9. UF317S USING THE MACHINE FOR PARALLEL 

CUTS. OPTIONAL ACCESSORY

Parallel cutting tool ref. 1745838 is made up of: 2 O1 
650 mm guide rails (Fig. 12), 1 set of 2 Q1 connectors 
(Fig. 12), a system for guiding and fastening FRE317S 
M1, N1, (Fig. 12), two suction pads and two U1 G-clamps 
(Fig. 14 and 15) to fasten the machine or the rails to 
the part, and with the following uses:
- As a tool for parallel cuts. Parallel cuts can be made 
by sliding the machine along a rail (Fig. 13).
- As a tool for fastening the machine: it can perform 
work that requires maintaining the base of the machine 
locked on a part. The base of the machine can be fastened 
directly to the fastening unit or by using the suction 
cups provided with the unit U1 (Fig. 17). The base of 
the machine can be directly fastened at the rail or by 
using the two suction pads supplied with equipment 
U1 (Fig. 17), and which are fitted on the machine base 
and the part.

9.1. Preparing the rail

First, join the two rails by inserting the joint guides Q1 
(Fig. 12) in the slots and locking the studs R1 (Fig. 12) 
on the two rails using the 3 mm allen key.
Now insert the guide rule M1 with the fixing clamp N1 
(Fig. 12), through one end of the slot in rail O1 (Fig. 12) 
and, once in position, tighten the knob P1 (Fig. 12) to 
lock it to the rail.

9.2. Attaching the machine to the rail

Place the trimmer beside rail O1, (Fig. 13), attach the 
fixing clamp N1 to the sides of the machine base S1 
and fasten it firmly with the two screws T1 (Fig. 13). 
The distance between the machine shaft and the edge 
of the rail is 102.5 mm.

9.3. Fastening the rail to the part

USING G-CLAMPS:

 Fasten the rail to the part using 

the g-clamps provided with the accessory.
Insert one g-clamp in the slot of the rail at each end, bring 
it close to the part and fasten it to the edges (Fig. 14).

USING SUCTION CUPS: 

The rail can also be fastened 

to a part to be worked on with suction cups. This is only 
possible when the surface of the material is flat, smooth 
and pore-free (Fig. 15).
Mount the suction cups U1 on rail O1, (Fig. 16) by inserting 
two screws V1 in the slot. Place the cup on the screws 
and fasten it with the washers and wing nuts W1 and 
X1, (Fig. 16). We recommend attaching the suction cups 
to the rail near each edge of the material. The cup acts 
by pressing it down on the surface to which it will be 
fastened and moving the central lever to a horizontal 
position, as shown in (Fig. 15). The suction cups have 
been designed for holding templates during trimming 
or sawing work.

If work is carried out non-continuously, with long breaks 
in between, the suction of the cups should be checked 
before resuming work.

9.4. Working with the machine for parallel cuts

With the machine mounted on its support, fasten the 
rail to the material along a previously traced reference 
line. Make sure the distance between the centre of the 
tool and the edge of the rail is correct as explained 
above and begin work (Fig. 13).
As a reference for moving the machine, you can use 
the millimetre ruler on the adjustable guide through 
the position of the pointer of sight M2 on the fixing 
clamp (Fig. 13)
Use the parallel cutting machine more comfortably by 
removing one of the side handles Y1 (Fig. 2) from the 
trimmer and placing it on the front of the machine 
Y1 (Fig. 9).

9.5. Fastening the machine to the material

It is possible to fix the machine to the material to be 
trimmed To do this fasten the base of the machine to 
the material by placing the two suction cups U1 (Fig. 
17) included with the parallel cutting accessory to the 
sides of the base of the machine. Insert the suction cup 
fixing screws T1 (Fig. 17) in the holes in the base pressing 
firmly and turn the fastening lever on each suction cup 
to fix it in position.

10. REPAIRING A WORK TOP WITH THE EQUI-
PMENT UF317S (Fig. 18)

With the FRE317S angle trimmer and optional equi-
pment UF317S you can easily cut out damaged work 
top parts made of mineral materials, replacing them 
with new parts.

10.1 Cutting the Work Top

- Attach the cutting tool to the machine, as indicated 
in section 5.4 of this manual.
- Turn the motor 45°, as indicated in section 5.3 of 
this manual.
- Trace one line on the work top where you want to 
cut and another one parallel to it, 102.5 mm (+) or (-) 
the radius of the cutting tool you are going to use. The 
edge of the UF317S rail must be placed over this second 
line to cut the work top.
- Fit angle trimmer FRE317S on equipment UF317S and 
fix the rail to the reference line with the two suction pads.
- Adjust the revolving stopper drum on angle trimmer 
FRE317S to cut the work top in successive 3 mm deep 
cuts, as explained in section 7.2 of this manual.
- Cut the work top, reaching the bottom of back rims.

10.2 Cutting rims

- When you have finished cutting the work top, set the
