8.1.3 Servicing the saw-bar
Always turn the saw-bar over, file its side and clean its groove when
necessary.
8.2 Changing the angular gear oil, Fig. 8.2
Loosen the attachment bolts of the
lower cover at the back of the
machine and remove the cover by
sliding it to the side.
The oil plugs are located in the
side of the angular gear.
The
angular
gear
must
be
demounted for the oil change, or
the used oil must be drained, for
example, by means of suction
drainage.
Fill up with about 0,5 litres of new
oil.
The upper limit is at the lower
edge of the filling opening.
Oil type SAE 80
8.3 Lubricating the machine
See the service schedule. Many of the bearings are lubed-for-life and do not
need to be lubricated. If a lubed-for-life bearing receives too much lubricant,
its gasket may get damaged.
NOTE!
If the machine is left standing for a longer period of time, it is
important that the bearings always be provided with clean lubricant.
If the machine is used regularly, lubricate the bearings once a week.
Oil the moving joints daily. The log-stop, the legs and the support rollers of
the deck.
8.4 Coupling for electric motor, Fig. 28
Check the rubber A of the coupling at
regular intervals.
For example, every time the saw-shaft is
lubricated.
If the clutch clearly shows play, change the
rubber.
If the coupling makes an unusual rattling
noise, the coupling rubber and possibly
also the coupling claws are worn out and
need to be replaced without delay.
