2. DEFINITION OF THE MACHINE AND ITS USE
2.1. DEFINITION OF THE MACHINE
This heavy duty upcut miter saw has been designed for cutting of aluminum & vinyl extrusions and wood. Cuts can
be made both straoght and miter cuts. The operator adjusts the rising speed of the saw blade (see Figure 1))
depending on the material to cut.
Miter cuts at 150- 22,50-300-450-900 are set via lock pin. Any intermediate angles are manually set by
tightening a bolt located on the turntable. You can also cut at 900 on the right side again with spring set.
The machine has been designed in full conformity with UL, CSA and CE Safety Directives.
The fence on the saw table consists of 2 parts, and can be moved back to allow larger straight cuts.
Rising speed of the saw blade is adjustable via know located on the left side, next to the control panel.
If the top guard is opened during the cutting process the saw blade stops and returns to its starting position
automatically for operator’s safety.
After the cutting process is completed, or once you release the cutting start buttons the saw blade moves
down o its starting position automatically.

2.6. ELECTRIC AND PNEUMATIC CONTROL PANEL
The operator panel is located in front of the saw table. In case of any repair or maintenance the power has to be cut
off prior to acces of this electric panel. All electrical works have to be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Below the operator panel there is the pneuamtic panel, where also the coolant bin of the spray mist system is
located. Please make sure that you use proper coolant (water based) for your cutting process..
The control panel door has to be closed and locked during
operation. In case of service carried out for maintenance and
possible defects;
DISCONNECT POWER AND OMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY TO THE
SAW.
If the air pressure falls below 4 bars (60 psi), the saw blade will
not rise and pneumatic clamps will not work.
