6 Maintenance
6.1 General
Clean the machine after it has been used and provide rust protection by applying a protective oil.
Regularly remove the chips which gather underneath the vice jaws. In doing so use a thin, flat brush and
NEVER an air jet.
The gears, the worm and the worm gear are subject to wear. The moment the replacement of these
parts is due, depends on the usage. You can order a complete set, including instructions for disassembly
and assembly from your dealer. This kit is available from stock.
Regularly clean the coolant tank. This will considerable lengthen the life of the pump.
Check the condition of the oil filter in the cooling circuit, If the filter is severely polluted, it needs to be
cleaned or replaced.
Check the oil level in the saw head every week.
Check the oil level of the saw feed tank and refill if necessary (see chapter 6.3).
Check the oil bowl and the water separator every day. Refill the oil bowl with BP HLP 15 or a type of the
same quality.
Remove the water from the water separator of the air unit. With the PK-versions the glass can be
screwed off.
6.2 Lubrication
The gear box with the gear parts must be rinsed clean at least once per six months, depending on the
use of the machine. Loosen the plug at the bottom of the saw head and drain the oil, Rinse the unit with
petroleum and drain it thoroughly. Fill the unit with BP GRXP 680 (ISO); the 350-series with 1.1 litre.
Check the oil level on the sight-glass. If the saw head gets too hot while used continuously, the oil level in
the saw head may be too high.
Once every three months the grease nipples of the pivots of
the saw head must be greased with a universal grease.
The 350 and SCO-version has one grease nipple (fig. 6.03).
The threaded spindle, the guide rods of the material vice
and the guides of the machine bed must be oiled regularly.
