10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Attention! Before performing any work on the equipment, pull the power
plug.
10.1 Cleaning
 Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.
 Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
 Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
 If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
 Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
10.2 Maintenance
 Our machines have been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper machine care
and regular cleaning.
10.2.1 For all maintenance works
 Switch the machine “OFF”
 Remove the plug from the socket
 Wait until the machine has come to a complete standstill
 Repair and maintenance works may only be carried out by trained specialists, with the
exception of those described in this chapter.
 Replace defective parts, especially defective safety facilities. Parts that have not been
tested and approved by the manufacturer can lead to unforeseen damages.
- Make sure that all safety facilities are operational once more, after the completion of
maintenance works.
10.2.2 Before every use
 Remove sawdust and wood splinters from the machine with a brush and dust cloth, or with
a vacuum cleaner.
 Check the power cable and plug for damages, and let damaged parts be replaced by a
certified electrician.
 Check all moving parts, and make sure that they can move freely and smoothly over their
entire operational range.
 Check the riving knife, and make sure that the distance between the riving knife and saw
blade is between 3 mm and 8 mm.
10.2.3 Monthly (if the saw is used every day)
Check the condition of the drive belt and the belt tension, and fix it if necessary.
10.2.4 Every 300 operating hours (Fig. 10)
