TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The robust and highly reliable structure makes these mitres
suitable for cutting wood, aluminium and steel in industrial
environments, while preserving their usual ease of handling and
without restricting their movement.
The MTF216/1100T and MTF250/1500T are tted with a wide
upper table that allows the mitre saw to be transformed into a
table saw to carry out cutting (up to a thickness of 45 millimetres).
The MTF216/1100T and MTF250/1500T are tted with two
working tables (upper and lower), and have been provided with a
switch to keep the circuit on while pressing, and a lock-on button
for free-hands operation when working on the upper bench.
The MTF216/1100T and MTF250/1500T are tted with a
new electronic device to prevent the machine from starting
unexpectedly after a break in the voltage supply. When this
happens, to restart you must oper-ate the switch to switch-off
and then to switch-on.
A single operator is needed to use the mitre saw, of which the
design and construction comply with stan-dards EN 61029-1 and
EN 60204-1.
SAFETY DEVICES
• Atrest,thebladeistotallycoveredbytwoprotec-tors,
one xed and one mobile, which are automati-cally opened by
the descent of the blade unit when cutting.
• On the upper bench, the blade is covered by one protection

which is raised by the work when it comes close to the cut.
WARNING – these protectors must not be removed, in order
to prevent danger for the operator.
• In the event that the switch lock button has not been
engaged, the machine will stop automatically when the
handgrip is released.
WARNING – engaging the lock button disables the safety
device provided by the manufacturer and enables push-
buttonstart.Itisrecommendedthatthisdevicebeusedwith
theutmostcaution.
The tool has been designed and built so that it is possible to
work in all situations with total safety, however, in special working
conditions, gloves and protective goggles should be worn.
The tool has been designed and built to reduce noise to a
minimum (see technical data), however, in special conditions the
maximum noise level in the workplace might exceed 85 dB(A).
In this case, the operator should protect himself from excessive
noise by using ear protectors.
GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
See manual “Safetyinstructions” which is supplied together
with this instructions manual.
INSTALLATION
1. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before connecting the machine to the mains, one must make sure
that it complies with current regula-tions in the country where it is
used and that the voltage and frequency are as indicated on the
char-acteristics plate.
When extensions are used, make sure that the cross section of
the cables is suited to their length. If using roll up extensions,
make sure that they unroll completely in order to prevent
overheating.
WARNING–beforeplugginginthemachine,makesurethat
theswitchlockbuttonisreleased.
2. WORKPLACE
The tool that you have purchased is a transportable or semi-
stationary electric tool. Only one operator is needed to use it,
given its structure, weight and ease of handling.
In normal use, the operator is in front of the machine with the
handle to his right. The right hand on the handle allows the
machine to be handled completely, in fact, the switch and a safety
hook may be accessed without releasing the handle.
CONSTANT ELECTRONICS
The built-in module permits:
- Soft start.
- The maintenance of a practically constant rated speed up to
rated power.
- An overload protection system by means of current cut-off
in the case of motor overload, in which case the burring machine
shuts down and re-starts when the grinding pressure has been
reduced.
MITRESAWADJUSTMENT-SQUARING
The mitre is delivered by the manufacturer already adjusted and
squared according to standard pa-rameters.
WARNING – before making any adjustment of the mitre,
unplugthemachine.
1. BLADE UNIT LIFTING
An internal spring keeps the motor unit at rest position (raised).
In this position, a safety hook prevents the unit from being
activated accidentally.
1.1 To unlock the motor unit and to be able to use the machine as
a mitre saw, activate the front button D(Fig.1) (the operation may
be carried out with the right hand on the handle).
1.2. To use the machine as a bench circular saw, unlock the
motor unit as indicated in 1.1, and after lowering it completely,
block it with pin P(Fig.1a).
2. BLADE PENETRATION ADJUSTMENT
The depth of penetration has already been adjusted by the
manufacturer during testing.
As incorrect adjustment may cause sharpness to be lost quickly
and/or the teeth of the blade to be broken, further adjustment
might be needed, in which case it will be necessary to work as
follows:
- Activate bolt A (Fig.1а) and the corresponding lock nut to
create a lower limit for the motor housing ideal for preventing
the blades from coming into contact with the turntable.
