1.3 Safety instructions for particular operating phases
The machine has residual risks that cannot realistically be eliminated by the manufacturer. Guards
cannot prevent access to the blade when cutting, not even if pushers or other safety tools are used.
Machine users must consequently keep in mind that sawing machines are among the most
dangerous of machines.
The machine must always be used with intelligence and good sense, adopting all the precautions
contained in this booklet.
CAUTION !!! RESIDUAL RISKS
In band saws access to the blade is always possible, even if the vertical blade
guard is properly adjusted and clamped in place 5mm above the piece to be cut.
The band blade is protected against accidental contacts during its entire length
except for the section that is strictly necessary to make the cut.
Therefore it is absolutely necessary:
When making cuts keep your hands away from the blade.
Always use a pusher to finish the cut.
Use special tools when pieces to be cut have uneven shapes:
(For example: for pieces which do not have a good support surface create
supports that house the piece to be cut).
Totally lower the blade guard at the end of work.

Any area inside and/or in the vicinity of a machine where the presence of an exposed person is a
risk for his health and safety is to be considered a dangerous area.
Any person who is located totally or partly inside a dangerous area is to be considered an exposed
person.
The person(s) charged with installing, operating, adjusting, maintaining, cleaning, repairing and
transporting a machine is to be considered an operator.
Before positioning the machine check that the floor is perfectly flat without slopes or impediments
that could jeopardize the perfect stability of the machine.
Also check that the load-bearing capacity of the floor is compatible with the weight of the machine.
5.2 Illumination
Machines are not equipped with illumination systems and consequently must be used in adequately
illuminated work sites. It is prohibited to use the machine when the operator does not have a perfect
view of the cutting line.
5.3 Start-up and stoppage
5.3.1 Preliminary checks
It is prohibited to use the machine if any guards or safety devices are missing or inactive
CAUTION:
Before starting the blade make sure that no other operators or various objects are in the
vicinity of the machine.
Whenever you move, repair, maintain or check the machine make sure that it is cut off from the
power outlet. Before plugging the machine in you must:
Put the machine on a stable and level surface to ensure optimum support.
Check that the blade is sharp and in good condition. The blade must not have any cracks or
fissures. All teeth must be the same length and be perfectly sharpened.
Check that the blade is properly taut before starting up the machine (Pic.5)
Make sure the power outlet has the same phase characteristics as the electric motor and that
the power line is equipped with an earth leakage switch and a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker
or a short circuit fuse (max 15 Amp). Connect up the supplementary ground when present.
Electrical connection can be done after these preliminary operations are terminated.
IMPORTANT FOR THE PROPER FUNCTIONING!
Use an electric cable with section 3 x 2.5 mm2
5.3.2 Starting and stopping the machine
Properly plug in the EEC Standard electric plug. The switch is located in a comfortable position,

IMPORTANT: Do not be distracted when working, keep your hands away from the
cutting area. When cutting small pieces use special pushers with handles: make these
yourself depending on the job being done.
CAUTION: The lowering blade guard must be correctly adjusted and clamped 5 mm
above the piece to be cut (Pic. 8) before starting to work.
It is absolutely necessary that all work procedures be performed by a single operator
and not by several persons.
During work: do not use your hands to clean the work surface, use a brush with a
handle or a piece of wood.
Caution ! The machine must only be used by skilled persons who have been
adequately qualified and trained.
Be careful about persons who improvise operating the sawing machine without any kind
of information about it.
During the cutting operations after placing the block sawing, hands should be kept on
the appropriate handle (Pic. 9).
Cutting, make sure that the blade is stop before removing the cut piece:
(Always go all the way with mobile table, so you get the automatic stop of the blade).
5.4 Sequences for cutting GASBETON
START UP – CUTTING PHASE
Pressing the green push-button starts the blade moving. The
blade stops by itself at the end of the table’s travel.
The green push-button must be reset after each cut.
WARNINGS FOR INTERMEDIATE CUTS
The blade does not stop by itself when an intermediate cut is
made on a piece.
The operator must use the stop push-button to
first stop the blade and then remove the pieces.
TABLE FORWARD FEED
Important: always make cuts with moderation.
(give the blade enough time to work).
WARNINGS WHEN MAKING VERTICAL CUTS ON BLOCKS
Make sure the piece is stable and resting on a good support
surface. Proceed with very moderate forward speeds. Avoid
making vertical cuts on pieces with insufficient support surface.
This procedure must be performed by a capable
and experienced machine operator.
MOTOR
Turn the motor off immediately if the blade seizes. (red button)
WARNINGS
Absolutely avoid putting your hands in the cutting area when the blade is moving!
Do not operate the machine when breakdowns or defects occur: wait until they
have been removed.
When cutting use low thrust pressures and “slow” even forward feed speeds make
sure the blade is stopped when handling the block before and after the cutting
phase.
Absolutely do not put your hands in the cutting area when the blade is moving.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO CUT:
Stone, rocks, marble, granite, ceramics, concrete blocks, iron, etc.
IMPORTANT
For maximum machine durability and cutting precision always make the first cuts with
very low pressure levels, increasing pressure slowly until you reach the optimum level
based on the type of material to be cut.
5.5 Operating requirements
Maximum piece dimensions are:
Height 50 cm, length 66 cm, useful cutting width 42 cm. (CB511)
Height 64.5 cm, length 66 cm, useful cutting width 42 cm. (CB611)

