8. MAINTENANCE
The machine does not require any particular
lubrication because the moving parts are selfl u-
bricating.
It is a good idea to periodically check the condi-
tions of the power supply cords and replace them
if they are broken, or even worse if the internal
wires are showing.
Always keep the machine handle clean to prevent
accidental slipping when using it.
It is also important to always keep the support
surfaces and guide squares clean, possibly equip
the machine with a suction system; the machine
is already set-up with a conveyor and connection
openings.
Carefully clean the machine after use with jets of
air or a dry brush and remove any glue or other
material from the work surfaces.
To obtain excellent results it is necessary to pe-
riodically check the conditions of the blade and
have it sharpened as soon as it is necessary.
Every 100 hours of operation check the blade
rotation stop time using a simple chronometer.
If the time is over 5 seconds, carry out the
adjustment described in the paragraph below.
8.1 Adjusting the blade stop time
If the blade rotation stop time does not correspond to
the established values, adjust it as described below:
remove the motor fan cover using a screwdriver
and pulling it towards the outside.
push the motor fan L a few millimetres towards
the outside and lock the set screw at the same
time (fi g.35).
replace the motor fan cover by pushing it towards
the motor.
8.2 Adjusting the arm return spring
The correct functioning of the spring device foresees
the return of the arm to the upper position (from
end cut position) without any intervention by the
operator at a relatively contained speed in order not
to trigger the risk of an overturning.
ATTENTION! no adjustment must be car-
ried out by not suitably trained persons or
expressly authorized by Compa Tech. S.r.l.
In case the sawblade carrying arm returns to the
upper position as per above mentioned procedure,
make sure that:
the suction pipe is no obstacle to movement;
the mobile parts of the sawblade carrying arm
do not collide with the external structures (the
conditions of positioning are respected);
the suction pipe mantains its expected fl exibility;
all the mechanical parts are clean and free from
chips.
Overloading the spring could trigger unfo-
reseen and unforeseeable strains that could
lead to its collapse.
No blame can be put on Compa Tech. S.r.l. for any
improper adjustments carried out by not expressly
authorized staff.
