Attention
Avoid cleaning the machine with a high pressure washer.
Check the condition of the saw blade regularly for signs of wear or damage. When segments are worn or the width of the segments is nearly the same as the body of the blade, it should be replaced.
Check regularly that electrical cables, couplings, drive belt and screw joints are not damaged.
Check regularly that the drive belt and couplings are not dirty and that the drive belt is not tensioned too little or too much. The guard around the drive belt must be removed in order to check the drive belt tension.
Tension the drive belt, if necessary, by first loosening the nut (a), hold the nut under the base with a spanner and then turn the bolt (b) until the belt is tensioned. When the belt is tensioned, lock by screwing back the nut.

When storing the machine for long periods it must be cleaned carefully and the water tank emptied.
Periodically lubricate the nut for the blade feed. The rear of the machine must be dismantled first to gain access to the nut.
Once the rear has been removed, grease the feed screw a few centimetres above and under the nut.
Refit the rear as follows:
1.Hang the cover from the top edge.
2.Pull a part the cogs that drive the saw forwards by inserting a screwdriver between the cogs and carefully pressing the screwdriver downwards.
At the same time press the rear against the saw's chassis.
3.Refit the screws that hold the rear in position.
WARNING!
The electrical connection must be disconnected before carrying out maintenance repairs and
