GENERAL MACHINE CARE
• Routinely check the condition of the power supply cords and replace
them if they are broken, worn or if internal wires are showing.
• Use a brush and a shop vacuum to remove chips and other debris from the machine.
• Always keep the machine hand grip clean to prevent accidental slipping during use.
• Remove the processing residues from the cutting area and the blade guides whenever necessary.
• If you do not intend to use the sawing machine for a long time, clean it and put it in a dry place if possible. In
these cases, it is advisable to make sure the blade stays slack so that it is not kept under tension during storage for
any reason.
• To ensure effective machine operation, check the condition of the blade daily. Sharpen it as necessary.
