12. MAINTENANCE
12.1 Foreword
Routine maintenance operations can also be performed by non-
specialised personnel provided that all safety standards specifi ed in the
relative sections of this manual are observed at all times.
12.2 Cleaning the machine
The machine should be cleaned exclusively when it is stationary.
- All power switches must be
set to "0" and plugs must be disconnected from the mains.
1. Never use compressed air; this could cause infi ltration of dust or
residue into corners.
2. Ensure that the cooling water nozzles are not obstructed.
3. In particular, it is recommended that you change the cooling water in
the tank every day.
4. Do not use detergents or lubricants.
12.3 Cleaning the tank
Clean the tank in the event of build-up of sediment on the base, or at
least once a day. Failure to clean the tank could impair operation of
the immersion pump used for circulation of the diamond blade cooling
water.
To clean out the tank, remove its plug and rinse it out with a jet of water
- take care not to direct water onto electrical equipment.
12.4 Cleaning the cooling water supply circuit
At regular intervals (or when the fl ow rate of the blade cooling water is
reduced) clean the cooling water supply circuit.To do this, disassemble
the delivery nozzle located inside the blade guard (Fig.1, Ref. E) and
clean in water.
Periodically clean the cooling water delivery line between the pump and
valve and blade guard using water.
12.5 Replacing the disc
The diamond blade is made of material that may be damaged when
subject to high temperatures, and therefore must be cooled during the
work phases.
To replace the blade, proceed as follows:
1. Block the vertical movement of the cutting head by tightening down
the handwheel (Fig.1, Ref.D).
2. Disassemble the front guard (Fig.1, Ref.E).
3. Loosen the locknut by rotating it clockwise (LH thread), using the 32
mm wrench supplied with the machine.
4. Move the cutting head forward slightly and incline to remove the blade
from its seat.
5. Ensure that there are no foreign objects between the fi xing fl ange and
diamond blade. During disassembly, avoid use of tools that could dent
or deform the fl ange.
6. Fit the new blade by proceeding in reverse order of the operation
described at point 4. Take special care to ensure the correct direction of
rotation of the diamond blade.
7. Tighten the blade locknut fully down by rotating anticlockwise (left
thread), to a torque of 40 Nm.
- Always disconnect the power plug before changing the disc.
12.6 Repairs
Repairs to the electrical installation must be performed exclusively
by specialised personnel. Use exclusively original IMER spare parts;
modifi cations to parts are strictly prohibited. The special design of the
SMART CUT 350 14" ensures that no other maintenance other than that
specifi ed above is required. Ensure that the contacts of the power plug
and plug-switch assembly are effi
immediately
- In the event of activation of the differential circuit breaker,
check the machine and arrange for repairs if necessary exclusively
by specialised personnel.
12.7 Disposal of refuse
As regards disposal of processing waste, observe all current legislation
in the country of use.

13. RESIDUAL RISKS AND SAFETY NOTICES
Although the sawing machine has been manufactured fully in compliance
with current regulations, residual risks exist that cannot be eliminated
and involve the use of appropriate individual protection devices. The
machine is equipped with notices to indicate the residual risks and how
to avoid them.
NOISE RISK
Ear protection must be worn
RISK OF INJURY TO THE HANDS
Safety gloves must be worn
RISK OF INJURY TO THE EYES
Eye protection must be worn
ABNORMAL USE RISK
Reading the manual before use is compulsory
Cutting with water is compulsory
DANGER OF CUTTING
DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION
Please be reminded that checking the use of IPDs is delegated to the
employer.
