2. MACHINE DESCRIPTION
2.1 WORKING PRINCIPLE
The Double Mitre Saw, model T350/T400, is a vertical drop saw with the blades set at 45 degrees. It has been designed to cut
frames for pictures , furniture, windows or looms.
The blades descent is controlled by a pneumatic system that clamps the mouldings on the working bench through a couple of
cylinders.
The machine is equipped with a pneumatic device that allows the blades to return upwards using low air consumption & at a
quick speed.
The directions of the blades movement and rotation are represented on the figure 2.1 A
2.2 MAIN COMPONENTS
The main components, constituting the machine, are:

3.SAFETY
3.2 INADVISABLE USE
The machine can not be used for:
•For uses different from those listed in 3.1 paragraph
•In an explosive or aggressive atmosphere, where there is a high density of dust or oily substances suspended in the air
•In a flammable atmosphere
•Outside in all weather’s severity
•With disconnected electromagnetic interblocks
•With electric bridges and/or mechanical instruments leaving out some machine parts or functions
•For working materials not suitable with the machine’s characteristics
Note: it is absolutely forbidden to cut different materials (glass, ceramic. etc..) in particular iron (or similar)
materials.
3.1 SCHEDULED USE
The Machine is designed and built for 45° cuts of wood moulding, hard plastic, and light alloys. When cutting alloys it is
necessary to equip the machine with a Mist Spray Cooling System and the correct blades.
The machine is projected for manual use only (under operator control).
3.3 PROTECTION DEVICES
The machine is equipped with adequate protections for persons exposed to the risks due to the several moving parts (blades,
pulleys, belts, etc....), or movable organs taking part in working (blades) or ejection of wooden pieces, swarfs or dust.
3.5 SAFE WORKING PROCEDURES
The machine is projected and realized to eliminate any risk connected with its use.
Due to the necessity of steering the piece around the blades working area, it is impossible to eliminate the risks related with
possible accidental contact of the operators hands within the work area.
The other risks related with working are:
•Cut (due to hands contact with blades)
•Entanglement (due to wearing loose garments)
•Ejection of worked material splinters
To reduce the consequences of the above mentioned dangers, it is necessary to abide by the following instructions:
1 when the hands are working in the proximity of the blades, you have to steer the piece using a tool
2 avoid cutting moulding pieces smaller than 50 mm in length
3 never use your hands to take out the short pieces and/or cuttings close to the blades
4 adjust the front protection shield according to the height of the moulding you will cut and lock it into position
5 Do not wear loose fitting clothing when operating the saw.
3.4 STOP FUNCTIONS
The machine stop functions are the following:
•Main Switch (category 0)
•Normal Stop Button (category 1)
•Emergency Button (category 1)
STOP CATEGORY 0
IT is obtained by releasing the pushbuttons on the bed of the saw. (uncontrolled stop)
STOP CATEGORY 1
Controlled stop by disconnecting the air & electric service to the machine

4. INSTALLATION
Any damage of the machine caused during its shipment or handling is not covered under
warranty.
Repairs or replacements of damaged parts are charged to the customer.
A1
4.1 SHIPPING AND HANDLING
The shipment must be performed by qualified technical staff. The machine has to be shipped in a safe way to avoid any damage
to its parts.
All the protections, guard devices and doors must be properly closed and clamped.
The machine has to be shipped like positioned for installation.
Before shipment, it is necessary to lubricate the parts which are not painted to avoid rusting them.
According to the type of shipment, it is necessary to protect the machine from any jarring impact or stress
Figure 4.1B - handling indications about protection devices or
sheet metals
Figure 4.1A - handling indications

4.4 ASSEMBLY
The machine assembly is assembled by the customer following the instructions listed below:
•Remove by using a lever (ex: a big screwdriver) the nails fastening the crate to the pallet: at this point the crate can be lifted
off of the saw.
•Remove the transparent wrapping from the saw.
•Keep the external packing for reuse at a later time
•Use the 2 holes M12 of upper side (operator side) to screw the eyebolts provided to lift the machine to its own location using
a lift truck.
4.5 POSITIONING
•The machine must be positioned on the ground.
•Drill holes in the floor corresponding to the holes in the machine’s lower frame.
•Bolt the machine to the ground using n. 4 screws M8x50.
•Level the machine.
•Removethe dust collector port/ ports from inside the back of the saw and fasten them to the machine using the screws
provided.
The dust collector ports must be fastened on the machine’s right and left sides.
Connect the ports to the dust collection system.
Assembly the working bench extensions using the screws and the taper pins. They are taped inside of the working bench
extensions in a plastic bag.

4.6.1 Pneumatic connection
On the machine’s left side, are located the padlockable lubricator- filter (B), the pressure regulator of the clamp cylinders (C)
and the flow adjuster to increase or reduce the speed of blades descent.
From the transparent wrapping carefully remove the supplied pressure gauges.
Install them in this order:
The gauge 0-145 PSI goes in the lubricator- filter (B), the gauge 0-58 PSI goes into the clamp cylinders regulator (C).
Connect your air line to the lubricator- filter B using the fast clutch fitting supplied or another one adequate to the system.
Remove the pneumatic pedal (if provided) from the back of the saw and connect it to the right side of the machine’s base. Insert
the pipes into the connectors. The red pipe plugs into the red fitting and the white pipe plugs into the external connector(not
marked) towards the operators side.
The pneumatic power must have the following characteristics:
- Working pressure 7 Kg/cm2
- Maximum pressure 8 Kg/cm2
- Minimum pressure 75 PSI
- Nominal consumption 15 NL/cycle
