Before Starting The Equipment - EINHELL TC-MC 355/1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
•
Unpack the metal cutting-off machine and
check it for damage which may have occurred
in transit.
•
Make sure the machine stands securely, i.e.
bolt it to a workbench or solid base.
•
All covers and safety devices have to be pro-
perly fitted before the equipment is switched
on.
•
The spark deflector must be turned out of the
transport position in the direction of the arrow
until a gap forms between the base plate and
the spark deflector. (Fig. 10)
•
Important! There is no rubber attached to
the foot (d) alongside the spark deflector (Fig.
10). If rubber was attached here it would be
melted by the sparks deflected by the spark
deflector.
•
The cutting wheel must rotate smoothly.
•
Before you actuate the ON/OFF switch, make
sure that the cutting-off wheel is correctly
fitted and that the machine's moving parts run
smoothly.
•
Undo the interlock (13).
6. Assembly
Important! Always pull out the power plug
before carrying out maintenance, resetting or
assembly work.
For greater stability, fasten the equipment in
addition to a workbench or similar (Fig. 1). Suita-
ble fastening materials such as screws etc. are
available from your dealer.
6.1 Transport brace / carry-handle (Fig. 1, 2)
•
Push down the saw head (1) by the handle
(2) and pull out the interlock (13).
•
Slowly raise the saw head. Important! The re-
setting spring lifts the saw head automatically.
Therefore, do not simply let go of the handle
after cutting, but allow the saw head to rise
slowly by applying slight counterpressure.
•
Fig. 1 shows the saw head in its upper posi-
tion.

•
Whenever you want to transport the machine
you should use the interlock to anchor the
saw head again in its lower position.
•
The saw is equipped with a carry-handle (8)
to make it easier to transport.
6.2 Vise (Fig. 3)
Every workpiece must be fastened in the vise (15)
before it is cut.
•
Flip up the top half of the nut (a).
•
Pull out the spindle (5) far enough for the
workpiece to be clamped between the clam-
ping faces (4/7) of the vise.
Note: There is no need to turn the spindle
when the top half of the nut has been fl ipped
up. The spindle can be pulled out or pushed
in to the exact amount required.
•
Push forward the spindle to the point where
the clamping face (4) touches the workpiece.
•
Flip down the top half of the nut again so that
the spindle and both halves of the nut engage
with each other.
•
Turn the hand crank (6) to safely secure the
workpiece in the vise.
6.2.1 Clamping large workpieces (Fig. 2,4)
To be able to machine large workpieces you must
remove both screws (16/17) and move the clam-
ping face (7) to the rear onto the holes b and c.
Then the clamping face must be secured again
with the screws.
6.3 Miter cuts (Fig. 2, 4)
The vise can be swiveled from 0° to 45° in order
to make miter cuts.
•
Slacken the two screws (16/17).
•
Turn the clamping face (7) of the vise (15) to
the required angle.
•
Retighten the screws.
•
When you clamp the workpiece, the front
clamping face (4) will automatically swing into
the correct position and align itself with the
workpiece in order to ensure that the workpie-
ce is safely fastened.
