Operating Instructions... W AXMINSTER W H I T E 1. Make sure you have read and fully understood the general instructions and safety precautions that are printed in the preceding pages of this manual. 2. Before connecting the machine to the supply; check the tool for obvious signs of damage, paying particular attention to the plug and the power cable. Rectify or have rectified any damage you discover. Check that the blade you are using is the correct one for the job in hand. Change the blade if necessary.
W Operating Instructions... AXMINSTER W H I T E 13. Do not release the tension on the saw blade when work is complete. The blades and the main saw frame do not respond kindly to constant changes in stress and tension. Only release the tension to change the blade or if the blade is to be removed because the machine is to be ‘mothballed’ for a lengthy time period. (The blade in tension over a long period of non-use will cause the tyres to develop ‘flat’ spots). ! N.B.
Routine Maintenance W AXMINSTER W H I T E Daily •Keep the machine clean. •Check the saw blade for missing teeth and cracks in the fabric. •Spray oil the bare metal surfaces. Weekly •Open the top & bottom wheel covers & clean out all saw dust. Monthly •Open the lower & upper door and check the condition of the tyres & the drive belt. •Clean impacted ‘crud’ from the tyres, apply a little oil to the screw threads of the blade and drive belt tensioners. DO NOT USE OIL near the belt.
