8. Care and maintenance
Cleaning the wire saw
CAUTION
Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power outlet.
CAUTION
Keep the machine, especially its grip surfaces, clean and
free from oil and grease. Do not use cleaning agents
which contain silicone.
■
We recommend that the most important parts of the
wire saw are cleaned quickly between each cut made.
Simply hose down the guide pulleys, the pulley stands
and the front as well as the wire storage section of the
drive unit.
■
All operating controls should be switched to the OFF
or NEUTRAL position prior to more thorough daily clean-
ing of the equipment. Switch off the main switch at the
control unit and disconnect the power supply plug.
■
Wash down the complete set of equipment at the end
of each working day using a hose and brush, paying spe-
cial attention to the parts mentioned above. The clean-
ing operation should be part of your daily work sched-
ule and ensures that you will be able to work efficiently
each day. If the equipment is left uncleaned even for only
one night, the guide pulleys and moving parts will become
stuck with hardened concrete slurry which will then have
to be removed in a tedious, time-consuming process,
with a risk of causing damage to the parts.
■
Do not hose down the control unit, simply wipe it
clean with a damp cloth. Use of a high-pressure steam
cleaning system is not permissible!
■
After cleaning the equipment, check the guide pul-
leys and moving parts for ease of movement. Inspect
the parts to ensure they are in good condition and the
controls are in good working order. Damaged or mal-
functioning parts must be replaced immediately in order
to avoid accidents or further costly damage.
■
At temperatures below zero (-°C), the cooling water
must be blown out of the motors after work or cleaning
is complete (open one of the two water taps at the front
and direct compressed air into the drive
unit water
supply connector
). Blow through until all water is
forced out.
8.1
Care and maintenance
■
Clean and oil all moving parts after use and, from time
to time, use a grease gun to grease the bearings of the
guides on the guide rods (see photo
). This prevents
water and dirt entering the bearings and thus avoids
unnecessary wear.
8.2
■
Check the condition of the air filter occasionally
.
It is located in the top right-hand section of the control
unit and should be cleaned or replaced as necessary.
