8.3. Changing the rubber rings on the wheels
Each wheel is covered with a rubber ring to protect
the saw blade. These rubber rings are wear items and
must be replaced whenever necessary. The rubber
rings must therefore be examined regularly. In case of
a ‘hollow shape’ caused by abrasion (fig. 19), the
respective ring must be replaced immediately.
1. Cut the worn rubber ring (fig. 20) by using a sharp,
heated knife.
2.Warm up the new rubber ring for 10 minutes in hot
water (not boiling).
3.Press the plastic ring firmly onto the wheel, until it
sits perfectly in the groove.
Install the wheel and the housing cover and fasten it
with the 4 socket head cap screws.
8.4. Care and cleaning of the machine
W
arning!
Always disconnect the mains plug prior to cleaning
and maintenance operations.
If any part is missing or damaged, do not plug the
MICRO Band Saw in until the missing or damaged
part is replaced, and assembly is complete. To avoid
electrical shock, use only identical replacement parts
when servicing double insulated tools.
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline,
naphtha, acetone, lacquer thinner, or similar highly
volatile solvents to clean the MICRO Band Saw.
Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, or penetrating oils
to come in contact with the plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage or destroy plastics.
Turn switch OFF and always remove plug from power
source before making any adjustments or repairs.
All electrical or mechanical repairs should be done
only by qualified service technicians.
When servicing use only PROXXON replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this
MICRO Band Saw may create a hazard unless repair
is done by a qualified service technician. Repair serv-
ice is available at your PROXXON service center (You
find the address on the back of this manual)
•After working with the machine remove all chips
with a suitable hand broom, a vacuum cleaner, a
brush or compressed air— do not use your hands.
Turn off the machine before cleaning.
•Clean the machine regularly with a cloth from all dirt.
