SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING USE

Accident prevention warnings:
- It is absolutely forbidden to remove any off-cuts or other parts of the workpiece from
the cutting area when the machine is running and the cutting head is in the operating
position.
- Always keep hands away from the operating area when the blade is in motion; before
performing any operation release the run button and wait for the blade to come to a complete
standstill.
- Before starting the machine always check that all the safety guards are correctly installed
and suitably protect the blade.
- When operating in mitre saw mode, the upper part of the blade must always be covered.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS PROTECTED BY THE SPECIAL TOP
GUARD.
- When cutting very large pieces always use suitable side supports.
Precautions for use:
- Never needlessly force the machine: excessive cutting pressure may lead to rapid
deterioration of the blade or a decrease in machine performance in terms of fi nish and
cutting precision.
- When cutting aluminium or plastic materials it is advisable to use special clamps: the pieces
being cut must always be held fi rmly in the clamp.
- Faulty switches must be replaced at an authorized after sales service centre.
- Only use the tools recommended in this manual.
- Check that the wrenches used for maintenance and adjustment operations have been
removed from the machine before starting it.
- Make sure that the speed indicated on the blade is at least equal to the speed indicated on
the machine.
- Replace the cover of the swivel support when it shows signs of wear.
- Use only the machine's original blocking system.
- Replace any damaged parts.
