the energy supply is interrupted and the machine stops
automatically.
By blocking the side button of the switch, we can use
the machine for mitering on the upper table in (TM43L)
models.
For your safety, never use the switch in
the blocked position for mitering work.
3.2 BLADE GUARDS
At rest, the sawblade is completely covered by the guards
and the machine is blocked in this position. Lever A (Fig.
5) unblocks the assembly prior to lowering.
Make sure that the sawblade is completely
covered by the guards when the machine
is at rest. See that these blade guards are
always kept in good condition.
3.3 PROTECTION AGAINST ACCIDENTAL
START-UP DUE TO POWER CUTS
This machine is fitted with a device which, in the case of
a drop in voltage or a power cut, breaks the circuit and
prevents accidental start-up when the current returns,
even if the switch-locking button is actuated.
To restart the machine, unlock the push-button switch
and then just press it normally.
3.4 PROTECTION AGAINST SHORT CIRCUITS
The machine's circuit includes a T1 fuse (Fig. 10), which
protects it from short-circuiting and overloading.
The fuse is located in the junction box. 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 (5 X 20 8 A, type T).
4. UNPACKAGING THE MACHINE
Inside the box you will find the following items:
- Tiltable mitre saw as per model (TM43L or TS48L)
- Set of Allen keys, ccs 8 mm
- Allen key, ccs 5 mm
- Timber stop assy.
- Pushing accessory for cutting on the upper bench
(only TM43L)
- Instructions manual and parts lists
- General safety instructions leaflet
- Leaflets various
For transportation purposes, the machine head is locked
in its lower position. To unpack it, simply take it by the
handle and remove it from thebox.

5. PREPARATION AND SETTING UP
Make sure the appliance is disconnected
from the mains supply before undertaking
any preparation or maintenance work on it.
5.1 INSTALLATION
To use the machine in a fixed place, we suggest bolting
it to a work bench or table about 90 cm high, using
the B holes made in the base (Fig. 7). We recommend
our accessory PORTABLE WORKTABLE MT58K (Ref.
5800100) (Fig. 24)
This machine is designed only for indoor work and must
not therefore be exposed to rain or damp surroundings.
5.2 HANDLE
To situate the handle of the machine in the working posi-
tion, loosen knob C (Fig. 5), swivel the handle round to a
confortable position for mitering and tighten up knob C.
5.3 UNLOCKING THE HEAD
Lightly press the handle in the direction of the cut and
turn the transport locking catch D (Fig. 8) 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 the machine to the mains supply,
make sure the blade guards and safety mechanisms
are in good order.
Also check that the mains voltage and frequency coin-
cide with those indicated on the machine specs. plate.
In the event of using an extension lead, check that the
cross-section of its conductors is appropriate for the
machine's current rating.
6. ADJUSTMENTS
Make sure that the machine is disconnec-
ted from the mains supply before making
any adjustments to it.
The cross-cut saw is set before it leaves the factory.
However, the mechanisms mentioned below serve for
making any adjustments at a later stage.
6.1 ADJUSTMENT OF THE FOLD-DOWN HEAD
To adjust the saw blade to 90° in relation to the machine
table, place a square between them both and proceed
as follows:
Loosen the handle E (Fig. 15) and correct any possible
