[. . . ] If you modify your saw or use parts that have not been checked and approved by the manufacturer, unpredictable damage may occur when the machine is operating. This machine is an electric tool which can cause severe burns in the event of negligence. This is why you must read and comply with: - this instruction manual, paying particular attention to the safety precautions set forth in each section, - and, where applicable, the legal provisions relative to the handling of band saws. Keep all documents provided with this machine in a safe place. [. . . ] Do not start up your saw before the following preparatory measures have been properly carried out: · Only connect your saw to the mains once all the preparatory measures stated above have been completed!Otherwise you run the risk of the saw starting up inadvertently and causing serious injury. To ensure the stability of your saw, you must secure it to a flat floor: 1. Drill into the floor and insert 4 plugs in it. Insert the screws in the base of the saw and screw them down tightly. The stand (optional accessory) provides optimum working height and stability, also giving the saw its exceptional character. The table must be adjusted on two levels: · ⷠSideways, so that the sawblade turns in the middle of the chip guard; at right angles to the sawblade. With a set square, adjust the table so that it is at right angles to the blade and tightly screw down the retaining screws (32). Loosen the nut (33) and adjust the setting of the dead-stop screw (34) until it touches the saw casing. You can mount the parallel guide either on the right or on the left of the sawblade. The sawdust of certain woods (like oak and ash) can cause cancer when inhaled. If you have long hair, it is essential that you tie it back. Never cut any workpiece which has cables, cords, ribbons, rope or wires attached to it. Before you use the saw, each time you use it, according to the height of the workpiece to be cut (the upper sawblade guide must be approximately 3 mm above the workpiece when it is cut); Following each sawblade or table adjustment, change of sawblade, or change of sawblade tension. Select the parallel guide and tilt of the table according to the type of cut you want. Position the upper sawblade guide 3 mm above the piece to be cut. Useful tip: Before sawing, always make a test cut and change the settings if required. Saw the workpiece in a single operation. Unplug the machine if you cannot continue your work immediately. After your upkeep or cleaning operations, re-set the safety device and check that it is operating properly. You must always replace damaged parts, especially the safety device, with genuine factory parts since parts that have not been checked and approved by the manufacturer can cause unpredictable damage. Only qualified staff is authorised to carry out maintenance and repair work other than the operations described in this section. [. . . ] Unscrew the table (59) from the table support (60).
