MAINTENANCE
6. The blade flanges must have a diameter of 4".
Undersize flanges will reduce blade life and cause
breakage. Therefore, they should be replace at once.
7. Cutting blades must fit the arbor snugly. This is very
important with diamond blades as pounding will occur
and serious blade damage can result. If the arbor
shoulder of the inner blade flange is grooved from blade
slippage, the flange must be replaced.
8. Inspect the conveyor cart periodically. Replace the
wood insert and wheels when necessary.
9. Lubricate spindle bearings after each day's operation.
When dry cutting, grease bearings several times during
the day's operation to protect them from the dust.
10. Replace the spindle bearings as soon as they begin to
make any strange noises. Worn bearings can destroy
blades very quickly.
11. Grease pivot bearings periodically.
CUTTING HEAD ALIGNMENT (BLADE)
Make certain the
cutting head
is aligned properly
.
Misalignment can adversely affect blade life. The motor/
engine plate is slotted so adjustment to the blade can be
made as needed. The left side has vertical slots, and the
right side has horizontal slots. To adjust the cutting head
either vertical or horizontally perform the following:
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT
Remove the motor or engine from the mounting plate.
Loosen the pivot bearing bolts (2) on the left side of the
mounting plate. Move the pivot bearing to the extreme top
of the slots in the mounting plate. Thread a 3/8-16 bolt
(adjusting bolt) down through the hole in the top of the
mounting plate. Tighten the bolt against the bearing.
This will raise the mounting plate. Continue to tighten the
bolt until the blade is perpendicular to the conveyor cart.
Tighten the pivot bearing bolts. Remove the adjusting bolt
and reassemble.
HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT
Loosen the pivot bearings (2) on the right-side of the
mounting plate. Slide the pivot bearing forward or
backwards as needed, until the blade is parallel with the
conveyor cart. Tighten the pivot bearing bolts.
BEARING LUBRICATION CARE
There are two (2) grease points (Figure 29) for the MP1
gasoline
model saw. Use only Premium Lithium 12 based
Grease, conforming to NLG1 Grade #2 consistency. Grease
daily
.

CUTTING HEAD REMOVAL
To remove the cutting head (Figure 31) perform the
following:
Figure 30. Cutting Head Removal
1. Loosen the knobs (2) located on each side of uprights.
2. Slide the hooks (2) up and away from the pivot shaft.
3. Remove the handle lock that fastens the blade height
adjusting arm to the motor/engine plate. This is
accomplished by simply removing the cotter pin.
4. Disconnect the spring from the pivot shaft by raising the
cutting head until the tension is relieved from the spring.
