Cleaning
Clean off any preservative on machine surfaces.
After cleaning:
1. Coat machined surfaces of the cutoff saw
with a medium consistency machine oil.
Reapply the oil coating at least every six
months.
2. Clean up accumulated saw cuttings after
use. Make sure the lead screw and rapid nut
are kept free from saw cuttings and other
material that would cause damage.
3. Clean the chip sludge from the coolant tank.
The frequency should be determined by how
often the saw is used.
Lubrication
Lubricate the following components at the
specified frequencies and using the lubricants
defined as follows:
Ball Bearings – the bearings are lubricated and
sealed – periodic lubrication is not required.
Blade Guide Bearing – the bearings are lubri-
cated and sealed – periodic lubrication is not
required.
Wheel Bushings – six to eight drops of oil each
week.
Pivot Points, Shafts, and Bearing areas – six
to eight drops of oil each week.
Coolant
Change coolant on a frequency appropriate to
the type of coolant being used. Oil based
coolants can sour. Refer to the coolant
supplier’s instructions for change frequency.
The general-purpose coolant is a mixture of
water-soluble oil or synthetic based coolant and
water. Mix one part of coolant to ten parts of
water (one quart of oil to ten quarts water).
Twelve quarts of coolant is the amount required
for the coolant pump to operate properly. Verify
that the coolant level is visible in the indicator
(Figure 14).
There are numerous coolants on the market that
are formulated for special applications. Consult
your local distributor for details in the event you
have a long range production task, or are
required to cut some of the more exotic
materials.
