OPERATION
Fill the coolant tank with lapidary cutting oil or water until coolant covers approximately 1/4” of the blade rim
(Fig. 5). Note:
Add a small amount of quality rust inhibitor when using water.
Cut slowly using a straight forward motion (Fig. 6). Do not force stone into blade or apply side pressure.
If using the vise, make sure the rock is clamped firmly before starting (Fig. 7). Slowly feed stone into blade.
MAINTENANCE
The TS-10 is designed for minimum maintenance however the following should be periodically checked.
Check belt for wear and proper tension. Refer to Motor Installation.
Check blade for wear and correct alignment.
Keep blade sharpened by periodically making a cut into a dressing stick or an old medium grit
aluminum oxide or silicon carbide grinding wheel. This helps to expose fresh diamond crystals. (Fig 8).
Cascade™ dressing sticks #566-012 are recommended.
Maintain a proper coolant level.
Change the coolant frequently or when it becomes dirty. (Fig. 9).
