Installation And/Or Replacement Of The Blade (Fig. 15-16-17-18); Selection Of The Blade; Dust Exhaustion; (Optional) - Femi D 305 Manual Del Usuario

When using the machine as a CIRCULAR SAW
(thus using the upper table for the machine
operations), such fi tting MUST absolutely be used.
Hold pusher from side A while side B must be put
into contact with the piece to be cut as shown in the
fi gure. The pusher enables to push the workpiece
while keeping your hands away from the blade
cutting area.
- When the motor is off , lower the machine head and block
it by means of the locking pin 16.
- Adjust the height of the upper work surface according to
the cutting height desired and adjust the bearing bracket
as described in the paragraph "ADJUSTMENT OF
UPPER SURFACE'S HEIGTH" and "ADJUSTMENT
OF THE BEARING BRACKET".
- Check that the upper protective cap correctly works:
after lifting it slightly, it must return to its original position,
covering the blade completely.
- Start the motor by pushing the button 2, and lock the
main switch in "ON" position by means of the locking
device 19 located in the lower area of the handgrip.
- Place the workpiece to be cut on the work surface,
placing it laterally against the bracket and then move
the workpiece slowly and gradually towards the blade.
CAUTION: The workpiece must always be held
fi rmly, paying attention not to hold it near the
cutting area.
- To turn off the machine, push the start button 2 of the
main switch, which automatically release the locking
device 19.
INSTALLATION AND/OR REPLACEMENT OF THE
BLADE (Fig. 15-16-17-18)
WARNING!
It is obligatory to use blades as wide as the original
blade in order that the outer fl ange is perfectly
blocked on the axle or the machine when re-
assembling the blade.
This procedure must be carried out only after
having turned off the machine's motor by releasing
the main switch button 2.
Before carrying out any maintenance work, always
disconnect the power cable from the mains.
Never install blades which appear to be cracked.
Raise the upper surface to its maximum height.
Loosen the screw 28 located on the right side of the mitre
saw behind the motor, and turn the moving protection 11 to
completely release the blade.
While the head is in the rest position (raised), lock the outer
fl ange 29 with the wrench "allen" provided, and unbolt the
screw clockwise with the hexagonal spanner.
Remove the blade and replace it with another one, paying
attention that the sense of rotation indicated by the arrow on
the protection device 10 corresponds to the cutting pitch of
the teeth. Before you assemble the blade, thoroughly clean
the support fl anges. Reposition the external fl ange 29 while
making sure that it is perfectly inserted on the shaft, then
tighten the screw. Before re-inserting the screw 28, replace
protective cap 11 so as to completely cover the blade.

SELECTION OF THE BLADE

The mitre-saw is equipped with a WIDIA blade (305 diameter
x 30 bore).
Contact our Authorised Service Centres located nationwide
for blades having diff erent tooth formations.

DUST EXHAUSTION

(OPTIONAL)

The mitre saw can be connected to an aspirator or a
dust collection bag by means of the exhaust manifold 22
(Fig.4).
The aspirator pipe or the bag sleeve must be secured to
the manifold by means of a band. Users are reminded to
empty the bag or aspirator container and to clean the fi lter
regularly.
The air output speed must be equivalent to at least 100
Nm /h.
3
For example, "dustbin" type aspirators are suitable.
The dust of many kind of timbers is dangerous for the human
health of the user, and therefore all possible measures
must be adopted to avoid the environmental dispersal, by
aspirating it during cutting operations.
You can install a dust collection bag on the rear junction by
means of a fastener. An external vacuum device for dust
collection can be connected to the same rear junction.
However, it is recommended to use a respiratory
protection.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Before any adjustment, repair,
maintenance work and before replacing the blade,
switch off the mitre saw and disconnect it from
the power supply by removing the plug from the
socket.
In case you fi nd out any damage to the protection
devices or irregularities while processing or
checking the machine, you must get it repaired
immediately by qualifi ed persons.
Before use check that the protections and safety
devices are perfectly effi cient. After carrying out
the work, make a general cleaning of the mitre saw
by removing dust and chips.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR JETS TO CLEAN THE
MACHINE!
In case of intensive use of the mitre-saw, you should
periodically carry out some tasks:
1- Daily
Vacuum away any sawdust which may have accumulated
inside the machine and clean the motor ventilation slots.
After use, always empty the dust bag and clean it.
Make sure the blade guards always slide smoothly.
Be sure that the saw blade can smoothly slide vertically
and radially.
