Cutting method

• Square cuts :
Adjusting the cutting height (SEE FIG. 1b)
- Untighten the indexable knob 25 (if this is
blocked by the disc guard, pull it towards you
and turn it)
- Adjust the height of the motor via knob 11.
- Retighten the indexable knob firmly.
Adjusting the height of the movement stop.
- Because of wear on the disc or if the
mechanism has been disturbed, the cutting
height may be too shallow.
- The height can be adjusted by turning screw
26 and its lock nut.
Move the head all along the rail (with the motor
off) to check that the disc does not come into
contact with the cross-pieces on the tables.
Adjusting the cutting guide (SEE FIG. 4)
- Adjust the cutting width via toothed wheel D;
the width is shown by the setting rules E.
Adjusting the extension for wide materials.
- Untighten the toothed wheels 21 (SEE FIG. 1a)
- Pull the extension 20 to adjust it to the
material.
- Retighten the toothed wheels.
Cuts.
- Remove the disk support head towards the
rear.
- Position the material on the table.
- Pull the head towards yourself whilst
gradually forward it without forcing the blade
(avoid sudden contact with the material).
• Bevelled cuts.
Adjusting the extension (SEE FIG. 1a).
- For wide materials, untighten the toothed
wheels 21 and remove the extension 20
completely
- Turn it to move the stop to the upper position
- Re-engage the extension and retighten the
toothed wheels to suit the desired width,
taking care to position the extension
perpendicular to the stop 15.
Tilting
- Loosen the two adjusting flywheels (6) (SEE
FIG. 1a).
- Tip over the cutting head and rail assembly.
- Relock the flywheels.
- Hold the large table 14a on both sides (SEE
FIGS. 4a & 4b).
- Pull the safety latch 27.
- Lift the table from the middle by pushing the
assembly to the blocking point at 22.5°.
26
Always tilt the cutting head before tilting the
tables to avoid the tables colliding with the disc
(SEE FIG. 5b).
Re-levelling:
- Lift the large table from the front (SEE FIG. 5).
- Pull the table assembly until it is level.
- Loosen the knobs 6.
- Return the cutting head to the straight cutting
position.
Take care not to place you hand
between the two tables to avoid
catching your fingers.
Always re-level the tables before moving the
cutting head to avoid the tables colliding with the
disc (SEE FIG. 5c).
Push the rail firmly into the horizontal position
before locking the knobs: the return cylinder can
put this out of position.
10 Adjustments
(SEE FIG. 6).
• No adjustment is necessary. This is carried out in
our workshops.
• However, in the event of knocks, loosening of
bolts, rough handling when pivoting the head:
- adjust screw (E),
- check the squarring (for straight line cuts),
- and lock the lock-nut (adjustment on front and
rear arms).
• To correct the adjustment to 45°, adjust screw
(F) and counter-lock nut.
