INFORMATION ABOUT ELECTROMAGNETIC
COMPATIBILITY
Recent European Safety Standards, in particular Directive
2004/108/EC, establish that all appliances must be equipped
with shielding devices against radio disturbance to and from
the outside environment.
This machine complies with these prescriptions.
Testing was carried out in accordance with Standards EN
55014–1 and EN 55014–2.
1.10 MACHINE DESCRIPTION (Fig. 1)
The mitre–saw machine consists of three basic parts: the
machine body complete with motor 6 which is integrated into
lower part 3 by means of the joint 4 and the swivel support
5, and the upper work unit consisting of the work table 15,
the rest square 17 and the movable blade cover 16.
The base 3 is used as rest when cutting and butting
operations have to be carried out in the different available
angles; the upper table is used as rest when trimming or
sectioning wood tables of huge dimensions and, in particular,
when cutting wood along grain.

INSTALLATION
2.1
REMOVAL OF PACKAGING
Remove the box used to protect the machine during transport
and keep it intact for future transport and/or storage.
2.2
HANDLING
This mitre–saw is small and light and, therefore, can be
easily handled by locking the transportation block by means
of the pin 4 - Fig. 8 and by lifting the machine (Fig. 2).
WARNING: When transporting the machine the
upper part of the blade must be covered.
Always make sure that the blade is protected by
the relative upper guard.
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.
12
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. 4–5)
Place the machine on a work bench or on a suffi ciently fl at
base/pedestal to ensure the best possible stability.
Should you wish to fi x the machine in place, use the special
holes located on the base.
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. 4).
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 suffi cient amount of
space available (see Fig. 5).
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 fi tted 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 specifi cations of the machine stated
on the motor.
WARNING: Before connecting the machine to the
mains, check that the supply voltage is correct in
accordance with the specifi cations indicated in
this manual and on the motor dataplate.
WARNING: Once connected, to avoid any possible
risks of tripping and falling, make sure that the
power supply cable lies completely on the ground
and is not at any point raised in the air.
WARNING: the plug provided is a European 2–pole
C type plug (EEC 7/1/).
