support and prevent the blade from coming into
contact with the turntable.
WARNING! After this operation has been comp-leted,
make sure that the blade has not come into contact
with the turntable and that the self-locking nut is
tightly screwed down.
5.3 REGULATION OF THE SPLITTING WEDGE
(fig. 13)
WARNING! The splitting wedge must never be
thicker than the width blade cutting width and never
thinner than the blade body.
When using the upper table, the splitting wedge
prevents the stopping of the blade caused by the
excessive pressure of the surfaces during cutting.
Whenever such regulation is necessary, proceed as
follows:
- Remove the upper protective casing over the
blade unit.
- Remove the upper table.
- Using a 10 mm Allen wrench, unscrew the
hexagonal head screw A (fig.13).
- Adjust the splitting wedge until it stands approx. 5
mm `from the blade and 5 mm lower than the blade.
- Tighten all the screws again and lower the
protective casing.

REGULATION
COMPARED TO THE WORK SURFACE
90° regulation
- Lower the head of the machine and lock it in place
using the corresponding pin F (fig. 1).
- Position the square A as shown in figure 14-b and
adjust the squaring using the dowel C (fig. 12).
5.5 REGULATION OF THE TURNTABLE (fig. 14)
0° regulation
- Lower the head of the machine and lock it in place
using the corresponding pin F (fig. 1).
- Position the turntable on "0".
- Unscrew the support screws.
- Position the square A between the blade and
support
as shown in the figure.
- Keeping the turntable positioned on "0", adjust the
support using the corresponding dowels C until a
reading of 90° is shown on the square.
- Tighten all the support screws unscrewed
previously.

REGULATION
STROKE END (0° - 45°) (fig. 15)
- Lower the head of the machine and lock it in place
using the corresponding pin F (fig.1)
- Position the turntable on "0" and lock it in place;
remove the stroke end raised section G (fig. 1)
(when present).
- Position the head of the machine at 45° by
unscrewing the knob E (fig. 11) and then position
the square A as shown in figure 15.
- Regulate to 45° using the dowel B.

6 OPERATION AND USE
6.1 CUTTING SPEED
The type of material and types of cut possible with
the series of mitre saws is vast indeed. The operator
must select the blade to use on the basis of the
material, the cutting speed, and advance of the blade.
Reference to the values above are provided in the
table.
6.2 CUTTING WITH THE BLADE AT 90° AND
TURNTABLE ROTATED (fig. 4)
(RI and NTF305 version)
- Release the turntable H (fig. 1) by keeping the lever
N (fig. 1) pressed down – Rotate the turntable and
select the desired cutting angle using the graduated
scale and then release the lever B. Note: pre-fixed
cutting angles are available (0° ±15° ±22°30' ±30°
±45°) at which the turntable can be locked. We
recommend locking the turntable into position with
the use of the locking knob L (fig. 1).
(RP version)
UNIT
- Release the turntable H (fig. 1) using the locking
knob L - Rotate the turntable and select the desired
cutting angle using the graduated scale.
Note: thanks to the "CLIC-CLAC" function, the
turntable automatically locks itself into place at
various pre-fixed cutting angles (0° ±15° ±22°30'
±30° ±45°). After locking into position, the application
of a slight pressure is sufficient to rotate the turntable.
Lock the turntable into place using the locking knob L
(fig. 1) prior to cutting.
6.3 CUTTING WITH THE BLADE INCLINED AND
THE TURNTABLE POSITIONED AT 0° (fig. 5)
WARNING! Remove the support stroke-end raised
section G (fig. 1) (when present) before proceeding
to the operation below.
- Release the blade unit by unscrewing the knob
E (fig. 11) – Rotate the blade unit and select the
desired cutting angle using the graduated scale,
and then lock into the knob E into position again.
WARNING! Make sure that the support has been
securely fastened with the use of the knob E (fig. 11)
when making inclined cuts (fig.5-6).
6.4 USE AS MITRE SAW
WARNING! - Make sure that the switch key B (fig. 2)
is in the release position (protruding).
- Bring the upper table to its maximum permissible
height and make sure that the blade is completely
protected by the upper casing – Fasten the material
to be cut securely to the cutting surface.
WARNING! Make sure that the blade is completely
protected by the upper casing.
WARNING - The use of the clamp is absolutely
required whenever aluminium sections must be cut.
WARNING - Excessive pressure on the handgrip
