13. Maintenance and repairs:

Always disconnect the mains plug before doing any cleaning,
setting, maintenance or repair works!
The device is maintenance-free apart from the necessity of
regular cleaning (see below).
Only have repairs carried out by qualified specialist person-
nel or, even better, by the PROXXON central service. Never
repair electrical parts, but always exchange them for original
spare parts from PROXXON!

13.1. Cleaning the housing

For a long service life, the device should be cleaned after
every use with a soft cloth, hand brush or a soft brush. Even
a vacuum cleaner can be recommended.
Cleaning the outside of the houses can be done with a soft,
possibly moist cloth. A soft detergent or other suitable clean-
ing agent may be used. Avoid using solvents or alcohol-
based cleaning agents (e.g. benzine, rubbing alcohol, etc.)
as these will affect the plastic housing shells.
If, despite using the dust suction during operation, it is neces-
sary to clean the inside of the device, please simply swing up
the upper housing part and vacuum the inside of the device
with a vacuum cleaner.
Caution!

13.2. Cleaning the inside of the device

Never use compressed air for blowing out! The fine wood
dust could become lodged inside the motor or on electrical
components and impair the reliability and the safety of the
machine!
1. Make sure the mains plug is disconnected!
2. Swing open the upper housing part (see also section 6.2
„Unpacking")
3. Vacuum the inside of the device with a vacuum cleaner
4. Push down the upper housing part and lock.

13.3. Replacing the toothed belt

A toothed belt transmits the power from the motor to the saw
blade shaft. The belt has a very long service life, but when
the machine is used extensively, it could be necessary to
replace it after a longer operating period. The procedure is
described here. In case you are unsure, please send the saw
to our Central Service.
1. Make sure the mains plug is disconnected!
2. Set the saw blade to an approx. 40° tilt as explained in
section „Adjusting the saw blade tilt".
3. Swing up the upper housing part as explained in section
6.2
4. Block the shaft with the small Allen key as described in the
Chapter 12.
5. Unscrew the Phillips screw 1 (fig. 17). Remove thrust
washer 2.
6. Pull off the old toothed belt 3 and fit the new toothed belt.
Turn the drive at the toothed belt pulleies slightly back and
forth until the new toothed belt sits correctly.
Caution!
