Care and Maintenance

WARNING:
For your safety, before performing any maintenance on
the saw turn OFF the power switch and UNPLUG the
power cord.

GENERAL RULES

• Always clean the machine before performing any main-
tenance/repair.
• Before performing any cleaning/maintenance/repair,
the machine must be switched off with the main power
switch.
Steps to Follow When Cleaning:
• Please do not use aggressive cleaners (i.e. containing
solvents). Do not use high-pressure water jets, aggres-
sive detergents or solutions and liquids with a tempera-
ture exceeding 86ºF! Use a fluff-free cloth only.
• Use a cloth which may be lightly moistened only for re-
moving dust and dirt. Hard packed dirt can be removed
with a soft brush.
• For the sake of safety, no water/cleaning liquid/vapor
may penetrate into the electric motor, connectors/plugs,
switches, etc. Therefore cover all apertures, holes in
the housing, connectors or plugs, etc. or seal them with
adhesive tape!
• Use a soft, low-pressure water jet and a brush to rinse
dirt and incrustations away. Be particularly careful when
near hazardous parts of the machine (e.g. switch, mo-
tor). Clean the motor and switches only by wiping with a
moist cloth.
• Do not "rinse" the bearings of the drive elements to pre-
vent them from running dry. The ball bearings of the ma-
chine are permanently lubricated.
• After cleaning, remove all covers and adhesive tape!
All screws/nuts which you may have loosened must be
tightened again!
• After wet cleaning, try the machine on a power outlet
which is equipped with a power breaker (i.e. fault cur-
rent circuit breaker). If the fault current circuit breaker
cuts the power supply, the machine must be inspected
by an authorized dealer prior to use!

CLEANING

After every use of the machine:
• Remove dirty water from container.
• Remove dirt and mud from the bottom of the container.
• Rinse the immersion pump with fresh water to prevent
the water pump from clogging with residual dirt.
After wet cleaning and before using the machine
again:
• Connect the machine to an electric power outlet equipped
with a "GFCI" safety power breaker. If the safety power
breaker cuts off the electrical power supply, do not try to
operate the machine but have it checked by an autho-
rized dealer first.

PROLONGED PERIOD OF NONUSE

Before not using the machine for a prolonged period
of time:
• Clean and lubricate all movable parts. However, do not
grease the guide rails.
After not using the machine for a prolonged period of
time:
• Check that the stand is safely fixed.
• Check that all screw joints and nuts are fixed.
• Check that the cutting table is seated properly on the
guide rails and that it moves easily along the entire
length of the rails.
• With the saw blade removed, switch on the motor for an
instant and switch it off again. If the motor does not run,
have the machine inspected by a qualified electrician.
• Check that the immersion pump works properly. Turn
on the cooling water tap and switch the machine on. If
the pump does not give any water or only a little, switch
the machine off at once. Clean the pump, or replace if
necessary.
