Cleaning

Cooling system

The machine is equipped with an efficient fan to cool the 
motor. Cooling air which is drawn in through the grille by 
the machines rear handle passes over the stator and rotor 
and out through the front of the motor housing.

In order for the machine to always be cooled sufficiently 
the cooling air openings must be kept clear and clean. 
Blow down the machine regularly with compressed air.

K 3000

K 3000 Wet

The machine can withstand taking in damp air and 
splashes during the cutting process. Clean water does 
not affect the machine’s function.

When cutting materials such as concrete or brick, which 
can contain salt, you must rinse the machine after the 
work is finished. The cleaning reduces the risk for 
accretions building up inside the engine, which can cause 
leakage current between electric components, which in 
turn can cause the ground fault circuit interrupter to turn 
off without intention.

Clean the machine daily by rinsing it with clean water 
after the work is finished.

Place the machine with the rear handle facing 
upwards. Rinse the air intakes at the rear handle with 
clean water. The water will run out through the front air 
outlets.

Connect the plug and run the engine dry for approx. 
30 sec in order to speed up the drying of the engine.

Electrical Feed

Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and in 
good condition. Never use the machine if the cord is 
damaged, hand it in to an authorized service workshop for 
repair.

!

WARNING! Inspection and/or 
maintenance should be carried out with 
the motor switched off and the plug 
disconnected.

!

WARNING! K 3000 is not equipped with 
ground fault circuit interrupter. Do not 
wash the machine with water, as water 
can enter the electrical system or the 
engine and cause damage to the 
machine or short circuit.

!

WARNING! Do not use a high pressure 
washer when rinsing the inside of the 
machine.

!

WARNING! Never use damaged cables. 
They can cause serious, even fatal, 
personal injuries.
