• All protective and safety equipment must be rein-
stalled immediately upon completion of any repair or
maintenance work.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
The regular maintenance decribed above and in the para-
graph below can be carried out by unskilled personnel.
• Do not oil the plunge cut saw, cause cutting must be
carried out in dry conditions; all rotating parts are
self-lubricating.
• During maintenance, wear protective gear if possible
(accident-prevention goggles and gloves).
• Remove cuttings when necessary both from the cutting
area, work surfaces and support bases.
Use of an aspirator or brush is recommended.
ATTENTION:
Do not use compressed air jets!
• Regularly check blade conditions: if difficulties should
arise during cutting, have it sharpened by skilled per-
sonnel or replace it if necessary.

Possible Cause
Help
The motor does not run. Faulty motor, power supply cable or plug.
Burned out fuses.
Have the machine checked by skilled person-
nel. Do not try to repair the machine yourselves
as it may be dangerous. Check the fuses and
replace them if necessary.
The motor starts slowly
and does not reach run-
ning speed.
Low power supply voltage. Damaged windings.
Burned out capacitor.
Ask for the Electricity Board to check the
voltage available. Have the machine motor
checked by skilled personnel. Have the capaci-
tor replaced by skilled personnel.
Excessive motor noise.
Damaged windings. Faulty motor.
Have the motor checked by skilled personnel.
The motor does not
reach full power.
Overloaded circuit due to lighting, utilities or
other motors.
Do not use other utilities or motors on the cir-
cuit to which the plunge cut saw is connected.
Motor overheats easily
Overload of the motor; inadequate cooling of
the motor
Prevent overloading the motor when cutting;
remove dust from the motor to ensure an opti-
mum cooling of the motor
The saw cut is rough or
wavy
The saw blade is dull; the tooth shape is not
suited to the thickness of the material
Re-sharpen the saw blade or use an appropri-
ate saw blade
The work piece rips or
splinters
The cutting pressure is excessive or the saw
blade is not suited to the application
Use the correct saw blade
