MAINTENANCE
Maintenance intervals
Use the following guidelines to perform maintenance on your saw.
After every use of the machine
Remove dirty water from container.
Remove dirt and mud from the bottom of the container.
Rinse the immersion pump with fresh water to prevent water pump clogging from residual dirt.
After wet cleaning and before using the machine again
Connect the machine to an electric power outlet equipped with a “GFCI” safety power breaker. If the safety power breaker cuts off the electrical power supply, do not try to operate the machine but have it checked by an authorized dealer first.
Before not using the machine for a prolonged period of time
Clean and lubricate all movable parts. DO NOT grease guide rails.
After not using the machine for a prolonged period of time
Check that the stand is safely fixed.
Check that all screw joints and nuts are fixed.
Check that the cutting table is seated properly on the guide rails and that it easily moves along the entire length of the rails.
With the saw blade removed, switch on the motor for an instant and switch it off again. If the motor does not run, have the machine inspected by a qualified electrician.
Check that the immersion pump works properly. Turn on the cooling water tap and switch the machine on. If the pump does not give any water or only a little, switch the machine off at once. Clean the pump, or replace if necessary.
Ambient temperature below 32°F / 0°C (operation in winter)
To prevent the water in the pump and cooling system from freezing, remove the water after using the machine or when there will be a long break. Make sure that the cooling system is entirely drained so that there is no water left inside the pump and water hose.
