1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 FOREWORD
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. The distribution
network is at your service for any technical problem, spare parts or any new requirement you may have for the development of your
activity.
This manual must be read and understood before operating the machine. This will provde a better working knowledge of
the machine, for increased safety and to obtain the best results.
To facilitate its reading, the manual has been divided into sections pointing out the most important operations. For a
quick research of the topics, it is recommended to consult the index. To better stress the importance of some basic
passages, they have been marked by some preceding symbols:
1.2 MACHINE IDENTIFICATION
There is a identification plate fixed to the machine, containing the manufacturer's data, year of construction, serial
number and technical specifications.
1.3 CUSTOMER SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS

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
specified operation.
- The operator must never leave the machine unattended during operation.
- During any working cycle break, switch the machine off.
- In case of long working cycle breaks, disconnect the general power supply.

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
serve as indication.
Always take the utmost care.
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.

To avoid electrocution or fire, any maintenance or repair to electrical system should be done only by qualified electricians
using genuine replacement parts.
WARNING
3.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- Electrical installation should be carried out by competent, qualified personnel.
- The mains connection should be made using the terminal box.
- Replacement of the power supply cable should only be done by a qualified electrician.
3.4 NOISE LEVEL
No load Load
Sound Pressure Level < 80dB(A) < 90dB(A)
Sound Power Level < 90dB(A) < 100dB(A)
The noise levels measured are emission levels and not necessarily the safe working level. Although there is a
correlation between the emission levels and the exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or
not further precautions are required. The factors which affect the actual level of operator exposure include the duration
of exposure, the ambient characteristics and other sources of emission, for example, the number of machines and
other adjacent machining. The permitted exposure values may also vary from country to country. Nevertheless, this
information allows the user of the machine to better evaluate the dangers and risks.
Other factors which reduce exposure to noise are:
- correct tool choice
- tool and machine maintenance
- use of hearing protection systems (e.g. headsets, earplugs,...)
WARNING Please use the hearing protection systems if the above mentioned noise levels
exceed 95dB(A).
