Routine Maintenance
39
• Keep the saw as clean and free from saw dust
build up as practical.
• Periodically, unlock the sliding table and push to
one side and remove the inner guard to gain
access to the saw mechanism. Raise the saw
blade to it’s highest point, remove the saw blade
guard and blow, brush or vacuum out the saw
inner workings, using a proprietary resin cleaner.
• Check the saw and scoring saw blades regularly
for chipped, missing, damaged teeth etc. and remove
any resin build up from the blade/s, riving knife etc.
• After several months of constant use the condition
of the chains, sprockets, tension of the drive belts
and the threaded drive shafts of the rise and fall tilt
mechanisms will need to be checked; that may
require a service engineer to oversee the job.
If you find that the machine is not performing as
it should please contact our “Specialist After Sales
Team” by phone on 03332 406 406 or visit our
website at axminster.co.uk.
• If the “Panel Saw” is not going to be used for a period
of time, spray a light coat of oil over the table surface
and blades that will help prevent rust.
