9. EXHAUST OUTLET
On the rear side of the machine a nozzle (diameter 80
mm) is provided, which can be connected to a hose
for fitting to an industrial vacuum cleaner or other
type of central vacuum system to collect chips and
sawdust. Furthermore, the machine is also equipped
with a Vacuum Adaptor that allows it to be connected
to most vacuum models available on the market.
Connection to ours vacuums AS182K, AS282K is
especially recommended.
For work on the upper table, and in addition to the
connection mentioned above, the fairing is provided
with a nozzle D2 (Fig. 5) to which the standard dust
collector attachment (Ref. 6446073) must be con-
nected for perfect collection of the shavings.
It is recommended that the machine always be con-
nected to a chip and sawdust collection device.

11. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

ATTENTION! Make sure that the unit is disconnected
from the electric mains before handling in any way.

11.1 CHANGING THE SAW BLADE

Place the swivelling head in the rest position for the
cutting off mode. For models TM72C and TM73C,
use knob T (Fig. 4) to raise the upper table as much
as possible. Remove the screws K1 and take off the
cover M1 (Fig. 8). Place one of the Allen wrenches
provided in screw E1 (Fig. 21) which holds the blade
and the other in the housing located on rear cover F1
(Fig. 22). Loosen screw E1 in the clockwise direction.
Once the saw blade is loosened, remove this screw
and the plate holding the blade, separate it from its
shaft and raise it slightly to free it from its protective
covers. It can then be removed.
Perform the reverse operation to mount a new saw
blade, placing the arrow of the blade in the same direc-
tion as the one on the outside cover of the rocker arm.
Make sure that all the housings of the elements to be
mounted are very clean and that the outer bridge plate
fits perfectly into the offset at the end of the shaft.

In models TS72C and TS73C, loosen screws "A" (Fig.
25) and move the upper protector upwards. Then
proceed to change the blade, following the same
instructions as for models TM72C and TM73C.
ATTENTION!
- Before using the machine once more, ensure that all pro-
tectors are in position and in a perfect state of repair.
-Make sure that the new saw blade mounted is the
same diameter as the one replaced.
-Do not use saw blades that are damaged or warped.
-Select the saw blade type on the basis of the mate-
rial to be cut.
-Use only saw blades that meet the specifications
contained in this manual. Always make sure that
the blade body is thinner than the thickness of the
keel (2.5 mm) and that the teeth are thicker than this
thickness.

11.2 MOTOR BRAKE

The machine is equipped with an electromechani-
cal brake module that ensures that the saw blade is
completely stopped within ten seconds after the stop
button (red button) is activated.
For your personal safety, we recommend that the Of-
ficial VIRUTEX Technical Support Service be contacted
for replacement of the braking device whenever this
time appears to be longer.
For your safety, we recommend that when you observe
that the stoppage time of the blade is higher than this
margin due to the pads being worn down, you contact
an Official VIRUTEX Technical Support Service in
order to replace them.
We recommend that you check the braking time after
every 200 hours of work.
11.3 LUBRICATION AND CLEANING
The unit, as delivered, has been completely lubricated
in the factory and does not require any special care
through-out its useful life. Periodic cleaning and greasing
of the mechanical articulations with oil is sufficient.
It is important to carefully clean the machine after each
use with dry compressed air.
The power supply should always be kept in perfect
conditions for use.
