Virutex TM43L Mode D'emploi page 10

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 necessary 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 protector.
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 se-
cured 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 connected
to a flexible pipe that can, in turn, be adapted to an
industrial extractor or any centralized extraction system
for collecting the dust and shavings. We recommend it
be connected up to our extractor AS182K (ref. 8200100)
10
and AS282K (ref. 8200200).
For working on a raised table, in addition to making the
previous connection, connect the standard aspiration
connection tube (Ref. 6446073) to the cuff's nozzle A2
(Fig. 11) for perfect expulsion of shavings.
We recommend you keep the machine permanently
connected to a dust and shavings collection system.
10. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

cross-cutting aluminium sections and plastics.

11. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is discon-
nected from the mains supply before
working on it in any way.
11.1 CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
Release knobs L (Fig. 17) and raise the table to its
maximum position. Then remove cover M using screws
N (Fig. 16). Then release screw W in clockwise sense, (Fig.
16 and 17) using one of the service keys and inserting.
The other one into the hole on the transmission cover.
Once the saw blade is released move it upwards and
then remove it down through the side of the head of
the machine, avoiding the protector.
Do the reverse of this operation to insert the new saw
blade, positioning the arrow on the blade in the same
direction as that on the cover.
Check that the seating elements are perfectly clean and
ensuring that the external securing disc fits perfectly
into the recess at the end of the shaft.
- Ensure that the replacement saw blade
is the same diameter as the old saw blade.
- Do not use damaged or deformed saw
blades.
- Select the correct saw blade for the
type of material to be cut.
- Only use the saw blades which comply with
the conditions contained in this manual and
in every case ensure that the body of the
saw blade is thinner than the thickness of
the keel (2.5 mm) and at the same time
the teeth are wider than this thickness.
