SAW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING Saw Maintenance Maintenance Interval What to do for maintenance and care 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 water pump clogging from residual dirt. After wet cleaning and before using the machine again Connect the machine to an electric power outlet equipped with a "GFCI" 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 authorized dealer first. Before not using the machine for a prolonged period of time Clean and lubricate all movable parts. 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 roller table is in its guides and that it easily moves to and from. 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. Ambient temperature below 32 F (operation in winter) To prevent the water in the pump and cooling system from freezing, remove the water after using the machine or when there will be a long break. Make sure that the cooling system is entirely drained so that there is no water left inside the pump, water hose and bearing housing! Trouble Shooting Problem Possible Cause Solution ...

SAW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING rail should be replaced Typically a bowing displacement of up to 0.008” (0.2mm) will not a0ect cutting accuracy. Rail Straightness b. If the straight edge touches both edges of the blade initially, but shifts apart as the table travels along the rail, proceed to method 2 below 6.

SAW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING Method 2 This procedure corrects another source of misalignment that occurs when the table’s orientation is not parallel with the guide rails. 1. Lift the saw up from the water tray and place it on a flat level surface. Use the universal wrench to loosen (but not remove) the fasteners from either end of both guide rails.
Page 41
SAW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING 2. Remove rubber cap A on the left side of the table (see Figure: Cap Locations). Loosen the exposed lock nut using a 13 mm socket wrench. Use a flat screwdriver to turn the shaft of the roller clock- wise to lower it by approximately 3/8" (9.5mm). (See Figure: Cap Locations) Evenly lift the table up to disengage the guide rollers from the operator’s left side guide rail.
SAW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING Roller and Shim 4. After adding shim(s), mount the table onto the guide rails by reversing the instructions in step 2. Move the rails toward each other to engage the horizontal rollers to the right guide rail as shown in figure 10.
