Mantenimiento

Antes de realizar tareas de mantenimiento en la lijadora, desconéctela de la red de energía eléctrica estirando el enchufe o accionando el interruptor principal! El no cumplimiento de esta pauta puede resultar en serios daños.

Realice inspecciones periódicas o regulares para asegurar que su lijadora esté ajustada apropiadamente, que todos los tornillos estén bien ajustados, que la cinta se encuentre en buenas condiciones, que el polvo no se haya juntado en el motor o en las carcasas eléctricas y que no hayan accesorios o cableados sueltos. Si el cable de alimentación está gastado, cortado o dañado de alguna manera, reemplácelo de inmediato. Conserve la guía y las superficies de la mesa limpias y libres de aserrín.
