MAINTENANCE
General Inspection
Cleaning and maintenance of this saw is mainly common sense some points for
guidance are as follows:
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight, particularly the outer flange.
• The mains lead of the saw and any extension cord used should be checked
frequently for damage. If damaged, have the mains lead replaced by an
authorised service facility. Replace the extension cord if necessary.
• Keep the air vents of the saw clear at all times.
• Ensure the blade guard is kept clean with a damp cloth (do not clean the guard
or any part of the saw with a corrosive solvent) to reduce the risk of injury.
• Periodically add oil all the moving parts on the saw to extend the life of the saw.
• Inspect the carbon brushes (motor) at frequent intervals (depending on the use)
and change them if the wear reaches the worn limit line or is below 10mm, they
should also be checked to ensure that the brushes move in and out easily.
Danger / Caution: Water must never come into contact with the
saw.
Do not use the abrasive disc if it is damaged.
