Moccasins, clogs, slippers or other kinds ofinappropriate footwear should absolutely not beworn. Operator should always wear suitable, safeclothing such as protective shoes, goggles, gloves,facemasks against dust, and so on.ECOLOGY AND POLLUTIONTake all necessary precautions forprotection against noise pollution bywearing suitable soundproof headsets.With regard to use and disposal ofproducts for cleaning and maintenance operations,take care to respect the environmental laws andregulations in force in the country of use, as well asthe recommendationsprovided by the manufacturerof such products.If the machine has to be dismantled, because it is nolonger to be used, follow all the anti-pollutionregulations established by the competent authoriesin the country of use of the machine. If necessary,carry out all the necessary legal procedures relatingto disposal of machinery.SAFE CONDITIONS FOR USEThe machine must not be started up bystaff who have not read and fullyunderstood the instructions laid out inthis booklet, nor staff members who donot have the necessary skill to run it, or are not ingood health. The tenoning machine is to be usedsolely by sufficiently mature operators who are ingood physical and mental mental conditions.Before starting the machine, check that all installedsafety devices are in proper working conditions.Before starting work operations, the operator shouldtake the time to get suitably acquainted with thecontrol devices and their operating principles.During machine operation, the operator MUST standalongside the machine, behind the stop square asthis is the only position from which an operator willbe able to work properly. The operator must alwaysconclude all tenoning operations before moving fromthis position.Before starting the machine, make sure there are nochildren, animals or other people near the machine.The machine can be run only by an electric-driven6

TENONING MACHINE ST-3ASAFE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONCONDITIONSmotor. pay special attention to the various electricmotors and components. Do not touch moving partsor stand in their way during operation. Do not standwithin the area of operation of the machine or wherethere are moving parts. Make sure that all safetydevices are in perfect working order. the area withinwhich the machine is used is to be considered as“dangerous”, especially for people who have notreceived training on how to use the machine.Theoperator has to make absolutely sure there are nopeople and/or animals within a certain distance fromthe machine, in order to safeguard them against therisk of:- being hit by objects flung out of the machine- contact with moving elements of the machine- inhalation of dust or gas.In the event of “exposure” of a person to danger,that is, if this person is standing within the “dangerzone”, the operator must immediately switch themachine off and possibly ask the intruder to moveaway to a greater distance. It is absolutely essentialto take precautions against risks of breathing dustproduced during the work process. It is particularynecessary to wear protective clothing, cut-proofgloves and antislip, squeezeproof shoes whileperforming maintenance or servicing operations. Ifit is absolutely necessary to operate near mainelectric power lines, all elements of the machineshould be kept at a safe distance from these cables.If in doubt regarding suitable safety distances,contact the local electric energy authority. As themachine has been made mostly of metalcomponents, if any of these parts comes into contactwith a live electric wire or if a spark is generatedbetween a power line and the tenoning machine, thismay create a dangerous, or even fatal situation forthe machine operator. it is absolutely forbidden toabandon the machine while it is in operation. Beforean operator can move away from the machine, thismust be completely switched off.In situations of particularly serious danger, theoperator must press the emergency mushroom likeSTOP button located on the control panel.- Regularly check that the machine is notmissing any of its fundamentalcomponents or safety devices.- Regularly check that screws, nuts andjoints aretightly fastened down.- take scrupulous care to use lubricants conformingclosely to those recommended.- All spare parts must correspond to specificationsdefined by the machine manufacturer. Use onlyoriginal spare parts.- It is absolutely forbidden to remove or tamper withsafety devices installed on the machine.- Machine maintenance operations are to beperformed only by skilled staff and following theinstructions described in this manual.- Do not carry out any maintenance or even cleaningoperations without having first disconnected themains power supply.- Take utmost care to perform maintenanceoperations exactly as described in this manual.Arrange for skilled staff to perform substitution ofdamaged or worn parts of the machine. Theinstruction manual should be read, understood andkept in suitable conditions of use, for future referencefor the entire working life of the machine.DELIVERYIn the event of future necessity to movethe machine for particulary long distances,it may be loaded either on a rail wagonor a lorry. The machine is normallydelivered in heat-shrunk nylon packaging and placedin a vertical position on a wooden pallet. This makesit easiet to move, load and unload the machine bymeans of ordinary lift truck of suitable load capacity.Instead, if the machine needs to be moved afterhaving removed it from the pallet, it will be necessaryto do so by means of an overhead crane system,using ropes or chains of suitable strenght hookedonto the four hook-up points located at the base ofthe machine and identified by means of a hooksymbol.7

TENONING MACHINE ST-3ACAUTIONBefore lifting the machine, make sure that all mobileelements of the machine are well clamped down.Make sure that the load capacity of the crane lift issufficient to lift the machine. Lift the machine withutmost care and move it about easily, without joltingor banging against other objects.DANGERLifting and transport operations may be dangerousif not carried out with utmost care. It is thereforenecessary to keep intruders away from the area ofmanoeuvre, provide a clean, clear space and markthe limits of the transfer area. Check that theequipment used for these operations is in properworking order and suitable for the specific job.Never touch the machine while it is suspended inthe air and avoid coming within a normal safetydistance. During machine transport do not lift themachine more than 20 cm from the floor. Make surethat the area in which these operations are takingplace are free from obstruction and a suitable“escape zone” is available, that is, a sufficiently cleararea where it is possible to take shelter in case themachine should fall duting movement.WARNINGThe floor where the machine is to be installed shouldbe perfectly horizontal, to avoid the possibility ofshifting loads. These ropes are to be firmly fastenedto the machine and well taut onto the fastening pointson the lorry loading floor. Having reached thedestination, before loosening the ropes holding themachine to the lorry loading.Then , unpack themachine and dispose of the packaging materials byseparating the various elements, e.g. nylon, woodand so on, respecting the anti-pollution laws currentlyin force in the country where the machine is to beinstalled. After having checked that the machine hasnot undergone any damage, make all the necessarypreparations for its installation position.INSTALLATIONIn the choice of the position for machineinstallation, it is best to consider thefollowing conditions:- check that that the chosen location iswell-sheltered from climatic agents and not toodamp;- make sure that the floor is perfectly flat andhorizontal, with nonslip treated surface and capableof bearing the entire weight of the machine;- check that there is ample manoeuvring spacesurrounding the machine and free from obstruction;- ensure that the room where the machine is installedis well guarded or closed, preventing access to themachine to children or other people who have notbeen trained to use it.- check that there is adequate lighting (and compliantwith relative standards);- make sure the machine is located near the mainpower switch (and fitted with a surge cut-off device);- check that the eletric power line includes anearthing system in compliance with safety standards;- make sure the room temperature is kept within the+ 10° to 40° C range:- make sure the work environment does not containany explosive gases;CLEANING THE MACHINEBefore installing the machine, all theenamelled surfaces need to be thoroughlycleaned from oily residues (used toprotect the machine during transport)with alkaloid-type detergents (mineral turpentine ornaphtha). These should not be sprayed directly ontothe machine, but poured onto a dry cloth, which is8
