Preparing to Saw
Important: Fill the base with
water to a level that covers
the lower guide . The water
provides cooling for the blade
and extends guide life.
Fill the water tray with water to level indicated
Water flow is automatic when the saw is running.
Occasionally, air bubbles in the line may prevent
proper flow, requiring that the line be blown free
of bubbles as described at left. You can also use
any small suction device to draw water through the
tube and remove the air bubbles.
Wear eye protection. Turn the switch on and observe
that the pump is supplying water to the blade. If no
water is observed, turn off the saw, disconnect the
tubing at the pump and blow the water out of the tube
from the bottom end. Reconnect the tubing, turn the
saw on and water flow should be restored. Once the
blade has good water flow, you may begin sawing. You
may push the glass in any direction.
It is a good idea to empty and clean the base every now
and then to remove the glass sludge.
Start up Maintenance
It is necessary to keep the two steel vertical shafts lubricated with light oil. If your shafts do not feel oily to the touch, wipe
light motor oil (such as sewing machine oil or clock oil) on them with your fingers. DO NOT use 3-in-1 oil. DO NOT use
vegetable oil. DO NOT use spray lubricants.
These shafts are ground to micro finish in order to make your blade chuck last a long time. If you allow your shafts to rust
or become dry you will drastically reduce the blade chuck life.
Sawing
Put on eye protection. Turn on the saw to start the water flow to the blade. The water feed tubing should touch the blade.
Saw in any direction.
As you near the end of your cut, ease off on the pressure you apply to the glass to minimize risk of glass breakage.
