Maintenance Tips
-
Blade Inspection: Regularly check the abrasive blade for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace the blade when it becomes worn or compromised to maintain optimal cutting performance.
-
Motor Maintenance: Clean the motor housing and air vents to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating. Monitor the motor for unusual noise or vibrations, which may indicate a need for servicing.
-
Lubricate Moving Components: Apply lubricant to pivot points, bearings, and other moving parts to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
-
Check and Tighten Fasteners: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and clamps, tightening any that have loosened to maintain the structural integrity of the saw.
-
Debris Removal: After each use, clean the saw’s cutting area, blade, and motor housing of metal shavings, dust, and other debris to prevent buildup that could impair performance.
-
Inspect Safety Features: Ensure that all safety guards and shields are intact and functional. Replace any damaged or worn components to ensure safe operation.
-
Electrical Connection Check: Inspect the 3-phase power connections and wiring for any signs of damage, wear, or fraying. Replace damaged components to prevent electrical hazards.
-
Verify Blade Speed: Ensure the saw is operating at the correct speed for the abrasive blade, as using the wrong speed can result in poor cuts or damage to the saw.
-
Inspect Cutting Angle: Regularly check the mitre adjustments for accuracy to ensure precise cutting at various angles.
-
Proper Storage: When the saw is not in use, store it in a dry, clean location, away from moisture and dust, to prevent rust and other forms of deterioration.
