are the consequences. How to replace the saw
blade is described in these instructions under
"Care and maintenance".
Hold the device as shown in Fig. 2 and set it
down carefully on the work piece to be sepa-
rated. Please note that the maximum dipping
depth of the saw blade is 4 mm, so that only 4
mm-thick work pieces can be separated.
Adjust the feed speed to the requirements of
the work piece material and the cutting thick-
ness. To ensure long-lasting and reliable ope-
ration, handle the device with care and do not
overload it!
8 Care and maintenance
The device is primarily maintenance free. For
a long service life, you should clean your unit
after every use with a soft cloth or brush.
The external surface of the housing can be clea-
ned using a soft, possibly moist cloth. Mild soap
or other suitable cleansers may be used as well.
Do not use solvents or alcohol-based cleansers
(e.g. benzene, cleaning alcohols, etc) as these
could attack the plastic housing casings. In any
event, make absolutely certain that no liquids
penetrate the interior of the device.
