BD10 OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
PRE-START INSPECTION
Place the BD10 Trim Saw on a flat surface such as a bench top or table. Set the toggle power switch to the
MIDDLE/OFF position (Fig. 1).

1/4"
Prior to operating the BD10 Trim Saw, ensure the sludge plug is secure. Then you must fill the oil reservoir so
that the lubricant fluid covers the bottom 1/4" of the blade (Fig. 2). 0.31 gallon of oil will adequately cover the
bottom of a 10” blade and 0.62 gallon will be sufficient for an 8” blade. Do not overfill the oil reservoir as excess
fluid will result in unnecessary spraying of fluid while sawing and possibly cause damage to the arbor and motor.
Periodically, check the oil level and add oil as some oil is lost due to misting and evaporation while sawing.
To add lubricant, loosen wingnut under table on the table lock down rod. Remove washer (Fig. 3). Ensure wingnut
is aligned with slot (Fig. 4). Lift table up. Ensure sludge plug is securely pushed in before filling (Fig. 5).
NOTE:
FILL RESERVOIR
The blade is manufactured to cut in either a petroleum, mineral or synthetic water soluble oil saw
lubricant. Although water can be used with the BD10 Trim Saw, it is not recommended as the steel
arbor shaft can rust. In addition, poor sawing performance and short blade life can result. If water
must be used, it is recommended that a rust inhibitor such as Tool Cool (8 oz. Tool Cool to 1 gallon
water) be added.
