Maintaining the CC1800XL
Failure to read and comply with the maintenance instructions provided in this manual prior to performing maintenance may result in serious injuries and/or death, and may harm the saw. DO NOT attempt to perform maintenance on the saw if you are not properly trained for it, or are not supervised by an experienced person.
Refer to the CC1800XL Parts List for additional information and part diagrams when performing maintenance tasks. Refer to the engine/motor manual and manufacturer as the primary source for all safety, operations, and maintenance instructions for the engine/motor. Contact the saw and/ or engine/motor manufacturers with any additional questions.
Remove all necessary guards and access panels prior to servicing the saw. Replace prior to operating.

Note: Refer to the engine/motor manual and manufacturer for daily engine/motor care and routine maintenance tasks.
Handlebars
The handlebars generally require little or no maintenance and, when used correctly, should remain in good condition. Inspect the handlebars occasionally for bending, unusual cracks, and/or breakage. Replace them immediately when damaged.
Part Lubrication
WARNING
•DO NOT grease parts with the engine/motor running (unless stated otherwise).
Lubricating parts on schedule increases the saw’s efficiency and life. Use NLGI No. 2 premium lithium- based grease when lubricating parts. Use one to two full pumps of grease when lubricating grease fittings.
Blade Shaft
Lubricate both blade shaft bearing grease fittings at the end of the workday, or two to three times daily when dry cutting. Grease the fittings with the engine/motor running at idle (extremely low speed!). Be extremely careful when greasing with the engine/motor running to avoid entanglement. Note: If the bearings are too hot to touch after completing work, there is either a lack of grease or the belts are too tight.
Axle
Lubricate both pillow block bearing grease fittings every 40 hours of operation. Lubricate both rear wheel grease fittings every 40 hours of operation.
Drive Shaft
Lubricate both flange block bearing grease fittings every 20 hours of operation.
Adjustment Shaft
Lubricate the adjustment shaft grease fitting every 40 hours of operation.
