Changing Brushes; Optional Accessories; Maintenance - Virutex SRI174T Gebrauchsanweisung

Always place the machine with the edge
of the base against a fixed edge, in order
to prevent backlashes.
• Turn on the machine, press slowly downwards until
you reach the adjusted cutting depth and move forward
smoothly, never sharply, in the cutting direction.
Marks I (Fig. 5) located on the protection cover show
the edges and the centre of the saw blade at its maxi-
mum cut depth.
12. GUIDE RAIL FOR PARALLEL CUTS
Guide rails, available in lengths of 800 mm and of 1400
mm, enable you to make precise and clean cuts, as
well as protecting the surface of the material against
possible damage.
The guide rails are fitted with a splinter protector P
(Fig. 11) which must be cut to size before being used
for the first time:
• Place the machine at the rear end of the guide rail.
• Turn the saw on and press downwards to the set cut
depth and cut the whole length of the splinter protector
without deviation.
• The edge of the splinter protector coincides exactly
with the edge of the cut.
ADJUSTING THE MACHINE ON THE RAIL:
The machine is equipped with adjustment knobs J (Fig.
8) which enable you to eliminate gaps between the
machine channel and the guide rail.
FASTENING THE RAIL TO THE MATERIAL:
With G-clamps, (optional accessory. 2-item set, ref.
6045710):
We recommend using G-clamps to fasten the rail to
the material.
Insert a G-clamp in the slot of the rail at each end,
move them closer to the material and fasten it at the
edges (Fig. 9).
With suction pads, (optional accessory. 2-item set, ref.
7445819):
The rail can also be fixed to the material with which
you wish to work by using the suction pads, although
only when the surface of the material is flat, smooth
and non-porous, such as melamine-coated or smooth
layered surfaces.
We recommend fitting the two suction pads on the rail,
near each edge of the material.
The suction pad works by pressing it down onto the sur-
face to which it is to be attached and moving the central
lever to the horizontal position, as shown (Fig. 10).
The suction pads are specially designed for fixing
templates during routing or sawing jobs. If the work
is carried out non-continuously, with long breaks in
between, it will be necessary to check the suction of
the pads before resuming work.
SAWING WITH A GUIDE RAIL:
Place the machine at the beginning of the guide rail,
switch on the machine, press downwards slowly until
you reach the adjusted cutting depth and move forward
smoothly, never suddenly, in the cutting direction.

13. CHANGING BRUSHES

Disconnect the machine from the mains
before performing any operation.
Brushes should be changed when they have a minimum
length of 6 mm.
To replace them:
Remove the 4 screws holding motor cover L (Fig. 6) and
remove the cover.
Take out the brushes from each brush-holder with
tweezers or pliers.
Remove the screw K (Fig. 7) fastening them, and replace
them with new ones.
Replace the motor cover L (Fig. 6) with the 4 screws.

15. MAINTENANCE

Make sure that blade guard moves freely and that it
automatically slides over the saw blade. Check blade
guard travel before use when plug is withdrawn.
Motor housing vent slots must be kept clean. Blow out
slots from time to time.
Change carbon brushes when required. Brush length
must be at least 6 mm. Have saw serviced only at
authorized VIRUTEX service centers. Use only original
VIRUTEX spare parts.
