Chain Oiler
Figure 11
The Oliver Model 4910 rip Saw is equipped
with an automatic conveyor chain oiler. The
correct operation and maintenance of this oiler
is critical to the machine operation.
Inadequate lubrication will result in worn chain
guides, blocks, and pins. A worn conveyor will
not give a straight cut.
!
WARNING
Inspect chain lubricator reservoir (Figure
11) daily for adequate oil level. Failure to
do so may result in machine failure.
The oiler has been factory preset to deliver a
6CC burst of oil every 5 minutes. However
your shop may require a different setting. The
correct setting is proportional to the feed rate.
Too much lubrication however will attract
excessive dust, so there is a happy medium to
find.
Adjusting the Duration
1. Turn on the rip saw making sure that both
the feed chain and blade are running.
See the ‘Pre-Start’ section on page 20
prior to turning on the machine.
2. Although the interval is set at 5 minutes
and cannot be changed, the duration of
the oil burst can be adjusted according to
the feed speed.
3. To change the burst time unscrew the
plastic cap (A, Figure 12), loosen the set
screw (B, Figure 12) then turn the thumb
screw (C, Figure 12) until the desired
volume of oil is attained. The post in is
marked from 3-6CC’s

Note
: When the oil level gets too low in
the reservoir the alarm light will glow on
the oiler control panel and the saw control
panel
