block pin 19.
To adjust the height of the upper work surface to obtain
desired cutting widths, follow the instructions below:
–
loosen the two handwheels 32;
–
move the bearing bracket 17 toward the blade;
–
lower or lift the work surface using knob 53,
simultaneously observing the desired cutting height on
the graduated plate 33;
–
tighten the handwheels 32;
3.5
ADJUSTMENT OF BEARING BRACKET (Fig.
8)
JUST FOR CIRCULAR SAW
Loosen the handwheels 37 and slide the bracket 17, aligning
the index 38 on the bearing with its corresponding position
on the graduated scale on the work surface.
This position corresponds to the actual distance of the
bearing bracket rest from the centre line of the blade.
3.6
WEDGE REGULATION
To ensure the dividing wedge is in the correct position,
keep it at a distance of between 3mm - 8mm from the
tooth of the blade. Should this not be the case, loosen the
screw which holds it attached to the arm and move it to the
aforementioned distance (Fig. 17).

USE
After having performed all the above procedures and
operations, you may begin cutting.
ATTENTION: Always keep hands away from the
cutting area and do not try to approach it when
the machine is running.
4.1
USE AS A CUTTING-OFF MACHINE (cutting
on the lower work surface) (Fig.10)
–
Release the head, by unscrew the block pin 19.
–
Raise the machine head as far as possible.
–
Secure the workpiece firmly against the angular bearings
30 of the base with your left hand, thus ensuring
absolute immobility during cutting.
–
Put your right hand on the handgrip 1 and press the
button 9 in order to release the head.
–
Actuate the motor by pressing first the main switch
release device 52 and then the main switch start button
2 on the handgrip.
–
Lower the head and gradually bring the blade into contact
with the workpiece.
–
Complete cutting and raise the head to its original
position.
–
Turn off the motor by release the main switch button 2.

4.2
USE AS A CIRCULAR SAW
(cutting on the upper work surface) (Fig. 11)
ATTENTION: When working on the upper surface,
it is absolutely necessary to install the lower
safety guard supplied.
ATTENTION: The machine is equipped with a
pusher the dimensions and shape of which are
in compliance with the Safety Standards (Fig.
15). When the machine is used as DISK SAW
(thus using the upper table for the machining
operations), such fitting MUST absolutely be used.
Hold pusher from side A while side B, equipped
with different steps to match different thickness
sizes, must be put in contact with the piece to be
cut as shown in the figure. The piece to be cut
can be pushed by means of the pusher which
simultaneously drives and rest it on square C
thus enabling to keep hands away from the blade
cutting area.
–
When the motor is off, lower the machine head and
block it by means of the block pin 19.
–
Adjust the height of the upper work surface according
to the cutting height desired and adjust the bearing
bracket as described in the paragraph "ADJUSTMENTS".
–
Check that the removable upper shield is not faulty:
after having lifted it slightly, it must return to its orginal
position, covering the blade completely.
–
Start the motor as described at point 4.1, and lock the
main switch in "ON" position by means of the locking
device 51 in the lower zone 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
firmly, paying attention not to hold it near the
cutting area.
–
to turn off the machine, push the start button 2 of the
main switch, automatically release the locking device
51.
4.3
INSTALLATION AND/OR REPLACEMENT OF
THE BLADE (Fig. 12)
ATTENTION: This procedure must be carried out
only after having turned off the machine's motor
by by release the main switch button 2.
–
Release the movable shield 11 by pressing the pawl 40
and simultaneously raising the shield so as to uncover
the blade.
–
Raise the upper surface as high as possible.
–
Remove the protection plug of the blade-holding shaft
from the cover of the electronic box.
–
Use the two Allen wrenches supplied: insert the one for
6 mm. socket-head screws in the terminal 41 of the
driving shaft and the one for 8 mm. socket-head screws
in the blade's fixing screw 42; then loosen the screw,
taking in mind that the screw thread is left-handed.
–
Remove the external flange 43, remove the blade by
