1.- FOREWORD
The operator or operators assigned to the machine must have a perfect knowledge of
the position and functions of all controls and of the characteristics of the machine. It is
therefore essential for this manual to be consulted with the greatest attention before
installing, using and servicing the machine.
This instruction manual is intended for all persons assigned to operation of the machine,
and is an integral part of the machine itself. It must be kept in good condition for future
reference.

2.- PERMITED AND PROHIBITED USES OF MACHINE
DM-500 is a machine that is designed for cutting slabs of materials such as marble,
granite, sandstone and brick in general. Cutting on other materials may therefore not
be compatible with the characteristics of the machine, and may have an adverse effect
on its safe use.
WARNING
This machine MUST NOT be used to cut wood, plastics, metal, or similar
materials.
This machine MUST NOT be used for processing materials and workpieces with
weight, shape or dimensions that are not compatible with the structural
characteristics of the machine, thereby creating hazards for its stability.
The machine referred to in this instruction manual is suitable for operations on
slabs with the following dimensions:
Max. length = 125 inch
Max. width = 39 3/8 inch
Max. weight = 350 kg
IMPORTANT! While the maximum length of slabs that can be
processes clearly depends on the length of the machine itself, the width
and height of slabs are parameters that must always be carefully
considered, so as to avoid the hazard of compromising the stability of
the machine, with the consequent risk of malfunctions.
