that the CUTTING SPEED and the TYPE of DISC –
combined with a suitable descent of the head – are of
decisive importance for cutting quality and for machine
performance.
When starting to cut with a new disk, in order to
safeguard its life and efficiency, the first two or three cuts
must be made while exerting a slight pressure on the part,
so that the time taken to cut is about double the normal
time.
Press the red emergency button (E) when there are
conditions of danger of malfunctions in general, so as to
stop machine operation immediately.
