1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 FOREWORD
This machine is desinged to make straight and mitre cut for wood material, especially for wood board cutting. CAM
software which can automatically calculate the best layout plan is built in the machine. Also rip fence is controlled by
CNC computer.
Some information and illustrations in this manual may difer from the machine in your possession, since all the
configurations inherent in the machine complete with all the optionals are described and illustrated. Therefore, refer only
to that information strictly connected with the machine configuration you have purchased.
With this manual we would like to provide the necessary information for maintenance and proper use of the machine.

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1 SAFETY REGULATIONS
Read carefully the operation and maintenance manual before starting, using, servicing and
carrying out any other operation on the machine.
The manufacturer disclaims all responsibilities for damages to persons or things, which might be caused by any failure
to comply with the safety regulations.
- The machine operator shall have all necessary prerequisites in oder to operate a complex machiery.
- It is prohibited to use the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
- All the operators must be suitably trained for use, adjustment and operation of the machine.
- The operators must carefully read the manual paying particular attention to the warning and safety notes. Furthermore,
they must be informed on the dangers associated with use of the machine and the precautions to be taken, and must be
instructed to periodically inspect the guards and safety devices.

- Before carrying out adjustment, repair or cleaning work, disconnect the machine from the electric power by setting the
main switch to stop.
- After an initial bedding-in period or many hours of operation, the driving belts may slacken; this causes an increase in
the tool stopping time (the stopping time must be less than 10 seconds). Immediately tighten them.
- The working area around the machine must be kept always clean and clear, in order to have an immediate and easy
access to the switchboard.
- Never insert materials which are different from those which are prescribed for the machine utilization. The material to
be machined must not contain any metal parts.
- Never machine pieces which may be too small or too wide ithrespect to the machine capacity.
- Do not work wood which has evident defects (cracks, knots, metal parts, etc.)
- Never place hands among the moving parts and/or materials.
- Keep hands clear from the tool; feed the piece with the aid of a pusher.
- Keep the tools tidy and far away from those not authorized persons.
- Never employ cracked nor uckled, neither not correctlyreground tools.
- Never use the tools beyond the speed limit recommended bythe producers.
- Carefully clean the rest surfaces of tools and make surethat they find perfectly horizontally positioned, and with no
dents at all.
- Always wear gauntlets when handling the tools.
- Mount the tools in the right machining direction.
- Never start the machine before having correctly installed all the protections.
- Connect the dust suction hoods to an adequate suction system; suction must always be activated when the machine is
switched on.
- Never open doors or protections when the machine or the system is operating.
- Many unpleasant experiences have shown that anybody may wear objects which could cause serious accidents.
Therefore, before starting working, take any bracelet, watch or ring off.
- Button the working garment sleeve well around the wrists.
- Take any garment off which, by hanging out, may get tangled in the MOVING UNITS.
- Always wear strong working footwear, as prescribed by the accident-prevention regulations of all countries.
- Use protection glasses. Use appropriate hearing protection systems (headsets, earplugs, etc.) and dust protection
masks.
- Never let unauthorized people repair, service or operate the machine.
- The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage deriving from arbitrary modifications made to the machine.
- Any transport, assembly and dismantling is to be made only by trained staff, who shall have specific skill for the

2.2 RESIDUAL RISKS
Despite observance of all the safety regulations, and use according to the rules described in this manual, residual risks
may still be present, among which the most recurring are:
- contact with tool
- contact with moving parts (belts, pulleys, etc..)
- recoil of the piece or part of it
- accidents due to wood splinters or fragments
- tool insert ejection
- electrocution from contact with live parts
- danger due to incorrect tool installation
- inverse tool rotation due to incorrect electrical connection
- danger due to dust inhalation in case of working without vacuum cleaner.
Bear in mind that the use of any machine tool carries risks.
Use the appropriate care and concentration for any type of machining (also the most simple).
The highest safety is in your hands.
2.3 SAFETY AND INFORMATION SIGNALS
This signals may be applied on the machine; in some cases they indicate possible danger conditions, in others they

SAFETY SIGNALS:
Risk of eye injury. Wear eye protection.
Wear hearing protection systems.
Danger of electric shock. Do not access the area when the machine is powered.
Carefully read and understand the manual before using the machine.
INFORMATION SIGNALS:
Indicate the technical characteristics, direction of rotation and inclination, block and release, etc.
Carefully following the directions to simply the use and adjustment of the machine.
The signals are graphically described and do not require further explanation.
-5-
- In case of long working cycle breaks, disconnect the general power supply.
- The operating method to be followed in the event of accident or breakdown, the machine should be turned off
immediately and unplug from main power and ask for assistance for the authorized people. If a blockage is likely to occur,
the workpiece should be move back a little and enable the equipment to be safely unblocked.
