WARNING!
It is essential for all maintenance operations to be
performed with the motor off and the machine
unplugged from the power supply.

not require any particular maintenance operations. It is
however important to remember the following:
·Clean the machine and the work area regularly.
·Use saw blades with teeth that are suitable for the
materials to be cut; this ensures optimum cutting
results. Your saw blade supplier can provide you with
helpful advice.
·Replace the saw blade when it is worn, in order to avoid
vibrations and inaccurate cuts.
·Clean the coolant tank when necessary, or at least,
twice a year, through the special opening on the tank
itself.
·Check the cooling pump regularly.
·Ensure that the safety guard completely covers the
blade.
