Daily Continued/Service
Check List
Clean the water reservoir pan at least once a day—
twice a day in heavy cutting—and refill with clean
water. Run clean water through your saw at the end
of each day to extend the life of pumps and other
components.
Grease blade shaft bearings daily.
Never transport a masonry saw with the cutting head
in position on the frame. The severe pounding and
bouncing can knock the head out of alignment.
