Replacing The Saw Blade; Care And Maintenance - Proxxon Micro-Cutter MIC Manual De Instrucciones

Attention:
While working, make sure the work piece is
held securely! Flying work piece parts pose a
hazard!
Attention:
Never press the lock button when the device
is switched on. This would cause mechanical
damage!
Warning:
Please make sure that the saw blade is in a
perfect condition and is not worn or dam-
aged. Worn or damaged saw blades can
break or place a great load on the mechanics
while working. Risks of injuries or technical
defects are the consequences. How to re-
place the saw blade is described in these in-
structions under "Care and maintenance".
Hold the device as shown in Fig. 2 and set it
down carefully on the work piece to be sepa-
rated. Please note that the maximum dipping
depth of the saw blade is 4 mm, so that only
4 mm-thick work pieces can be separated.
Adjust the feed speed to the requirements of
the work piece material and the cutting thick-
ness. To ensure long-lasting and reliable op-
eration, handle the device with care and do
not overload it!

7 Care and maintenance:

The device is primarily maintenance free. For
a long service life, you should clean your unit
after every use with a soft cloth or brush.
The external surface of the housing can be
cleaned using a soft, possibly moist cloth.
Mild soap or other suitable cleansers may be
- 10 -
used as well. Do not use solvents or alcohol-
based cleansers (e.g. benzene, cleaning alco-
hols, etc) as these could attack the plastic
housing casings. In any event, make ab-
solutely certain that no liquids penetrate the
interior of the device.

7.1 Replacing the saw blade

Warning:
For the following steps it is imperative you
disconnect the mains plug of the device!
Attention:
Worn or damaged saw blades must be re-
placed. Risk of breakage and injuries! De-
creasing saw performance is a sure indicator
of a dull saw blade. Dull saw blades must be
replaced immediately as described further
below. We recommend the original Proxxon
replacement saw blades.
1. Carefully press the lock button 1
Please note:
Check screw 2 has a left-hand thread!
2. Using a suitable screwdriver, release and
unscrew the check screw 2. Attention: The
saw blade shaft might rotate along until
the lock button "finds" its correct position
on the shaft. This is noticeable when the
lock button engages completely at that
point. The shaft is then blocked.
3. Remove the saw blade 3. If necessary,
fold up the saw blade protection 4 a little
more.
4. Insert the new saw blade. Please note: The
saw blade is non directional, so the as-
sembly position is arbitrary.
5. Replace screw 2 and tighten.
