Websaw Maintenance

Feed Rollers

The Websaw feed rollers must be at least cleaned daily to allow for reliable traction on lumber. We 
recommend using a steel brush with denatured alcohol for best results. 

Print head cleaning

Remove the print head and using a small brush gently wipe away any ink and saw dust build up on 
the print head. Dip your brush into the supplied Matthew’s thinner solution to help remove the gum 
build up. 

Note if the printer is shutdown for two or more days it is necessary to bleed the line of ink.

 

See “Printer” page 13 for more details.

Air Pressure

Adjust air pressure to 80PSI. If “banging” occurs reduce air pressure. Air pressure operational range 
is from 60 to 80 PSI and must not deviate more then 10 PSI while running. 

Note the minium 

recommended air hose is 3/4 of an inch.
