• Remove all possible residuals of cut materials that can cling into the rolling tracks of the cutting bridge.
• Replace as soon as possible electrical cables that cause power cuts, breaking or any other disrepair.
• If the machine is not covered, wrap it with an impermeable cloth.
• At the end of each day, unplug the machine.
• Maintenance operations should be performed by people who the machine and its functioning.
ATENCION: before performing any maintenance or cleaning operations, the electricity cable should be
unplugged.
In case you observe any anomalies or mal functioning, let a technician check the machine.
Take into account the safety recommendations mentioned in this manual.
It is prohibited to independently make any change in some parts, components or characteristics of
the machine. SIMA, S. A. shall in no case be responsible for the consequences that may derive from a
breach of these recommendations.

9.1 SUBSTITUTING A DETERIORATED DISK

The cutting disk is one of the most important elements of a cutting table. A disk in good condition is essential
to get an optimal performance of the machine. Replace it when worn-out, twisted or cracked.
Do not use any kind of disk that is not specified in this manual and make sure the disk has the required
characteristics of the maximum diameter, central drill diameter and the maximum number of revolutions supported.
Bear in mind that within the group of diamond disks, there are different types depending on the material to
cut. Choose always the most appropriate to your case.
As mentioned before, we recommend you to use always SIMA ORIGINAL DISCS that meet the technical and
safety requirements and are offered in a wide range that covers all the needs and facilitates the right choice.

9.2 ALIGNING THE DISK

the VENUS table saws leave the factory perfectly adjusted for the 0º and 45º cutting positions. If for any
reason you need to correct these positions, you have to proceed as follows:
1 Unplug the machine from electricity and remove the disk safeguard.
2 Loosen the blocking controls (P Fig. 8) from both ends and with the square located on the cutting table and
facing the front side of the disk, you need observe the parallelism of both.
3 Adjust through the screws (T Fig.9) located under the set square at each end loosening their nuts until the
front side of the disc overlaps with the vertical face of the square.
4 Tighten back the nuts of the adjusting screws once the required position has been achieved (T Fig. 9).
9.3 ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEAD´S BEARINGS
VENUS-60-85 Y 125 have a cart to glide the cutting head with bearings placed in the form of V. This system
offers a maximum stability to the cutting head. With the frequent use of the machine, it is possible to have to re-
adjust this mechanism.
Remove the switch (i Fig.10) with the screws (T Fig.10)
• Under the motor cover, there are four screws blocked by their nuts (T Fig.11) that we need to manipulate
and tighten gently, to make sure the cutting head is not moving without having to block the cart and at
same the time to slide it easily. These screws push an axis that carries 2 bearings adjusting the cart with the
rolling:
Attention: if you tighten the screws too much, you risk to damage the aluminium bridge causing an
incision where the bearings are supported. This mechanism usually needs to be adjusted with very
short turns of the screw. (T Fig.11)
Once the cutting table has been adjusted, proceed to the reverse, place the motor, bridles, disk and its
safeguard.
