9. UPKEEP AND MAINTENANCE
Warning!
Before any upkeep or cleaning operation:
• Unplug the machine.
• Remove the power plug.
• Wait until the saw has stopped.
After your upkeep or cleaning operations, re-set the safety device and check that it is operating properly.
You must always replace damaged parts, especially the safety device, with genuine factory parts since parts that have not
been checked and approved by the manufacturer can cause unpredictable damage.
Only qualified staff is authorised to carry out maintenance and repair work other than the operations described in this section.

9.2 ADJUSTING THE SAWBLADE (Fig. 23)
If the sawblade is not positioned in the middle of the rubber tires, you have to adjust the tilt of the upper wheel:
1. Loosen the nut (46).
2. Tighten the set screw (47).
- Turn the set screw (47) clockwise if the sawblade is closer to the front of the saw.
- Turn the set screw (47) counter-clockwise if the sawblade is closer to the back of the saw.

9.3 ADJUSTING THE UPPER SAWBLADE GUIDE (Fig. 24 - 25 - 26)
The upper sawblade guide consists of the following parts:
• A roller (which supports the sawblade from the back)
• Two lateral rollers (which guide the sawblade laterally)
These parts have to be adjusted each time you change or adjust the sawblade.
Useful tip:
• Check the lateral rollers regularly for wear and, when necessary, replace both rollers at the same time.
