6.4 CHANGING THE DIVIDER KNIFE
The machine is equipped with two types of divider knife,
the main one supporting the upper table guard and the
antikickback or ratchet and a low profile divider knife for
cutting grooves or recesses to be used on an occasional
basis (Fig. 27 and 28).
After cutting a groove or recess, replace the
main divider knife on the machine table.
Use the service key Z2 (Fig. 26) to change the divider knife by
inserting it through the guide holes in the side guard, then
loosen the screws holding the divider knife and remove it
by sliding it upward. Next, place the second divider knife by
sliding it through the machine's centering guide Z3 (Fig. 30)
and tighten the two screws, making sure it is perfectly placed.
6.5 ADJUSTING THE MAXIMUM RAISED POSITION
To adjust the maximum raised position turn screw Y (Fig. 2)
remembering that the machine locks into resting position.
6.6 LASER GUIDE
The machine is fitted with a laser guide that works in
conjunction with the saw blade, projecting a light beam
onto the material to be cut, indicating the line for the saw
blade with great precision. Match the light beam up with
the line previously drawn for cutting.
The laser guide has an inertia switch, so it is only activated
when the saw blade is turning.
The laser guide also includes an On/off switch
T1 (Fig. 22) to activate or deactivate it. The
switch must be turned to 'Off' for cutting
on the upper table.
The electric tool is supplied as standard with a warning sign
in Spanish R (Fig. 18).
Before starting for the first time, stick the attached label
written in your language over the warning sign.
6.7 SPEED ADJUSTMENT 1,800-3,150 rpm
The electronic speed control allows to adjust the motor speed
depending the cutting dimension and the hardness of the
material to achieve a better finishing and to increase the
machine's performance. The electronic torque control assures
a constant speed even under load. To increase or decrease
the speed just turn the adjusting button R1 (Fig. 6) to the
right or to the left depending the work to be done. There
are 6 reference numbers to facilitate the speed adjustment.
In the diagram below are indicated the different possitions
of the electronic speed adjustment. It is also possible to
check the same diagram on the machine.

To adjust the speed take into account the recommendations
of the saw blade manufacturer. It is not necessary to switch
off the machine to adjust the speed.
6.8 PLACEMENT OF THE ANTIKICKBACK
The machine is equipped with a antikickback or ratchet
that prevents the cut piece from being expelled toward
the operator in operations with the upper table. To place
the antikickback, support the spring bridge Z4 (Fig. 34) on
the dividing knife and then enter the mechanism through
the centering groove, tightening the entire assembly using
the knob Z5
7. APPLICATIONS OF MITERING, INTENDED CON-
DITIONS OF USE
This machine enables you to cut pieces of wood, plastic and
aluminium angles efficiently and precisely.
The rule on the machine is grooved which allows you to
quickly position a wood R2 support to prevent any splinte-
ring of the material being cut (Fig. 18). Use of the knobs is
strongly recommended when cutting fragile or thin materials.
It is essential to use clamps (see section
10) for cutting aluminium angles, plastic
or long pieces (Fig. 20).
Do not start any cut until the blade has reached its full
speed of rotation.
7.1 CUTTING AT 0° x 0°
Continue as shown in (Fig. 18), making the cut with the
assistance of the laser guide. The wood support stop is fitted
with a millimeter ruler S1 (Fig. 19) to facilitate the cutting
operation. The ruler marks the excess length to be cut.
7.2 CUTTING AT 0° x 45°
Release handle D (Fig. 2), lower the head to the 45° stop
or any other intermediate angle as required, using the
angle indicator Z1 (Fig. 15); and tighten handle D in the
selected position.
7.3 CUTTING AT 45° x 0°
Press down lever E2 (Fig. 5) and turn the plate towards the
