14.1 Tool Maintenance
Residue resin built-up on the saw blades should be removed regularly. Immerse blade(s) in a sodium carbonate solution, or
in a parafin/kerosene solution or mineral turpentine for 24 hours. The residue resin can then be easily wiped off with a rag.
Clean blades improve performance and cut quality.
14 Care and Maintenance
- Always disconnect from power before servicing.
This machine is designed to require only minimal maintenance. It is recommended to protect it from high humidity, rain and
agressive agents, such as acid vapors or solvents. All bearings and threaded rods, as well as the extrusions supporting the
rip fence, should regularly given a light coating with gun oil.
To ensure smooth operation clean the threaded rod (218) of the main blade's rise and fall mechanism regularly with kerosene,
then give a light coat of oil to the spindle and bearing. Keep saw blades from rust.
Regularly clean the motor's cooling fins from dust to ensure sufficient cooling.
Note
Both single-phase and 3-phase motors supplied with this saw are equipped with a mechanical motor brake designed for a
long service life. However, friction causes the brake pad to wear. If the blade needs more than 10 sec. to come to a complete
standstill the motor brake has to be replaced. Contact your dealer or a authorized service centre for help.
13 Belt Tension
Disconnect from power before servicing!
To set belt tension loosen the 4 motor
mounting screws one full turn.
Turn motor to tighten belt. The belt tension
can be checked through the opening in the
transmission housing. Slack should be
approx. 5 mm.
