Maintenance
Once cutting has been completed the machine should be
cleaned. Make sure that the electrical connection has
been disconnected before washing. Avoid spraying water
against the electric motor and electrical connections. Use
a dish-brush or sponge to clean the machine.
Attention
Avoid cleaning the machine with a high
pressure washer.
Check the condition of the saw blade regularly for signs of
wear or damage. When segments are worn or the width of
the segments is nearly the same as the body of the blade,
it should be replaced.
Check regularly that electrical cables, couplings, drive belt
and screw joints are not damaged.
Check regularly that the drive belt and couplings are not
dirty and that the drive belt is not tensioned too little or too
much. The guard around the drive belt must be removed
in order to check the drive belt tension.
Tension the drive belt, if necessary, by first loosening the
nut (a), hold the nut under the base with a spanner and
then turn the bolt (b) until the belt is tensioned. When the
belt is tensioned, lock by screwing back the nut.
When storing the machine for long periods it must be
cleaned carefully and the water tank emptied.

Periodically lubricate the nut for the blade feed. The rear
of the machine must be dismantled first to gain access to
the nut.
Once the rear has been removed, grease the feed screw
a few centimetres above and under the nut.
Refit the rear as follows:
1. Hang the cover from the top edge.
2. Pull a part the cogs that drive the saw forwards by
3. Refit the screws that hold the rear in position.
