If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
Ball bearings on blade guide assemblies and
blade wheels are permanently lubricated and
sealed. They require no further lubrication.
Place a thin coat of oil on the table surface on
which the vise jaw slides.
12.1
Coolant level
Maintain coolant level. Low coolant level can
cause foaming and high blade temperatures.
Replace dirty coolant; dirty or weak coolant can
clog the pump, cause crooked cuts, a low cutting
rate and/or permanent blade damage. To fill the
tank, remove the filter cup and pour coolant into
the hole to about 80% of full capacity. Full
capacity is 9 liters (2.5 gal). Follow coolant
manufacturer’s instructions for proper use and
disposal.
12.2
Gear box
To change gear box oil:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place bow in vertical position.
3. Remove drain plug (A, Figure 31) and drain
oil. (Follow local regulations for disposal of
used oil.)
4. Reinstall drain plug and return bow to
horizontal position.
5. Remove vent plug (B), and fill gear box
through the hole with approximately 0.3L
(10.14 oz.) of 90W oil.
6. Reinstall vent plug (B).
Completely drain and refill gear box after the first
90 days of operation. Thereafter, change every
six months.
Periodically, after draining remove screws, cover
and gasket, and wipe out residual oil from
gearbox interior with a rag, before refilling. Also
do this if changing oil brands.
