Below 37 F (Winter) °°
Before not using the
machine for a prolonged
period of time: -Clean and lubricate all movable
parts. DO NOT GREASE THE
GUIDE RAILS.
After not using the
machine for a prolonged
period of time:
- Check that the legs are 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 fro.
- 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.
- 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, the bearing house and
water hose!
4. Loosen the fixing screws
of the pump lid.
5. Take the lid off the pump
(be careful not to damage
the gasket located inside
with a sharp object!)
6. Clean the pump lid.
7. Remove all dirt and
incrustations from the
pump wheel.
8. Check whether the pump
wheel can be easily
turned.
9. Then reassemble the
immersion pump correctly
and check whether it works
properly.
When the machine has not
been used for a long period of
time, hard packed dirt may
begin to build up inside the
pump and block the pump
wheel. If the machine is
activated with the immersion
pump blocked, the electric
motor of the pump will be
damaged within a few minutes!
Please follow the steps listed
below to clean the pump
before operating the saw.
1. Unscrew the pump filter.
2. Remove the immersion
pump from the water
container.
3. Clean the immersion
pump.
