Safety Elements; Unpacking The Machine - Virutex TM33W Manual De Instrucciones

3. SAFETY ELEMENTS

3.1 ON/OFF BUTTON
The machine has a push-button switch located on the
handle and a locking button for work with a raised table.
For parting purposes, press the switch button while activating
lever B1 (Fig. 1) so that when pressure is stopped, the machine
comes to an automatic halt. This safety device eliminates the
need for pressing the switch button continually while the
parting process is in progress, thus facilitating your work.
For cutting with the raised table, lock button E1 (Fig. 8)
and press the stop-start buttons on the switch. The button
will unlock automatically when the machine is set as a
parting tool.
3.2 MECHANICAL PROTECTION
When the saw blade is not in use it is totally covered by
the protectors and the machine is locked in this position.
Lever B1 (Fig. 1) releases the machine before it is lowered.
Ensure that the saw blade is totally covered
by the protectors when not in use. Always
keep the protectors in good condition.
3.3 PROTECTION AGAINST ACCIDENTAL STARTING
RESULTING FROM CUT OFF OF ELECTRICITY
This interrupts the circuit and prevents the machine from
being accidentally switched on when power is restored, even
though the locking switch may still be on.
To restart the machine, press the start switch.
3.4 PROTECTION AGAINST SHORT CIRCUITS
The machine's circuit includes a T1 fuse (Fig. 8) which protects
it from short-circuiting and overloading.
The fuse is located on the machine handle. Should it have
to be replaced, unscrew the lid of the fuse box and remove
the burnt-out fuse. Replace it with another one of the same
type (5x20 10A, type T).

4. UNPACKING THE MACHINE

Contained in the case you will find the following elements:
- Tiltable mitre saw according to model (TM33W-TS33W)
- 8 mm size Allen key
- Wood regulation stop equipment
- Pusher (only TM33W)
- Instruction manual and parts sheets
- General safety instruction leaflet
- Other documentation
5. PREPARING YOUR MACHINE
Ensure that the machine is disconnected from
the mains before carrying out any preparation
or maintenance work on the machine.
5.1 INSTALLATION
Once you have unpacked the machine, fasten its handle to the
swinging arm as shown in the diagram on the attached label.
When using the machine in a fixed location we recommend
that it be secured to a table or workbench at a height of
approximately 90 cm using the holes C located in the base
(Fig. 2). To facilitate your work, we recommend using our
MOVABLE WORKING TABLE MT58K (ref 5800100) (Fig. 29).
The machine is designed exclusively for interior working and
as such should not be exposed to rain or humid environments.
5.2 HANDLE
Place the handle of the machine in working position by
releasing the knob A (Fig. 8). Rotate the handle to the top
position and tighten knob A.
5.3 UNLOCKING THE HEAD
Lightly press the handle in the direction of the cut and
turn the transport locking catch B (Fig. 6) clockwise until
it reaches the stop, then follow the machine as it moves up
to until it is locked in resting position.
5.4 CHECKS
Before connecting to the mains ensure that the protectors
and safety mechanisms on the machine are working correctly
and check that the voltage corresponds to that shown on
the characteristics plate.
If an extension cable is being used check that the cross
section of the wires are suitable for the nominal current
of the machine.
6. ADJUSTING THE MACHINE
Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains before carrying out any
adjustments.
The mitre saw leaves the factory adjusted; however further
adjustments can be made with the mechanisms described
below.
6.1 ADJUSTING THE TILTING HEAD
To adjust the saw blade to 90° with respect to the machine
table, place a square between the two and proceed as follows:
Release the handle D (Fig. 2) and correct any deviation using
screw E. The head can also be adjusted to 45° with respect
to the table by turning screw F (Fig. 2).
6.2 ADJUSTING THE REVOLVING PLATE
The machine is equipped with an automatic lock at 0°, 15°,
22.5°, 30° and 45° so that these positions should only rarely
need adjustment. If this is necessary, lock the machine at 0°
and release screws G which hold in place rule H; move the
rule until it is perpendicular to the saw (Fig. 10).
