Brush inspection
Check the carbon brushes after the first 50 operating hours with a new machine, or when new brushes have been fitted. After carrying out the first check, repeat the check every 10 operating hours.
If the carbon is worn to a length of 6 mm, or if the spring or contact wire are burned or damaged, it is necessary to replace both brushes. If the brushes are found to be usable following removal, it is possible to reinstall them.

Storage

Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children. The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and 30˚C. Store the electrical tool in its original packaging. Cover the electrical tool in order to protect it from dust and moisture.
Store the operating manual with the electrical tool.

Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready for operation. The connection complies with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer‘s mains connection as well as the extension cable used must also comply with these regulations.

Important information
In the event of an overloading the motor will switch itself off. After a cool- down period (time varies) the mo-tor can be switched back on again.

Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged.
This may have the following causes:

• Passage points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.

Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life- threatening due to the insulation damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does not hang on the power network during the inspection. Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap-plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables with the marking „H05VV-F“.
The printing of the type designation on the connection cable is mandatory.

Troubleshooting

inspection of the machine by a specialist. Never repair the motor yourself. Danger! Check fuses and replace as necessary
The motor starts up slowly and does not reach operating speed.| Voltage too low, coils damaged, capacitor

burnt

| Contact the utility provider to check the voltage. Arrange for inspection of the motor by a specialist. Arrange for replacement of the capacitor by a

specialist

Motor makes excessive

noise

| Coils damaged, motor defective| Arrange for inspection of the motor by a specialist
The motor does not reach its full power.| Circuits in the network are overloaded (lamps, other motors, etc.)| Do not use any other equipment or motors on the same circuit
Motor overheats easily.| Overloading of the motor, insufficient cooling of the motor| Avoid overloading the motor while cutting, remove dust from the motor in order to ensure optimal

cooling of the motor

Reduced cutting power

when sawing

| Saw blade too small (ground too much)| Readjust end stop of the saw unit
Saw cut is rough or

wavy

| Saw blade dull, tooth shape not appropriate for the material thickness| Resharpen saw blade and/or use suitable saw blade
Workpiece pulls away

and/or splinters

| Excessive cutting pressure and/or saw blade not suitable for use| Insert suitable saw blade
