6. POSITION OF THE LABELS AND THE SAFETY DEVICES
WARNING! When the machine works, it is not disabled to give the fingers to the space between the
machine table and machine head in marked place. When the working board moves, the clearance in this
place is about 50 mm. If fingers are accidentally put into this place, it can occur very serious injury.
Front cover of the frame and lock screw of the folding rear cover, which disable tilting of the rear cover, are
dismantled during transport. It is necessary to install these safety parts to the machine before the machine is
switched on.
CAUTION!If it is necessary to lift the head out of the home position, it is necessary to tilt the folding
front cover to the operator side, then put the head back. If this process is not kept, and the machine is
switched on, the cover will be damaged.

Delivered table is standardly took apart. For connection of the table frame, use enclosed connecting
parts. For ensuring of the conductive connection among all metal parts of the table is necessary to put
fan washers under the one of the two neighboring screws.
WARNING!Integrity of the protective connection of the machine metal parts must be kept according
to the section DOCUMENTATION - Wiring diagrams.
CAUTION!The wiring assembly can perform only the person, who has an appropriate electrical
qualification.
2. After putting the table together and wiring the assembly - before motor cover mounting, install the
table to the given place. Its stability is ensured by the rear abutment, which is controlled by the
manual screw.
3. Before next assemblies of the machine, it is necessary to control if the motor turns in right direction, it
is marked Son drawing. The plug of supply, which is used as a main switch, put into the socket.
When the operational switch (circuit breaker) is switched on, activate the motor to run by the
