carrying out any maintenance procedure even in the case of
irregular machine operation.
Any special maintenance must be performed by certified
professionals. Do not remove parts for maintenance.
The maintenance jobs are listed below, divided into daily, weekly,
monthly and six-month intervals. If the following operations are
neglected, the result will be premature wear of the machine and
poor performance.

accumulated shavings.
•
Clean the lubricating coolant drain hole to avoid excess fluid.
•
Top off the level of lubricating coolant.
•
Check blade for wear.
•
Rise of saw frame to top position and partial slackening of

Thoroughly clean the machine to remove shavings,
especially from the coolant tank.
•
Removal of pump from its housing, cleaning of the suction
filter and suction zone.

Clean the filter of the pump suction head and the suction
area.
•
Use compressed air to clean the blade guides (guide
bearings and drain hole of the lubricating cooling).
•
Clean flywheel housings and blade sliding surfaces on
flywheels.
Monthly maintenance
•
Check the tightening of the drive wheel screws.
•
Check that the blade guide bearings on the heads are perfect
