Dust collection

Amigo® cutting robot is designed for use with a vacuum cleaner with a manual start, i.e. by switching on the vacuum
cleaner’s start button, it can be switched on and off by connecting and disconnecting the power supply to the vacuum
cleaner.
This is controlled by connecting the vacuum cleaner to a power socket with an on-off switch, activating the start button
and switching the power socket on and off. By starting and stopping the vacuum cleaner it can be used with Amigo®.
Connect the vacuum cleaner to Amigo® and set the start button to start before starting to saw.
On start-up, Amigo® will briefly switch on the vacuum cleaner so that the user can hear it is working as it should.
If the vacuum cleaner does not switch on, Amigo® must not be used before the fault has been rectified.

The vacuum cleaner bag fills quickly

Amigo® collects so much dust that vacuum cleaner bags fill up quickly. Therefore, we recommend that you use a
vacuum cleaner with a cyclone or with a cheaper collection bag so that you do not incur excessive costs on machine-spe-
cific bags.
To ensure that the suction capacity is optimal, the industrial vacuum cleaner used should be Class H or better. Another
advantage is the banker function to minimise blockage of the system.
The machine will need to be cleaned periodically to achieve the optimal output as hoses and joints can get blocked up,
therefore you should check those too and clean them at least every time the bag is changed.

Rectifying reduced suction capacity or system blockages

Change the bag and switch on the vacuum cleaner manually and then take the hose and block the tube a couple of times
with the palm of your hand.
Reconnect the hose to the machine and dismantle the hose at the cutting head. This is a flexible hose that you can block
in the same way with the palm of your hand, and it may help to stretch and compress it to remove dust in the extreme
edges of the tube.
Take a pen or similar object and release any potential dust blockage in the connector piece on the cutting head and
utilise the loose, flexible hose to collect any dust that may have been loosened.

Maximum power consumption

Can be connected to a vacuum cleaner with a total power consumption of up to 1500W.

Note! The vacuum cleaner is not included.

Protective devices and cutting blades

Do not remove material cuttings or other parts of the workpiece from the area in which it has been cut while Amigo® is
running.
Wait until the cutting head is in rest mode before collecting the material cuttings.
Notify the vendor of the product of any faults with Amigo®, including faults in the protective devices or cutting blades
immediately on discovering the faults.
Check that the blade cover is completely closed and locked correctly. Do not use Amigo® without the protective devices
being properly engaged and ensure that it is functioning correctly and properly maintained.

Additional safeguards for Amigo®

– Only use the recommended electrical voltage: 220-240V

– Check that the lock screws have been tightened before starting.

– Check that all locking mechanisms on the connector are intact and are properly locked before Amigo® is started.

– Carry out regular checks to make sure the motor’s air inlet is free of dust and wood chips.

– Read the user guide thoroughly before using any Amigo® accessories. Incorrect use of Amigo® can result in perso-

nal injury and material damage.

– Keep body parts away from the cutting blade and the area in which the cutting is being carried out when the power

is connected.

– Do not cut panels measuring less than 400x400 mm.

– Never try to stop the cutting blade by pressing an object against it while it is rotating. This can result in serious

personal injury
