As Needed
Properly maintaining the mast track surfaces and the track rollers is critical in preventing corro-
sion that can cause pitting and scaling on the rail surfaces. Pitted and scaled surfaces can, in
turn, cause rough cuts or jerky forward/backward movement of the sawhead.
Keep mast track surfaces free of rust. Formation of rust on the mast track
surfaces can cause rapid deterioration of these surfaces.
1. Clean track rails to remove any sawdust and sap buildup every eight hours of operation.
Use a light-grade sandpaper or emery cloth to sand off any rust or other adhering particles from
the rails
2. Lubricate the rails by wiping them with Dexron III ATF transmission fluid.
3. Remove sawdust from the track roller housings and brush any sawdust buildup from the hous-
ings every twenty-five hours of operation.
4. Make sure the track wipers touch the track surfaces and are free of sawdust buildup.
