3.2. Positioning We suggest to position the machine in the middle of a working bench having a height of approx. 80 cm with a flat surface of at least 70 x 100 cm. Find an area with sufficient light and space around it to allow cutting the workpieces. The machine needs no particular levelling operation, provided the bench surface where it is laid is regular.
3.3. Electric connection Before connecting the machine to the mains, make sure that the voltage of the motor, as indicated on the motor label, coincides with the voltage of the mains. Make the connection by inserting the plug 1 in a socket as per fig. 3-4 or in a cable extension. WARNING: If the use of extension cords is necessary, check that the cross-section of the cords is suitable to withstand the in- tensity of current drawn by the machine.

4.4. Cutting angle of the rotating table The rotating table can be turned to the right or to the left on 4 fixed positions: 15° 22,30° 30° 45°, and on central position at 90°. The table can be unlocked for adjusting it to the above angles by turning clockwise or counterclockwise the grip 22 (fig. 4-10) until you understand the table is unlocked, then rotate by pulling the 22 to the right or to the left.
9.1. GPS Suction Base 4.4.1. Safety Directions. This accessory needs the third wire for ground connection. Headphones: as indicated, use headphones for work that generates high noise.ù Environmental conditions: do not expose the machine to rain. Do not use the machine in humid or wet environments. Always work with good lighting:Do not use the machine near flammable liquids or gas.
