Maintenance - MULTIQUIP MP3 Operation And Parts Manual

General maintenance practices are crucial to the
performance and longevity of the saw and diamond blades.
This equipment requires routine inspection, cleaning, and
service.
WARNING
NEVER attempt to service the unit while the motor is
running. Severe bodily injury or DEATH can occur.
Whenever cleaning, adjusting, or lubricating the saw
or any of its components, ALWAYS place the power
ON/OFF switch in the OFF (down) position and
disconnect the plug from the power source.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
The ball bearings are permanently lubricated. DO NOT
lubricate or rinse the bearings of the drive elements.
Daily Inspection (Before Each Use)
1. Tighten any loose fasteners and replace any worn
or damaged parts. Inspect the blade lock bolt and
retighten it if necessary.
2. Inspect the cutting head for proper alignment. A
misaligned cutting head will adversely affect blade life.
3. Inspect the cutting table and replace any worn or
damaged parts.
4. Connect the saw to an electrical power outlet connected
to a GFCI circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker trips, a
short has been detected. DO NOT attempt to operate
the saw. Have the saw checked by an authorized
service dealer first.
Daily Cleaning (After Each Use)
1. Clean the saw. DO NOT use aggressive cleaners
(i.e. cleaners containing solvents). DO NOT use
high-pressure water jets, aggressive detergents or
solutions, or liquids with a temperature exceeding
86°F (30°C).
2. Use only a lint-free cloth which may be lightly moistened
to remove dust and dirt. Remove any hard-packed dirt
with a soft brush.

3. Use a soft, low-pressure water jet to rinse away dirt
and crust. Be particularly careful near the saw's
electrical components (e.g. switch, motor). Wipe
these components clean with a moist cloth only.
NOTICE
DO NOT let any water, cleaning liquid, or vapor
penetrate into the electric motor, plugs, switches, etc.
Cover or seal all apertures, holes in the housing, plugs,
etc. with adhesive tape while cleaning the saw.
4. Remove any covers or adhesive tape after cleaning.
Retighten any fasteners which may have loosened
during cleaning.
5. Clean the water tray. Drain all water from the tray, and
remove any dirt or sludge remaining inside. Sludge is
abrasive and will shorten the life of the blade. It may
be necessary to clean the tray twice a day when using
the saw extensively.
Ambient Temperatures At Or Below 32°F / 0°C
(Winter Operation)
To prevent water in the water kit from freezing in cold
weather, ALWAYS drain all water from the system after
each use. Make sure there is no water remaining in the
pump or tubes.
Air Filter Maintenance
1. Make sure the motor is turned off and the saw is
unplugged from its AC power source. Wait for the motor
to cool, if necessary.
2. Remove the existing air filter by pulling it through the
opening in the motor air intake cover (Figure 21).
