Maintenance

Prior to every use
Remove saw dust and chips with
vacuum or brush.
Check power cable and power cable
plug for damage; if necessary, have
damaged parts replaced by a quali-
fied electrician.
Check all moving parts to see that
they can move freely across their
whole range of travel.
Periodically, depending on operating
conditions
Check all screwed joints, retighten if
necessary.
Check pull-back springs of the saw-
head (the sawhead must return by
spring power to its upper starting
position), replace if necessary.

10. Tips and Tricks

For long stock use suitable supports
on both sides of the saw.
When performing bevel cuts, hold
the workpiece on the right side of
the saw blade.
Use auxiliary fence when sawing
small cut-offs (this may be a suitable
board, fastened with four screws to
the fence).
When cutting warped stock, place
the convex side of the bow against
the fence.
Do not cut stock standing on edge;
always place it flat on the rotating
table.
Keep the supporting surfaces clean
– in particular, remove resin residue
with a suitable cleaning and mainte-
nance spray.
