Note: The lower blade guard is designed to be pushed (rotated)
out of the way at the start of a cut by lifting the blade guard
retraction lever (6) to start this rotation may help when cutting
certain materials. (Fig.18)
When a cut has been completed:
•
Release the ON/OFF Trigger switch.
•
Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
•
Remove the machine from the workpiece allowing
the lower blade guard to return to its normal position
covering the blade.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Note: All maintenance must be carried out with the machine
switched off and disconnected from the power supply.
•
Check that all safety features and guards are operating
correctly on a regular basis. Only use this machine if all
guards/safety features are fully operational.
•
All motor bearings in these machines are lubricated for
life. No further lubrication is required.
•
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean the plastic parts
of the machine. Do not use solvents or similar products
which could damage the plastic parts.
WARNING: Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through openings in the machine's casings etc.
The machines air vents should be cleaned using compressed
dry air.
Note: The operator should employ all necessary PPE when
using compressed dry air as a cleaning medium.
GLASS VIEWING WINDOW
Clean the viewing window as required using a damp cloth or
a proprietary glass cleaning medium. Do not use any abrasive
materials as these may damage or scratch the glass.
DEBRIS BUILD-UP (UPPER BLADE GUARD)
During a blade change the opportunity to check for any debris
build up within the upper blade guard should be taken. Any
such debris found should be removed using a suitable tool
(possibly plastic or wooden) which will remove the debris
without damaging the interior of the blade guard.
WARNING: Suitable PPE should be worn by the operator
when carrying out this task. Any removed debris must be
disposed of in a safe and environmentally responsible way.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with
household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check
with your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.
