INSTALLATION
2.1
REMOVAL OF PACKAGING
Remove the box used to protect the machine during
transportion and keep it intact for future transportation and
storage.
2.2
HANDLING
This mitre-saw is small and light and, therefore, can be easily
handled by one person alone by locking the transportation
block by means of the pin 19 and by lifting the machine by
means of the control handgrip 1.
2.3
TRANSPORTATION
To transport the machine, place it in the box it was in when
purchased. Ensure it is placed in the correct position indicated
by the arrows on the packaging.
Pay careful attention to the ideograms printed on the box as
they provide all necessary information for palletization and
stacking of boxes.
Tying the load down with ropes or safety belts is recommended
during transportation to stop the load from sliding or falling.
2.4
POSITION/WORK STATION (Fig. 2-3)
Place the machine on a work bench or on a sufficiently flat
base/ pedestal to ensure the best possible stability. Should
you wish to attach the machine to a workbench, you will need
the relative accessories which must be applied to the support
feet. These are available as an optional.
Bearing in mind ergonomic criteria, the ideal height of the
bench or of the base should be such that the base surface or
the upper work surface is between 90 and 95 cm. from the
ground (see Fig.2).
Always ensure that there is at least 80 cm. of manoeuvring
space in all directions around the machine in order to perform
all necessary cleaning, maintenance and adjustment
operations safely with a sufficient amount of space available
(see Fig. 3).
CAUTION:
Ensure the machine is placed in a suitable position
both in terms of environmental conditions and
lighting. Always bear in mind that general
environmental conditions are of fundamental
importance to prevent accidents.
2.5
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Check that the electrical system to which the machine is
connected is earthed in compliance with current safety
regulations and that the current socket is in perfect condition.
The electrical system must be fitted with a magnetothermal
protective device to safeguard all conductors from short circuits
and overload.
The selection of this device should be in line with the following
electrical specifications of the machin:
NOTE:
Your mitre-saw's electrical system is equipped with
an undervoltage relay which automatically opens
the circuit when the voltage falls below a minimum
pre-established limit and which prevents the self-
reset of machine functions when voltage returns
to normal levels.
If the machine stops involutarily, do not be allarmed.
Make sure that there has not been a voltage failure
in the electrical system.

3.1
This mitre-saw can cut both to the left and to the right.
The pre-set positions are: 15° - 22°30' - 30° - 45° and 50°.
To position the machine as above, loosen the handwheel 23,
release the machine head by pushing the lever 24 downwards
and rotate the rotary support by using the handgrip 1.
The head will automatically stop each time the index 25 is in
alignment with the corresponding position indicated on the
graduated plate.
For all intermediate positions, once the the index is in
alignment with the position on the plate, block the rotating
bearing by means of the handwheel 23.
3.2
The machine head can be tilted to a maximum of 45° to the left.
Release the knob 26 at the rear of the machine and tilt the
head until it comes into contact with the clamp at 45° (calibrated
upon inspection).
For all other intermediate positions, align index 27 on the rear
of the head with the corresponding position marked on the
graduated scale 28 of the swivel joint.
3.3
To cut work pieces of the same length, use the bar clamp
supplied in order to avoid repeating the same measuring
procedure more than once.
Screw the bar 29 into the hole in the base and block it with the
dowel 30: loosen the handwheel 31 and position the clamp
32 at the appropriate distance from the blade; then tighten the
handwheel 31.
3.4
JUST FOR CIRCULAR SAW
To install the safety guard with the head uplifted, place it on
the angular bearings 33 of the base. Then lower the head
and block the body in this position by means of the block pin
19.
To adjust the height of the upper work surface to obtain
desired cutting widths, follow the instructions below:

ADJUSTING
HAZARD:
All the adjustment procedures illustrated below
must be performed when the machine's engine is
off.
ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING ANGLE-HEAD
ROTATION (Fig. 4)
ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING ANGLE - HEAD ANGLE
(Fig. 5)
HAZARD:
Before tilting the head be sure to remove the
supplementary support base from the support
base.
ADJUSTMENT/INSTALLATION OF BAR CLAMP (Fig.
6)
ADJUSTMENT HEIGHT OF UPPER WORK SURFACE
(Fi.g 7)
HAZARD:
When working on the upper surface, it is absolutely
necessary to remove the supplementary support
base and to install the lower safety guard supplied.
loosen the handwheel 34;
move the bearing bracket 17 toward the blade;
lower or lift the work surface using knob 37,
simultaneously observing the desired cutting height on
the graduated plate 35;
tighten the handwheel 34;
