MAINTENANCE
Fig 109-110
1. Keep the saw as clean and free from saw dust build up as is
practical. Periodically, remove the saw gullet by removing the
side access panel to the side of the machine and undo the two
Hex screws on either side of the gullet, see fig 109-110. Vacuum
out and clean out the saw box and the extraction housing.
Remove any resin build up in the saw box, using a proprietary
resin cleaner.
2. Clean the threaded drive shafts of the rise and fall and tilt
mechanisms, see fig 111. At the same time check the belt drive,
i.e. the belt is not 'glazing' with resin build up, likewise with
the pulley wheels. Check the belt tension, see fig 112. If the belt
is becoming slack, loosen the motor Hex bolts and push the
motor down, see fig 113. Re-tighten the Hex bolts.
Fig 111-112-113
3. Check the saw blade regularly for chipped, missing, damaged
teeth etc. and remove any resin build up from the blade, riving
knife etc, see fig 114.
4. If you have finished using the saw bench, clean above and
below the work table, wipe the saw bench over. If the saw is not
going to be used for a period of time, use 'Ambersil Dry PTFE
Film Antistick' , spray, code 952137 over the work table, blade, tilt
and rise and fall screw threads and place a dust sheet over the
saw bench.
