MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying
out maintenance work or cleaning on the motor.
The Powercraft machines have been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of mainte-
nance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper machine care and regular cleaning.
Periodical maintenance to the machine prevents
unnessary problems!
•
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean in
order to prevent overheating of the motor.
•
In order to prevent damage to the motor and to
make an optimal use of an ideal cooling of the motor,
chips and dust must be removed regularly from it.
•
Do not use solvents to clean the plastic parts. Liquids
such as brake fluid, petrol, products on a paraffin
base, pickling oils etc. contain chemical substances
which can damage, corrode or destroy the plastic.
•
If the table inlay is worn out it must be replaced.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free
from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened
with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol,
alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
Clean the machine using a brush.
