Repair Techniques for the Alpha AWS-125

For many construction workers, a working Alpha AWS-125 (more commonly known as a wet stone cutter) can be a vital tool as you look to shape and scythe through all types of stone. Yet, if the unit is not working properly, then any advantages of this tool suddenly dissipate. Thankfully, there are a couple of repairs you can try before you have to consider calling in the experts to salvage your unit.

Things You'll Need

22 mm spanner
T-handle wrench

Instructions

- 1
  Fix any perennial overheating issues by using a damp cloth to thoroughly clean off any standing water or stone dust on the ʂ57;eld coil, carbon brushes and bearings. Such an affliction can affect air flow and cause overheating.
- 2
  Inspect the key components of your unit visually and thoroughly on a regular basis. Look for chips or other damage on your power cord, GFCI and Saw Blade. If any damage is present, then have the faulty component replaced to return your saw to working order.
- 3
  Cure excess vibrations by properly tightening the bolt that helps secure the blade in place. Turn the bolt counterclockwise to secure, and once it is hand-tight, use a 22-mm spanner wrench to hold Flange II in place; then ʂ57;nish tightening the ʂ58;ange bolt with a T-handle wrench.
