Maintenance Between Cuts
Please perform the following maintenance actions after every 4 hours of runtime. We have
incorporated the important parts of this list within the checklist that is at the end of this section.
We provide two copies of it in order to encourage you to post it near the location of your WAZER
and ensure it is followed with every cut!
It is essential to perform these tasks routinely; more
often will not harm your WAZER but performing
them less often than every 4 hours of runtime can
lead to decreased performance or more serious
maintenance issues.
1.
Run a Tank Cleaning Cycle
The Filtration System collects abrasive from
the four corners of the Tank. However, some
abrasive can still collect in the middle of the
Tank or be biased towards one side or the
other based on where the machine was cutting
the most. To collect this abrasive, run the
Tank Cleaning Cycle from the Setup & Maintenance menu of the Control Panel. For more
information on using this mode reference Section 7: Maintenance. This procedure will help
prevent any unwanted Abrasive Clogs of the Filtration System.
We encourage you to run a Tank Cleaning Cycle to collect the excess Used Abrasive after
cuts and before turning off your WAZER for a few days. This will make sure the abrasive
pickup ports are cleared and abrasive won’t compact down on them, clogging the system up.
Additionally, it is a good idea to run a tank cleaning cycle after your WAZER has been sitting
for a set of days and before its next cut. This will loosen the excess abrasive at the bottom
of your tank and in the collection ports, making the collection system more effective during
cutting. This will help keep WAZER clean and will prevent you from needing to scoop Used
Abrasive out of the Tank by hand.
If you notice that WAZER is not collecting Used Abrasive as quickly as it should,
please perform the procedures listed in Section 7: Maintenance>Misc. Maintenance
Procedures>Clearing the Filtration System and also Section 7: Maintenance>Misc.
Maintenance Procedures>Tank Cleaning Cycle.
2.
Clean the Abrasive Hose End
The tip of the Abrasive Hose accumulates silt that can clog the line. Dunk the dry abrasive
line 1 cm into the tank to loosen the silt and flick/shake it out to make sure no water is in the
hose. Repeat this a few times before inserting the Abrasive Hose back into the Nozzle.
Make sure you insert the Abrasive Hose End far enough in so that both black O-rings are fully
seated in the Nozzle. This seal is critical to the performance of WAZER. If you see excessive
wear on the Hose End or O-rings, replace them as soon as possible. You will find a spare
Hose End O-ring in the accessory bag.
3.
Leveling the Cut Bed
•
Follow the pre-cut check step to use the add-on tool to check the levelness of Cut Bed. In
some occasion, worn Cut Bed may warp or deform after extended use.
•
Make sure the Cut Bed is level before and after every cut help to ensure the cut quality.
4.
General water seal inspection
Check if all bellow, gasket and o-rings are seated properly. If you see any water-proof
mechanisms not seated as it should be, correct them before next cut.