It is compulsory to protect your respiratory track
Dust emission level when cutting 200 mm thick aerated concrete blocks
(1,74mg / Nmc)
5.7 Square for angle cuts (Pic. 11)
This square can be placed either to the right or to the left of the blade with a simple procedure. Just
loosen knob (p), pull out aluminum support (o) and thread it onto the cross guide tube (u) to the right
of the blade. Then clamp aluminum support (o) in the desired position using knob (p). To angle the
square (s) use knob (r).
6 - MAINTENANCE
CAUTION ! All adjustment and maintenance procedures must be done with the machine
stopped, the motor off and the power supply cut off! It is prohibited to tamper with or
remove guards.
Pay attention to your hands: rotating blade !
It is prohibited to remove residual materials and dust while the blade is moving.
It is prohibited to clean the blade while it is moving.
During maintenance: use sturdy gloves to handle the blade. Be careful of the spring effect. Always
post a sign to indicate when a machine is out of use due to operating problems.
DO NOT WASH THE MACHINE WITH WATER
Use a vacuum-cleaner or a small compressor to clean the machine.
Do not grease: use only atomized oil in spray can.
6.1 Blade adjustment and replacement
These procedures must be performed with the power plug disconnected.
No guard needs to be dismantled to install the blade. To remove the
blade open the hatchways, lower guard (1 Pic.12) down to the level of
the table and turn it to the right. Unscrew and remove the knob (1 Pic.13)
and rotate the handle (2 Pic. 13). Then install the blade and make sure it
is housed properly in the blade guides (Pic. 14). The blade must be well
taut by the handwheel (1 Pic.15) until the tip of the arrow (2 Pic. 15) lines
up with the green colored notch (3 Pic.15).
6.2 Blade alignment
If the blade is not correctly positioned during rotation it must be adjusted using screw (1, Pic.16)
after loosening lock nut (2, Pic.16). Turning it counterclockwise increases tooth protrusion. Turning it
clockwise decreases tooth protrusion. It is not necessary to loosen the blade after use.
6.3 Blade guide
The two blade guides are equipped with widia inserts (Pic.17-18). The widia inserts beside the blade
act as blade guides while the bearing positioned on the back of the blade acts to support the thrust.
Make sure these widia inserts always permit the blade to slide. Clean the blade guides with
compressed air to prevent friction. Replace the bearings when they are worn.
When the bearing on the back of the blade has a very deep furrow it must be replaced:
Bearing for upper blade guide: cod.62200.2rs = D30-D10-14
Bearing for lower blade guide: cod.6200.2rs = D30-D10-9
Example:

8.3 Warranty
Warranty coverage is excluded on parts which are due to natural wear, thermal stresses, weather or
breakdowns caused by incorrect connections, installation, operation or lubrication or caused by
forceful interventions. Warranty coverage is excluded on electrical and electronic apparatus in case
of damages caused by inappropriate voltage (insufficient or excess voltages).
In addition no warranty coverage shall be recognized for damages caused by improper use or
misuse of the machine such as unsuitable modifications or repairs made by the owner or by third
parties under their own responsibility and also in case of intentional overloads of the machine.
Parts subject to wear (for example cutting blades, drive belts or drive chains, blade guides,
bearings, thrust bearings, condenser) as well as performance of all adjustment and calibration
works are totally excluded from the warranty.
8.4 Customer service
When ordering spare parts, please mention:
The serial number.
The code of the part.
The exact denomination.
The number of parts required.
The delivery address.
Please indicate clearly the means of transportation required such as "express" or "by air".
Without specific instructions, we will forward the parts through the means which seem
appropriate to us --- but which is not always the quickest way.
Clear instructions will avoid problems and faulty deliveries.
If not sure, please send us the defective part.
In the case of a warranty claim, the part must always be returned for evaluation.
Spare parts for the motor can be ordered with the manufacturer of the motor or with their dealer,
which is often quicker and cheaper.
