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.
