" check the blade cleaning brush, clean and relocate; if worn, replace;
" at the end of the working day, slacken the blade to 5 Bar = 72.5 psi (70 Kg)
tension to prevent unnecessary and damaging stress on the machine.
Weekly
This section lists all recommendations for weekly machine maintenance:
" remove all swarf;
" clean the vice and lubricate all joints and sliding surfaces with a good quality

to adjust the blade setting, follow the instructions set out in Chapter 7;
" check on blade orthogonality with respect to the workpiece rest shoulder; if
adjustment is necessary, proceed as instructed in Chapter 7;
" check that the 0˚ notchontheworktableisinlinewiththegraduationonthe
turntable; if not, readjust by regulating the 0˚ stop; then re---check that the
