Cleaning
External cleaning
Cooling air intake
The machine is equipped with an efficient fan to cool the
motor. Cooling air which is drawn in through the grille by
the machines rear handle passes over the stator and rotor
and out through the front of the motor housing.
•
In order for the machine to always be cooled
sufficiently the cooling air openings must be kept clear
and clean. Blow down the machine regularly with
compressed air.
K 3000 Wet
The machine can withstand taking in damp air and
splashes during the cutting process.
When cutting materials such as concrete or brick, which
can contain salt, you must rinse the machine after the
work is finished. The cleaning reduces the risk for
accretions building up inside the engine, which can cause
leakage current between electric components, which in
turn can cause the ground fault circuit interrupter to turn
off without intention.
•
Clean the machine daily by rinsing it with clean water
after the work is finished.
•
Place the machine with the rear handle facing
upwards. Rinse the air intakes at the rear handle with
clean water. The water will run out through the front air
outlets.
•
Connect the plug and run the engine dry for approx.
30 sec in order to speed up the drying of the engine.
K 3000 Vac
Vac attachment
•
Clean off any dust that may have gathered in the Vac
attachment.
Functional inspection
General inspection
•
Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and
in good condition. Never use the machine if the cord
is damaged, hand it in to an authorized service
workshop for repair.
•
Check that nuts and screws are tight.
Carbon brushes
The carbon brushes should be replaced with new brushes
if they are worn, cracked or in any other way deformed. All
carbon brushes must be replaced when the brushes are
replaced.
•
Remove both inspection covers by loosening both
screws.
!
WARNING! Do not use a high pressure
washer when rinsing the inside of the
machine.
!
WARNING! The machine is not equipped
with a ground fault circuit interrupter. Do
not wash the machine with water, as
water can enter the electrical system or
the engine and cause damage to the
machine or short circuit.
!
WARNING! Never use damaged cables.
They can cause serious, even fatal,
personal injuries.
