Saw blades

The saw blades used on the machine must be freed
from resin regularly as clean tools improve the cut-
ting quality.
For cleaning only acidfree but not highly alkaline
cleaning agents may be used.
This can be done by soaking the saw blades for 24
hours in paraffin, white spirit or commercially availa-
ble resin remover.
