N.B. To ensure correct functioning, periodically
check the efciency of RCCBs by pressing the
push-button on the front of the device.
- Make sure that the section of the power supply
cable cores has been measured according to
the starting current and its length.
For cables up to 50 m long, a section of 4 mm2
is enough.
- Before connecting the machine to the power
socket, check that the power supply voltage
corresponds to that shown on the plate on the
machine.
- The machine must be connected to an effective
earth wire.
In case of doubt, do not connect the machine.

9. Cutting a surface at 45°
CAUTION!
Before positioning the motor head, make sure that:
- the machine is off;
- the cutting tool is not moving;
45° CUT MAX H. 80 mm
Referring to the graded scale located on the
machine upright, move the motor head to the jolly
position and tighten the knobs (see picture 21).
- With the locking lever, lower the cutting head
until placing the blade some millimetres below
the table level (see picture 22)
- Position the piece to be cut on the working table
and perform the cutting operation.
16
- Arrange the piece to be cut on the working table
at the desired measurement (see picture 17);
- Start the machine and wait until cutting
blade cooling water comes out, adjusting the
necessary amount by means of the water on-off
valve located on the blade guard, and cut (see
picture 17).

CUTTING FOR THICKNESS OF UP TO 180 mm
By adjusting the position of the cutting head using
the locking lever, it is possible to cut materials of a
height of up to 180 mm in two passages.
By making use of the graded index located on
the side of the motor head, lower the head until
reaching the desired measurement, as indicated in
picture 18.

- By means of the cutting square, arrange the
piece to be cut on the working table at the
desired measurement.

11. Residual Risk
During the design phase, CARAT paid particular
attention to the aspects that may generate risks for
the safety and health of operators.
In spite of this, there are still some potential risks,
which are described below:
CAUTION!
• Dangerofpresenceofelectriccurrent:
The machine has an internal electric system.
CONNECT THE MACHINE TO A SYSTEM
WITH DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION AND
EFFECTIVE EARTH WIRE.
CAUTION!
• Dangerofprolongedexposuretonoise:
The continuative use of the machine causes an
exposure to noise levels above 85 dB (A).
OPERATORS MUST USE PROPER EAR
DEFENDERS.
CAUTION!
• Dangerofexposuretofragmentsofmaterials.
OPERATORS MUST WEAR PROTECTIVE
GOGGLES.
25
- loosen the three bulb locking screws so that it
can be moved (see picture 25);
- position a reference properly on the tool cutting
line (see picture 24);
- insert the 5 mm Allen wrench provided in the
hexagonal slot located on the bulb
(see picture 25);
- using the Allen wrench, turn the bulb until
aligning the mark with the tool cutting line (see
picture 25).
CAUTION!
DURING THE ADJUSTMENT OPERATIONS,
MAKE SURE THAT THE LINE PRODUCED
BY THE MARKER DOES NOT REACH THE
OPERATOR’S EYES.
CAUTION!
ALWAYS KEEPASAFETY DISTANCE BETWEEN
THE OPERATOR’S EYESAND THE END OF THE
LINE.
CAUTION!
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ANY
LIABILITY FOR THE USE OF THE LASER
MARKER IN APPLICATIONS OTHER THAN THE
INDICATED APPLICATION.
10. Cutting progress system
The “CUTTING PROGRESS SYSTEM” can be
used to adjust – in a very precise manner and by
means of the hand wheel located on the machine
front upright – the cutting head forward or backward
movement.
