MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW

This section describes the daily, weekly, monthly and semi- annual maintenance schedules that should be performed when changing materials or lines, or when changing equipment, as well as the maintenance procedures to follow.

Cutting either flexible or rigid materials generates tremendous shock and vibration to the entire unit. Anything that can loosen, will over time.

To maintain the best performance, follow this maintenance schedule and develop an effective preventative maintenance program.

SCHEDULE

●Daily

❒Checking saw blade(s)

Clean, sharpen or replace as needed (see Section 4, Blade Replacement.)

❒Inspecting the blade mounting hardware

The blade securing bolt should use both a lock washer and flat washer, and be tightened enough to fully com- press the lock washer. Replace the holding pins if they appear worn.

❒Inspecting the the saw product guides for wear and alignment.

❒Inspecting saw alignment

Proper saw alignment is critical for optimum perfor- mance. Use a plumb line or laser to check for a straight line from the extrusion die to the saw bush- ings.

❒Check floor locks

It is always recommended that the weight be removed from the casters for optimum stability during cutting cycles. Check to see if the floor locking mechanism is properly adjusted.
