DUST EXTRACTION
WARNING! Always make sure that the tool is switched
off and unplugged before fitting or removing any dust
extraction device.
In order to attach the bag for dust, place it in the suction
nozzle N of the machine.
In order to empty the dust bag, withdraw nozzle N and
open the bag in order to empty the dust.
Dust extraction keeps the workplace clean, prevents
dust build-up in the air and facilitates waste elimination.
A universal vacuum cleaner may be fitted or any dust
extraction device.
CAUTION: Always use a vacuum extractor designed in
accordance with the applicable Guidelines on sawdust
emission. The flexible hoses of conventional vacuum
cleaners fit directly onto the dust extraction nozzle.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories and their corresponding order number can
be found in our catalogues.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
WARNING! Always unplug the machine before carrying
out work on it.
- Checking the saw blade: Deposits of resin and glue
on the saw blade cause inefficient cutting. To avoid
them, always clean the blade immediately after use.
- Inspect the mounting screws: Regularly inspect all
the mounting screws and ensure they are firmly tighte-
ned. Should any screw be loose, tighten it immediate-
ly. Failure to do so could put you at serious risk.
- Motor maintenance: Always take the greatest care
over this and make sure that the motor winding is not
damaged and does not become wet with oil or water.
- The vents should always be kept clean and free of
obstacles.
- Clean the machine thoroughly after each use. Blast the
motor regularly with compressed air.
- Check that the mains lead is in good condition. If
it is not, take it to an Official Service Centre to
have it replaced.
- Brush replacement: Brushes must be replaced
when length reaches 8 mm or less. To do so, please
contact an authorized after sales service center. We
recommend that every other time you take a tool to
an after sales service center for carbon brushes re-
placement you also order a general maintenance
(cleaning and lubrication).
- Use only Casals accessories and spares. Parts the
changing of which is not covered in this instruction
manual, should be replaced in a Casals Official Ser-
vice Centre (See Warranty/Official Service Centre
address leaflet).
