7. Recommendations and advice

7.1 General advice before using the machine
This machine is designed to cut metal construction
materials of different shapes and profiles. The materials
may be required for fabrication workshops, machinist
shops, and general construction work.
Limit the machines use to a single operator.
To obtain good running-in of the machine it is advisable
to start using it at intervals of about half an hour. This
operation should be repeated two or three times, after
which the machine may be used continuously.
Always check that the workpiece is securely clamped and
that long pieces are suitably supported.
Do not use a disk size that is outside the limits of the
machine specifications.
Immediately release the start/run/trigger button if the disk
should get stuck in a cut. Switch off the machine before
raising the machine head. Then open the vise and
remove the workpiece. Lastly, check the disk teeth for
any damage. If any of the teeth are broken, replace the
saw blade.
Before carrying out any repairs of the machine, consult a
technician.
7.2 Operator position
The operator should stand in front of the machine using a
single hand to grip the control handle.
7.3 Deactivating the machine
If the machine is to be inactive for a long period, prepare the
machine as follows:
Detach the plug from the electric supply panel.
Release the head return spring.
Empty the coolant tank.
Carefully clean and grease the machine.
If necessary, cover the machine.
7.4 Dismantling
General rules
Before disposing of the machine, the machine should be
broken down and separated into the 3 categories as follows:
Cast iron or ferrous materials: These materials should be
of single composition, without combination or attachment to
other types of materials. This is a recyclable material. The
materials may be sent to metal scrap and recycling centers.
Electrical components: This includes cables and electronic
parts (magnetic cards, etc.). These materials may be
considered as urban waste. Give the materials to your local
public waste disposal service.
Old mineral, synthetic and/or mixed oils: Blend oils and
greases are special refuse. Have these collected by a
service specializing in oil disposal.
Note:
Standards and legislation for waste disposal is in a state
continuous change and evolution. The user must be
informed of current regulation for waste disposal of machine
tools, as they may differ from those described above. They
are to be considered as general guideline.
