Service and maintenance
The portable band saw Z 5 Ec / Z 4 Ec is designed
with a low maintenance requirement. The ball bear-
ings are greased for life.
The machine must be cleaned of dust deposits at
regular intervals. When doing so, clean the air vents
on the motor using a vacuum cleaner.
The saw blade wheels used on the machine must be
freed from resin regularly.
Only use our special grease, order number 049040
(1 kg tin), for all lubrication spots.
After a prolonged period of operation, users are rec-
ommended to have the machine checked by an
authorized MAFELL customer service shop.
5.1
Storage
If the machine is out of service for a lengthy period of
time, it should be thoroughly cleaned (see chapter 5).
Spray bright metal panels with a rustproofing agent.
Store the machine only in dry rooms, where it is pro-
tected against weathering.
