Cleaning

1.Clean off any preservative on machine surfaces.

After cleaning:

2.Coat machined surfaces of the cutoff saw with a medium consistency machine oil. Reapply the oil coating at least every six months.

3.Clean up accumulated saw cuttings after use. Make sure the lead screw and rapid nut are kept free from saw cuttings and other material that would cause damage.

4.Clean the chip sludge from the coolant tank. The frequency should be determined by how often the saw is used.

Lubrication

Lubricate the following components at the specified frequencies and using the lubricants defined as follows:

Ball Bearings – the bearings are lubricated and sealed – periodic lubrication is not required.

Blade Guide Bearing – the bearings are lubri- cated and sealed – periodic lubrication is not required.

Upper Wheel Bushing – six to eight drops of oil each week.

Pivot Points, Shafts, and Bearing areas – six to eight drops of oil each week.

Coolant

Change coolant on a frequency appropriate to the type of coolant being used. Oil based coolants can sour. Refer to the coolant supplier’s instructions for change frequency.

The general-purpose coolant is a mixture of water-soluble oil and water. Mix one part of soluble oil to ten parts of water (one quart of oil to ten quarts water). The eleven quarts of coolant is the amount required for the coolant pump to operate properly.

There are numerous coolants on the market that are formulated for special applications. Consult your local distributor for details in the event you have a long range production task, or are required to cut some of the more exotic materials.
