NOTICE

See the engine manual supplied with your machine for appropriate engine maintenance schedule and troubleshooting guide for problems.

General maintenance practices are crucial to the performance and longevity of your saw. The extreme environments of sawing operations require routine cleaning, lubrication, belt tensioning, and inspection for wear and damage

The following procedures devoted to maintenance can prevent serious saw damage or malfunctioning.

DANGER

Some maintenance operations may

require the engine to be run. Ensure that

the maintenance area is well ventilated. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can cause of unconsciousness and

may result in DEATH.

WARNING

NEVER place hands or feet inside the belt guard or blade guard while the engine is running.

Before servicing or inspection, ALWAYS park the saw on a level surface with the blade removed, and the handlebar Engine ON/OFF switch and Engine ON/OFF switch in “OFF” position.

„„Removing or installing blades „„Adjusting front or rear pointers „„Lubricating any components „„Removing engine mounting bolts

„„Inspecting, adjusting or replacing drivebelt, spindle, spindle bearings or any engine part

„„Removing blade or belt guards

CAUTION

ALWAYS allow the engine to cool before servicing. NEVER attempt any maintenance work on a hot! engine.

Front Pointer Adjustment

The front pointer wheel has been set at the factory. Use these procedures only if the pointer is suspect of being out of alignment.

1.Chalk out a straight line on the prepared slab or cutting surface.

2.Use a straight-edge or level by placing it flat against the blade.

3.Adjust the front pointer wheel so it just touches the side of the straight-edge or level.

4.Remove the straight-edge or level.

5.Position the front pointer and blade directly over the chalk line.

6.Start the saw and lower the blade onto the chalk line.

7.Begin cutting and make sure the blade follows the chalk line as closely as possible.

8.The pointer should follow the chalk line as well. If it does not, adjust the pointer by loosening then tightening the jam nuts on the pointer until the pointer follows the same path as the blade.

Chassis Lubrication

„„Spindle Bearings - Two zerk fittings are located up under the lower-front of the saw. Lubricate before daily use. Use a good quality extreme pressure grease. Check and lubricate more often if unit is under heavy use. Do not overfill bearings. Overfilling can damage the grease seals. This can result in bearing exposure to dirt and contaminants which can then shorten the life of the bearings. Excess grease can also drip onto the cutting

surface.

General Cleanliness

Clean the machine daily. Remove all dust and slurry build up. If the saw is steam cleaned, ensure that lubrication is accomplished AFTER steam cleaning operations.
