Maintenance

Prior to every use
Remove all small wood chips and
saw dust from the machine with a
brush and dust pan or a vacuum
cleaner.
Check the power cord and plug for
damage and if damaged, have the
cord and/or plug replaced by a qual-
ified electrician.
Check all moving parts and make
sure that they can move freely and
smoothly across their entire ranges.
Periodically, depending on operating
conditions
Check the drive belt for wear, tear,
cracking or other damage, as well
as for proper tension and tension
(1/8" maximum play in the middle
between the pulleys).
Check all nuts, bolts and screws for
proper fit and tightness and tighten
where necessary.
Check if the sawhead assembly
returns to its starting or home posi-
tion after being released. If neces-
sary, have the springs replaced by
fully qualified and factory author-
ized personnel.

10. Tips and Tricks

For long work pieces use suitable
supports on both sides of the
machine so that the work pieces do
not bend.
Use an auxiliary fence when cutting
small work pieces.
When cutting warped or bent work
pieces, make sure that you place
the work piece so that the convex
side (i.e. the outer side of the bow)
is against the fence.
Do not cut any work piece while it is
standing on edge; always place it
flat on the rotating table.
Keep all surfaces clean. In particu-
lar, remove resin residue with a
clean cloth.
