Install leveling bolts in each saw leg.
Adjust bolts in or out as necessary until saw is level.
FILLING GEAR BOX

Add entire contents of oil container to gear box.
Replace plug on gear box.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Make sure all Switches on the Control Box are in the OFF position and the hood is closed.
Plug the Saw Power Cord into a grounded outlet
COOLANT
We recommend LORTONE Cutting Oil #086-010 for optimal results.
Use a neutral petroleum base oil with a high ash point and no additives.
Add approximately 3 gallons of coolant until the bottom 1/2”-3/4” of the blade is covered.
BLADE CARE & DRESSING
YOU MUST DRESS THE BLADE PRIOR TO INITIAL USE.
Clamp a Blade Dressing Stick in the vise. With the hood closed and the saw running, make several cuts
through the stick. Repeat as needed.
Dress the blade frequently. Dull or glazed blades will quickly dish or warp.
Note: Dished or warped blades are not covered under warranty.
