Troubleshooting; Saw Blades - Mafell KSP 65 F Manual De Instrucciones

5.1 Machine
The machine must be cleaned of dust deposits at
regular intervals. When doing so, clean all joins and
guides as well as the air vents on the motor using a
vacuum cleaner. Spray the joints and guide pieces
with machine oil from time to time in order to main-
tain their smooth movement.
In addition it must be checked whether the retracta-
ble saw guard moves smoothly. If it does not close
automatically after having opened it, the machine
must be taken to a MAFELL customer service shop.
This should be done after a prolonged period of
operation even if there are no failures.
Only use our special grease, order number 049040
(1 kg tin), for all lubrication spots.

Saw blades

The saw blades used on the machine must be freed
from resin regularly as clean tools improve the cut-
ting quality.
For cleaning only acidfree but not highly alkaline
cleaning agents may be used.
This can be done by soaking the saw blades for 24
hours in paraffin, white spirit or commercially availa-
ble resin remover.
5.3 Storage
If the machine is out of service for a lengthy period of
time, it should be thoroughly cleaned (see
chapter 5.1). Spray bright metal panels with a rust-
proofing agent.
Store the machine only in dry rooms, where it is pro-
tected against weathering.
