14. Service and Maintenance
Caution!
Before doing any maintenance and cleaning work, always switch off the machine with
the master switch. Do not use compressed air for cleaning otherwise swarf could get into
the guides.
In general
Therefore, please keep the machine clean and handle with care. Please keep in mind
that "healthy" mechanics are decisive for the quality of the working result.
The guides play a very important role here: They are important machine elements and
must be handled with special care.
Cleaning the machine after every use and the regular application of oils and lubricants is
always a part of caring for the machine.
14.3. Cleaning
For cleaning, such as swarf, please use a proper hand brush or a brush. Please make
sure that no swarf gets into the guides or other moving parts.
Of course you may use a cloth. These, however, must be lint-free to avoid contaminating
the guides.
Never blow off the machine using compressed air: Dust and above all swarf can be
blown into guides or other moving parts and damage them!
When using cleaning agents, make sure the saturated wiping cloths are disposed of in
an environmentally-compliant manner. Do not dispose of in household waste.
14.4. Lubrication
Grease or oil all parts according to the
