Installation
Tools Needed:
• Large Standard Screwdriver, Phillips Screwdriver, Utility Knife
WARNING Equipment Damage: The 7-inch Trim Saw weighs approximately 28 lbs (13 kg). Fol-
low safe practices to lift the unit from the shipping carton. Improper lifting can result
in machine damage.
Personal Injury: Improper lifting of the 7-inch Trim Saw can result in personal injury.
The BD7 has been shipped from the factory thoroughly inspected and tested.
Select a location for your saw that provides an adequate working space and a power source.
1. Remove the crating material from the baseboard and around the saw with screwdrivers and
utility knife.
1. Ensure unit is unplugged.
2. Place the 7-inch Trim Saw on a flat surface such as a bench or table.
3. Remove wing nut and lift table open. (Figure 3)
4. Fill the reservoir (Figure 4) approximately 1/3 gallon (1.3 liter) for 7" blade, 1/2 gallon (1.9 liter) for 6"
blade of cutting lubricant to adequately cover the bottom of the blade. See Figure 5 for proper level.
5. Replace the table and secure with wing nut.
Before operating the BD7, fill the reservoir so the lubricant fluid covers the bottom 1/4" (6.35 mm) of
the blade. Be sure the sludge plug is pressed in.
Adding Lubricant
BD7 ASSEMBLY
Equipment Damage: Do not overfill the reservoir. Excess fluid will result in unnecessary
spraying of fluid while sawing. Damage to the arbor and motor can occur.
WARNING
Figure 4: Oil Reservoir
NOTICE:
Water is not recommended for use with the 7-inch Trim Saw. The steel arbor shaft can
rust. In addition, poor sawing performance and short blade life can result. However,
water soluble cutting fluid additives can be used with water at a 30 to 1 ratio.
Be sure to check the level of lubricant inside the reservoir after every 3 to 5 hours of
use. The lubricant will be absorbed onto the material, combine with rock mud (sludge)
and be lost to heat and evaporation.
