The sources of the noise of the saw are: the electric engine
and its ventilation system, the speed reduction device, the
blade and the material to be cut.
We advise you to control the engine, its ventilation system
and the aspiration passages. As far as the saw blade is
concerned, it is preferable to use silenced type of blades
and to keep them in good conditions. We recommend to
use the correct saw blade and to keep fi rmly the workpieces
to be cut.
Noise levels are emission levels and do not necessarily
indicate safe working conditions. Even if there is a
connection between emission levels and exposure levels,
the fi rst ones cannot be used to determine safely if other
precautions are necessary. The factors that can infl uence
the actual exposure level of the operator include the
exposure length, environmental features and other sources
of noise, as for example the number of machines and
operations in the surrounding area. Besides, exposure
levels can change from country to country. However,
these instructions enable the user of the machine to better
evaluate the dangers and risks.

ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING!
Be sure that the mitre saw is switched off and
disconnected from any current source before
any adjustment, maintenance or cleaning work
and before changing the blade.
After carrying out all the adjustments, ensure
that all wrenches and tools are away from the
machine, and that all screws, bolts and other
locking devices are correctly blocked.
Do not use the mitre saw before following these
procedures.
While carrying out these adjustments, check that
all parts of the machine correctly work and are in
good conditions.
Any damage or broken part must be replaced by
a skilled person before use.
ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING ANGLE - HEAD
ROTATION (Fig. 2)
This mitre-saw can cut both to the left and to the right.
The pre-set positions are every 5° both on the left and on
the right.
To place the machine this way, loosen the knob 8, release
the machine head and rotate the swivel support by using the
handgrip 1, then lock it by tightening the knob 8.
The head will automatically stop each time the index 17 is
in alignment with the corresponding position indicated on
the graduated plate.
For all intermediate positions, once the index 17 is aligned
with the position on the plate, block the rotating bearing
using the knob 8.
ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING ANGLE - HEAD
ANGLE (Fig. 4)
The machine head can be tilted to a maximum of 45° to
the left.
Raise the upper surface to its maximum height, release the
handwheel 21 at the rear of the machine and tilt the head
until it comes into contact with the stop at 45°.
Retighten the handwheel 21.
WARNING: Ensure the knob 24 locks the head in
any position throughout every operation.
