xvii. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL RULES
• Always clean the machine before maintenance/ repair.
• Before cleaning/maintenance/repair, the machine must
be switched off with the main power key.
STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN CLEANING
1. Please do not use aggressive cleaners (i.e. containing
solvents). Do not use high-pressure water jets,
aggressive detergents or solutions and liquids with a
temperature exceeding 86°F Use a fluff-free cloth only.
2. Use a cloth which may be lightly moistened only for
removing dust and dirt. Hard packed dirt can be
removed with a soft brush.
3. For the sake of safety, no water/cleaning liquid/vapor
may penetrate into the electric motor, connectors
/plugs, switches, etc. Therefore cover all apertures,
holes in the housing, connectors or plugs, etc. or seal
them with adhesive tape.
4. Use a soft, low-pressure water jet and a brush to rinse
dirt and incrustations away. Be particularly careful
when near hazardous parts of the machine (e.g.
switch, motor). Clean the motor and switches only by
wiping with a moist cloth.
5. Do not "rinse" the bearings of the drive elements to
prevent them from running dry. The ball bearings of
the machine are permanently lubricated.
6. After cleaning, remove all covers and adhesive tape All
screws/nuts which you may have loosened must be
tightened again.
7. After wet cleaning, plug the machine to a power outlet
which is equipped with a ground fault current
interrupt. If the device cuts power, the machine must
be inspected by an authorized dealer prior to use!
AFTER EVERY USE OF THE SAW:
• Remove dirty water from container.
• Remove dirt and mud from the bottom of the
container.
• Rinse the immersion pump with fresh water to prevent
water pump clogging from residual dirt.
AFTER WET CLEANING AND BEFORE
USING THE SAW AGAIN:
• Connect the machine to an electric power outlet
equipped with a "GFCI” safety power breaker. If the
safety power breaker cuts off the electrical power
supply, do not try to operate the machine but have it
checked by an authorized dealer first.
BEFORE & AFTER A
PROLONGED TIME
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 rolling on the rails and
that it moves securely back and forth. 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 valve if applicable and switch the machine on.
If the pump does not give any water or only a little,
switch the machine
TEMPERATURE CHANGES
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE BELOW 37 F (WINTER)
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 the water hose.
For your safety before performing any maintenance on the saw, turn off the power switch
and unplug the power cord.
