The machine electronics have been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating label. EUROBOOR EBS.500 is designed in class I (Grounded). Earth grounding of the machine is required. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the EUROBOOR service organisation.
3.3 Replacing the saw band The saw band is subject to wear. As a result, the saw band needs to be replaced sometimes. Replacing the saw band can be done by following the steps below. WARNING: Before undertaking any type of preparation or adjustment, make sure the machine is switched off and the power supply is disconnected.
4. Using the machine 4.1 Turning the machine On / Off The EBS.500 is equipped with both a power switch and an On-/Off trigger switch. By using the power switch, the machine can be turned on into stand-by mode. After that the machine can be controlled by using the on-/off trigger switch.
4.2 Adjusting the machine speed The EBS.500 is equipped with variable cutting speed. The machine speed can be adjusted from minimal 30 m/min (100 ft/min) to 80 m/min (265 ft/min). This adjustment can be made by turning the machine speed knob, which is on the motor housing.
2. After loosening the ‘Angle lock screw” de machine’s arm can be moved left or right, adjusting the cutting angle. 3. Once the correct angle has been chosen, tighten the ‘Angle lock screw’ by turning it opposite to step 1.
4.5 Adjusting the blade guidance For the machine to make high quality cuts it is important that the saw band is stable and not vibrating too much. To avoid vibrations of the saw band, the machine is equipped with an adjustable blade guidance system.
4.7 Adjusting the depth of cut The maximum depth of cut can be adjusted by turning depth adjustment screw (counter-) clockwise. Setting a correct depth of cut prevents the machine from touching the base, but also can be used to stop cutting at a certain depth.
5. Maintenance Your EUROBOOR power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, turn off and disconnect the machine from the power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set- ups or when making repairs.
