5. Maintenance

The tilting cutting unit should offer a slight resistance when being
moved. Too much friction will be tiring during operation whilst too
little might cause excessive vibrations during cutting. The friction is
adjusted from the factory, but it might change during use. To adjust
the friction:
Use the socket spanner, also used for positioning the quick-

clamping device and back stop.
Adjust the friction in the bearing for the tilting cutting unit.

The stainless steel bands (available as spare parts) should be
replaced if damaged or worn.
These cut-off wheels are sensitive to humidity. Therefore, do not mix
new, dry cut-off wheels with used humid ones. Store the cut-off
wheels in a dry place, horizontally on a plane support.
The precision of diamond and CBN cut-off wheels (and thus the cut)
depends on how carefully the following instructions are observed:
Never expose the cut-off wheel to a heavy mechanical load, or

heat.
Store the cut-off wheel in a dry place, horizontally on a plane

support, preferably under light pressure.
A clean and dry cut-off wheel does not corrode. Therefore, clean

and dry the cut-off wheel before storing. If possible, use ordinary
detergents for the cleaning.
Regular dressing of the cut-off wheel is also part of the general

maintenance.
It is recommended to thoroughly clean and lubricate the
Quick Clamping Device and Vertical Clamping Device at regular intervals.
