Maintenance Tips
-
Blade Care: Always inspect the diamond blade before and after each use. Look for signs of wear or chipping. Replace immediately if compromised to avoid uneven cuts and safety risks.
-
Water Feed System: This wet-cutting saw relies on water for cooling and dust control. Clean the water feed system regularly and check for clogs to ensure proper flow and blade life.
-
Motor Vents: Keep air vents clear of dust and debris. Use compressed air to clean the motor housing to prevent overheating.
-
Carbon Brushes: Periodically check the carbon brushes for wear. Replace them if they are worn down to the limit mark to maintain motor efficiency and extend tool life.
-
Secure All Fasteners: Check that all screws and bolts (especially around the base plate and blade guard) are tight before each use.
-
Power Cord Inspection: Look for cracks, frays, or wear on the power cord. Replace immediately if damaged to avoid electric shock or short circuits.
-
Storage: Store in a dry, cool place and avoid leaving the blade mounted during storage to reduce stress on the spindle and guard.
