Cengar JP901, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 5 / 12

OPERATING THE SAW
We recommend that eye protec on be worn, and normal safe
working prac ces observed as per the Health and Safety at work
act, and the appropriate Na onal and State Laws.
Set the isolator to “on” posi on, rest the blade on the material to
be cut with the nosepiece
fi rmly abu ed to the work piece, with
forward hand pressure, to prevent judder. Allow the Cengar Saw to
cut under its own weight, with just a slight downward hand
pressure to keep the teeth engaged in the cut. It is not necessary
to put excessive downward pressure on the saw, this only
accelerates blade wear, and prevents the saw from opera ng
e
ffi ciently. Normal airline pressure of 5 to 6 Bar is required, any
higher pressure only accelerates internal wear of the machine.
USE IN HAZARDOUS AREAS
We strongly advise that the contact area of the blade on the work
piece be quenched with coolant or water during cu ng to
dissipate any heat which may be created by the cu ng process.
An
‐ sta c conduc ve air hose must be used, with adequate
earth bond con nuity (resistance below 1 ohm), to ground any
electrosta c charges.
MAINTENANCE AND GENERAL HINTS
Always ensure su ffi cient oil in the tool, especially when the saw is
in constant use, and ALWAYS leave a small air bubble inside the oil
container when re fi lling, to prevent ‘Hydraulic Lock’ which would
impede lubrica on.
The tool depends upon oil which acts not only as a lubricant, but
also as a
PISTON SEAL . No oil will result in overhea ng, piston
scorching, excessive wear, and a costly repair.
Very li le maintenance is required if the correct oil is used, but
incorrect oil will soon break down into sludge, slowing down the
ac on of the saw, necessita ng its removal by use of Cengar M.S.
Cleaner. It is impera ve that the saw is re
‐ oiled immediately a er
cleaning, with Cengar Green Oil.
