Changing the Saw Blade
6). Check the old blade for sharpness, missing teeth, resin build up, etc., clean if necessary and send for
refurbishment/resharpening if required. If the blade is not to be re-sharpened, clean and pack away in its
storage case.

1). Keep the saw as clean and free from saw dust
build up as is practical. Periodically, remove the saw
gullet and vacuum out and clean out the saw box
and the extraction housing. Remove any resin build
up in the saw box, using a proprietary resin cleaner.
2). Clean the threaded drive shafts of the rise and fall
and tilt mechanisms. At the same time check the belt
drive, i.e. the belt is not ‘glazing’ with resin build up,
likewise with the pulley wheels. Check the belt
tension. If the belt is becoming slack, loosen the
motor hold down bolts and drive the motor
backward with its adjusting bolt.
3). Check the saw blade regularly for chipped,
missing, damaged teeth etc. and remove any resin
build up from the blade, riving knife etc.
4). If you have finished using the saw bench, clean
above and below the work table and using a damp
cloth wipe the saw bench over. If the saw bench is
not going to be used for a period of time, smear a
light coat of oil over the work table and place a dust
sheet over the saw bench.
