Scheppach Basato 3-H Vario 73190911 Operating Instructions

To change the blade, first ensure the saw is unplugged. Open the blade guard and release the tension on the blade. Carefully remove the old blade and replace it with a new one, ensuring it is properly aligned. Retighten the tension and close the blade guard before use.
To adjust the blade tension, locate the tension adjustment knob or lever. Turn it to increase or decrease tension until the blade is firm but not overly tight. Proper tension is achieved when the blade does not deflect more than 1/4 inch when pressed.
First, ensure the saw is properly plugged in and the power switch is turned on. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse. Inspect the power cord for damage. If the saw still does not start, consult a professional technician as there may be an internal electrical issue.
Regularly clean the saw by removing dust and debris from the blade, table, and motor housing using a vacuum or compressed air. Lubricate moving parts as recommended in the user manual. Keeping the saw clean prevents build-up that can affect performance.
If the blade slips, check the blade tension and adjust if necessary. Ensure the blade is appropriately sized for the saw. Inspect the wheels for wear or damage that might cause slippage. Replace any worn-out components to prevent further issues.
Blade replacement frequency depends on usage and material type. Inspect the blade regularly for wear or dullness. Replace it when cutting becomes difficult or the blade shows visible signs of wear such as missing teeth or cracks.
Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. Keep hands clear of the blade and use push sticks for small pieces. Ensure the work area is well-lit and free from obstructions. Follow all safety guidelines as outlined in the user manual.
The saw is primarily designed for wood, but with the proper blade, it can cut metal. Use a blade specifically designed for metal cutting and adjust the speed settings accordingly. Always ensure the saw is compatible with the material you are cutting.
To align the blade, first ensure the saw is unplugged. Use a square to check the alignment of the blade with the table. Adjust the blade angle and position using the saw's adjustment knobs until it is perfectly perpendicular to the table.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced blade or loose components. Check that the blade is properly tensioned and balanced. Tighten any loose bolts or screws. If vibration persists, inspect the motor and blade for faults.
