table
Warning!
Before carrying out any operation on the upper cutting table
it is mandatory to prepare the machine suitably. For this
purpose, the stationary safety guard is to be installed on the
lower table.
WARNING
IF THE GUARD IS NOT INSTALLED ON THE LOWER
TABLE (2) IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT ENGAGES THE
LOWER SAFETY LOCKING SYSTEM (19), THE MACHINE
WILL NOT FUNCTION ON THE UPPER TABLE.
Installing the static safety guard on the lower
cutting table
1
Start with the head in the up position and the power cable
unplugged.
2
2. Insert the safety guard guide (2), making sure that it is
securely set in place.
3
3. Gently lower the head by pressing the button (3) and
lock it with the pin (5).
4
Verify that the screw located on the safety guard (2)
engages the safety button for the upper table (19).
5
Verify that the blade rotates freely.
6
Lastly, start the machine briefly at idle speed and make
sure that the cutting blade does not rub against anything.
The machine cannot operate as a cutting table if the lower
guard (2) is not fully in place and engaging the lower locking
system (19). The lower locking button (19) disables the tool's
grip switch (15) and enables the on/off interlock switch (16).
Look at the detailed photo on page 6 for an example.
Setting the height of the upper cutting table
Warning!
The height of the upper cutting table in respect of the cutting
disk must be such that the disk protrudes from the workpiece
only by a height equal to that of the saw tooth.
1
If tight, loosen the height adjustment knob (4B) on the
upper table.
2
Adjust the height of the table by turning the screw (4A).
As you turn the screw clockwise or counter-clockwise,
you will notice that the table rises or lowers respectively.
3
Firmly tighten the knob (4B).

SPECIAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12.
Safety Precautions
- Do not use saw blades that are damaged or deformed.
- Do not use the saw without guards in position, especially
after a mode change, and keep guards in good working
ENGLISH

properly maintained.
- Replace the block of the table when worn.
- Only use blades recommended by the manufacturer saw,
with a warning that the keel should not be thicker than the
width of the groove of the cut made by the saw blade and
not thinner than the body of the blade; Specific saw blades
for cutting wood must comply with EN 847-1.
- Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
- Connect the saw to a dust collection system when sawing
wood.
- Always store the push stick in place when not in use
Description of risks specifically related to the
machine
Any of the following prior risk conditions must have existed for
the risks to become real:
1
The operator has not been suitably trained.
2
The mitre saw has not been installed suitably.
3
The mitre saw has not been maintained correctly.
4
The mitre saw has been disassembled and then been
assembled incorrectly.
5
The mitre saw has been disassembled and assembled
with parts lacking.
6
Operator does not use the protection as indicated.
7
Operator grasps the workpiece with his/her hand.
8
Operator exposes his/her hands, body or garment to the
cutting path.
The two main classes of risks entailed by the use of this
machine are contacts with the cutting disk and projections of
particles or cut pieces.
MEASURE FOR PREVENTING MACHINE-SPECIFIC
13.
RISKS
1. Preventing contacts with the cutting disk
1.1 Prevention during the development of the cutting
operation
1
The operator must mandatorily be sufficiently trained
and instructed, and know the present manual in such a
manner that he/she is able to know if a machine or his/
her working environment are suspicious of not providing
a perfect service.
Do not use the machine under these circumstances!
2
Revise any lack of guards or any other component of the
machine. Never use a machine that is not complete, not
in a perfect condition and not correctly installed. If the
machine has been manipulated, lacks pieces or is in a
bad condition, disconnect it, remove it from the working
area, do not use it and send it to the technical service.
3
Never put your hands or any other part of the body nor
garment upon or below the cutting area of the disk or
within the cutting path of the disk.
4
Fastening the workpiece to be cut shall not be carried
out manually but with the assistance of pushers, wedgers
and clamps warranting a firm fastening of the workpiece
to be cut under any circumstances (appearance of nods,
etc.). By putting this preventive measure into practice the
risk of contact with the disks during the development of
the operation is practically excluded as it allows hands to
remain distanced from the hazardous area.
5
Always disconnect the machine when leaving it alone.
6
The presence of one or more assistants will be required
for cutting workpieces being longer than 1.5 m.
1.2 Preventing fortuitous contacts with the disk rotating
without load in the resting position
Independently from that the disk, when resting, stays
protected by the safety guards as installed, it is categorically
advised against using the locking switch so as to guarantee
that disk does not rotate without load in the resting position
thereof
