General

WARNING! Inspection and/or maintenance
!
should be carried out with the motor
switched off and the plug disconnected.

Cleaning

WARNING! Do not use a high pressure
!
washer when rinsing the inside of the
machine.
The machine can withstand taking in damp air and splashes
during the cutting process. Clean water does not affect the
machine's function.
When cutting materials such as concrete or brick, which can
contain salt, you must rinse the machine after the work is
finished. The cleaning reduces the risk for accretions building
up inside the engine, which can cause leakage current
between electric components, which in turn can cause the
ground fault circuit interrupter to turn off without intention.
• Clean the machine daily by rinsing it with clean water after
the work is finished.
• Place the machine with the rear handle facing upwards.
Rinse the air intakes at the rear handle with clean water.
The water will run out through the front air outlets.
• Connect the plug and run the engine dry for approx. 30
sec in order to speed up the drying of the engine.
Inspecting and adjusting the drive
belt
• The drive belt is fully enclosed and well-protected from
dust, dirt and mechanical damage when cutting.
Check the tension of the drive belt
• Stick a screwdriver in the notch.
• A correctly adjusted drive belt should have about 5 mm of
movement.

MAINTENANCE

Tighten the drive belt
• Loosen the two nuts.
• Loosen the clamping bolt.
• Turn the eccentric plate anti-clockwise with a screwdriver
or a torx driver. This tightens the drive belt by pushing the
bar forwards.
• Tighten the nuts.
• Screw the bolt tight. Hold still the eccentric plate so that it
doesn't move along when you tighten the screws.
IMPORTANT! A new drive belt shall be tightened once after
30-60 minutes operation.

Replacing the drive belt

• Release the belt tension.
• Remove the blades.
• Remove the belt cover by loosening the nuts, the
clamping bolt and the eccentric cam.
