Adjusting The Machine; Unpacking The Machine - Virutex TM33W Mode D'emploi

Ensure that the saw blade is totally covered
by the protectors when not in use. Always
keep the protectors in good condition.
The machine's safety devices will automatically switch it off
if the upper guard is removed or improperly placed on the
upper table when used in mitre saw mode. Make sure that
the safety drive pin Z7 (Fig. 31) is entered correctly in its
housing. Similarly, the machine will not start without the
correct placement of the lower cowling when operating in
table saw mode. The cowling safety pin Z6 (Fig. 25) must
be correctly entered in its housing.
3.3 PROTECTION AGAINST ACCIDENTAL STARTING
RESULTING FROM CUT OFF OF ELECTRICITY
This interrupts the circuit and prevents the machine from
being accidentally switched on when power is restored, even
though the locking switch may still be on.
To restart the machine, press the start switch.
3.4 PROTECTION AGAINST SHORT CIRCUITS
The machine's circuit includes a T1 fuse (Fig. 1) which protects
it from short-circuiting and overloading.
The fuse is located on the machine handle. Should it have
to be replaced, unscrew the lid of the fuse box and remove
the burnt-out fuse. Replace it with another one of the same
type (6.3x32 15A).

5. PREPARING YOUR MACHINE
Ensure that the machine is disconnected from
the mains before carrying out any preparation
or maintenance work on the machine.
5.1 INSTALLATION
Once you have unpacked the machine, fasten its handle to the
swinging arm as shown in the diagram on the attached label.
When using the machine in a fixed location we recommend
that it be secured to a table or workbench at a height of
approximately 90 cm using the holes C located in the base
(Fig. 2). To facilitate your work, we recommend using our
MOVABLE WORKING TABLE MT58K (ref 5800100) (Fig. 40).

The machine is designed exclusively for interior working and
as such should not be exposed to rain or humid environments.
5.2 HANDLE
Place the handle of the machine in working position by
releasing the knob A (Fig. 1). Rotate the handle to the top
position and tighten knob A.
5.3 UNLOCKING THE HEAD
Lightly press the handle in the direction of the cut and turn
the transport locking catch M2 (Fig. 6) clockwise until it
reaches the stop, then follow the machine as it moves up
to until it is locked in resting position.
5.4 CHECKS
Before connecting to the mains ensure that the protectors
and safety mechanisms on the machine are working correctly
and check that the voltage corresponds to that shown on
the characteristics plate.
If an extension cable is being used check that the cross
section of the wires are suitable for the nominal current
of the machine.

6. ADJUSTING THE MACHINE

Ensure that the machine is disconnected from
the mains before carrying out any adjustments.
The mitre saw leaves the factory adjusted; however further ad-
justments can be made with the mechanisms described below.
6.1 ADJUSTING THE TILTING HEAD
To adjust the saw blade to 90° with respect to the machine
table, place a square between the two and proceed as follows:
Release the handle D (Fig. 2) and correct any deviation using
screw E. The head can also be adjusted to 45° with respect
to the table by turning screw F (Fig. 2).
6.2 ADJUSTING THE REVOLVING PLATE
The machine is equipped with an automatic lock at 0°, 15°,
22.5°, 30° and 45° so that these positions should only rarely
need adjustment. If this is necessary, lock the machine at 0°
and release screws G which hold in place rule H; move the
rule until it is perpendicular to the saw (Fig. 10).
6.3 ADJUSTING THE MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH
The maximum cutting depth is determined by the adjusting
screw I (Fig. 2). This should be readjusted every time the saw
blade is changed or sharpened.
- Check that the saw is not touching the
bottom of the plate once the maximum
depth has been adjusted.
- Change the cover on the plate when it is
worn or broken.
