and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
4 INSTALLATION
4.1 PACKING AND UNPACKING
The mitre saw, complete with its accessories and
instructions for use fits inside a package and is locked
in position for transport.
WARNING! During transport the upper of the blade
must be covered by the upper protection or set in its
lowest position.
WARNING! Before using the tool, release the knob A
and the respective self-locking nut (fig.12) previously
locked in position for the transport of the mitre saw
(see also Point 5.2).
4.2 LIFTING
The mitre saw must be lifted using the equipment and
safety measures adequate for the operation. The
mitre saw can be moved manually, provided that at
least 2 people are assigned to the task. Install the
mitre saw on a solid and sufficiently level surface at
the ergonomically correct working height.
WARNING! Never lift the machine up by its protective
casings.
4.3 INSTALLATION
Room conditions, such as temperature, humidity,
illumination, general cleanliness and the correct
position of the mitre saw are all very important for
the safety of the operators and the performance of
the mitre saw itself. Also make sure that the tool is
securely fastened to the work bench.
4.4 ELECTRIC CONNECTION
Before connecting the machine to the power mains,
make sure that the electric system corresponds to the
regulations in force in the nation of use (with the
presence of a ground system, thermal cutout,
overload cutout) and that the voltage and frequency
correspond to the indications provided on Plate A (fig.
1). Before using any extension cables, make sure that
the section of the cable is adequate to its length and
that a grounding connection is provided. Whenever
coiled extension cables are used, make sure that
they are completely uncoiled in order to prevent the
risk of overheating.
WARNING! The starting switch on these tools is
provided with a LOCK in "ON" button that permits
prolonged use (only when the tool is used as a
disk saw, however) without requiring the starting
switch to be pressed constantly. Before plugging
the tool plug into the socket, make sure that the
starting switch is set in the unlocked position.
Whenever the tool will not be used for some time,
always remember to switch it off and leave the
lever in released position.
4.5 WORK PLACE
The tool that you have purchased is a movable power
tool that requires only one operator for use thanks
to its conformation, weight, and handiness. Under
conditions of normal use, the operator standing in
front of the machine has the handgrip in front of him.
5 REGULATION – MITRE SAW SQUARING
The mitre saw is delivered by the Manufacturer
after regulation and squaring performed to standard
parameters.
Squaring can be adjusted whenever required (see
Points 5.4 - 5.7).
WARNING - Always unplug the plug from the socket
before proceeding to any regulation operations on the
mitre saw.
5.1 BLADE UNIT LIFTING
An assembly of internal springs keeps the blade unit
raised in rest position. In this position, a safety catch
prevents the accidental operation of the blade unit.
5.1.1 In order to release the blade unit and permit the
use of the machine as a mitre saw, press the orange
key C on the handgrip (fig. 2) (this operation can be
performed by keeping your right hand steady on the
handgrip).
5.1.2 In order to use the machine as a disk saw,
release the blade unit as shown in 5.1.1, and after
lowering the unit completely, lock it in place with the
pin F (fig. 1). In this position, the oscillation of the blade
unit can be reduced by using the knob A (fig. 12).
Remember to return the knob to its original position
whenever the machine must be used as a mitre saw
(unscrew up to the position defined by the self-locking
nut).
5.2 BLADE PENETRATION DEPTH REGULATION
(fig. 12)
The blade penetration depth has already been set by
the Manufacturer during final testing. Due to the
fact that incorrect regulation prematurely dulls blade
sharpness and/or may break blade teeth, additional
regulation might be required by proceeding as follows:
- Turn the knob A and the respective self-locking
nut in order to set a limit on the descent of the motor
