20-1 MACHINE CLEANING
A good maintenance ensures the long life and the best performance of the machine.
The general cleaning of the machine as well as of surrounding floor is an important safety factor.
Note:
If you stop the machine to carry out some adjustment or to take off a machine part, turn main switch to zero
and indicate so with a sign, then lock the main switch.
Every evening at the end of work carefully clean the table, cutterblock, anti kickback fingers and the cavities
where you can see dust and chips with compressed air.
Make sure that the motor housing is free from chips.
20-2 LUBRICATION
All bearings of the machine are sealed and lubricated for life, therefore they do not need any lubrication.
Weekly oil the chain which transmits the motion to the feed rollers.
Monthly oil the chain for table lifting.
20-3 REMOVAL - STORING - DEMOLITION
Disconnect machine from mains to remove it. Follow instructions given previously for lifting the machine.
If the machine is to remain unused for some time, disconnect it from mains, thoroughly clean it as described above
and protect worktables and cutterblock from rust. Do not store the machine in a damp environment. The machine
has been manufactured using materials which are not toxic. In case of demolition separate the metal parts from
the plastic ones.
20-4 EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
If flooding of the working environment occurs, immediately shut off electric power. Before staring to work
again, the machine must be checked by a skilled technician.
If there is a fire immediately shut off electric power and use fire extinguisher at the base of the flame.
Even if it seems that the machine has not undergone any damage, it must be checked by a skilled technician before
starting work again.
As already stated in par. 1-7 there must be sufficient space around the machine to enable the operator to quickly
get away in case of danger.
Once again it is underlined that the machine must not work in an environment where explosives are stored.
