Maintenance

Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or service work disconnect the mains

power plug!

General Maintenance Measures

•Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the

equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

•We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

•Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or

solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the

device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

•In order to extend the service life of the tool, oil the rotary parts once monthly. Do not oil the motor.

Saw Blade Change

Danger! Risk of injury, even with the band saw blade at standstill. Wear gloves when

changing blades.

Use only suitable band saw blades.

1. Loosen the 2 knurled screws and remove the U shape blocker.
