly lift the cutting head and, as soon as the blade has left the piece, release the
switch to turn off the machine.
- follow the cutting head until it is in the resting position.
TILTED CUT (fig. E)
WarnInG! this cut requires the blade to be more exposed, increasing the risk of
serious injuries: take care of your hands and keep a safe distance.
Initial position:
- set the machine in “cutting off” mode
- the rotary table (pos. 9) is locked at 0° with the screw (pos. 11)
- the cutting head is blocked by the lever (pos. 22) at an angle between 0° and 45°
Cutting:
- using your left hand firmly push the piece against the supporting guide
WarnInG! Keep the hand away from the cutting area.
- take hold of the hand grip (pos. 3) with your right hand, press the switch (pos.1) to
start the machine
- unlock the down stop by pressing the button (pos. 4)
- gradually lower the cutting head completely until the piece is cut
- slowly lift the cutting head and, as soon as the blade has left the piece, release the
switch to turn off the machine.
- follow the cutting head until it is in the resting position.
SLANTED CUT (fig. F)
Initial position:
- set the machine in “cutting off” mode
- the rotary table (pos. 9) is locked by the screw (pos. 11) at an angle between -47°
and +47° (in order to simplify the choice the table has catches at typical angles,
however it can be set at any angle)
- the cutting head is fixed at 0° by the lever (pos. 22)
Cutting:
- using your left hand firmly push the piece against the supporting guide (pos.10)
WarnInG! Keep the hand away from the cutting area.
- take hold of the hand grip (pos. 3) with your right hand, press the switch (pos.1) to
start the machine

- gradually lower the cutting head completely until the piece is cut
- slowly lift the cutting head and, as soon as the blade has left the piece, release the
switch to turn off the machine.
- follow the cutting head until it is in the resting position.
TILTED/SLANTED COMBINED CUT (fig. G)

serious injuries: take care of your hands and keep a safe distance.
Initial position:
- set the machine in “cutting off” mode
- the rotary table (pos. 9) is locked by the screw (pos. 11) at an angle between -47°
and +47° (in order to simplify the choice the table has catches at typical angles,
however it can be set at any angle)
