Lubrication Instructions
Motor Gear Case: It is lubricated permanently and
requires no periodic lubrication. The lubrication oil
used in the motor gear case is SAE 90.
Roller Gear Case: It is packed with grease and sealed,
and requires no periodic lubrication. If service is
required, replenish lubricant with Moly-Shield ST-200
or equivalent.
Hinge Bar: Directly above the hinge bar located on
the head casting are two 1/8" lubricating holes. Fill
holes with lubricating oil (SAE 30) every 8 hours of
operation.
Pinion Gear: On the outside of the head casting directly
opposite the pinion gear are two 1/8" lubricating
holes for the oiling of the pinion gear shaft. Lubricate
every 8 hours of operation with lubricating oil (SAE
30).
Motor: Requires no lubrication. All ball bearings are
sealed.
Cutter Wheel Alignment
Your E-Z Cutter wheel is aligned professionally by our
factory assemblymen prior to its shipping. If for some
reason your E-Z Cutter becomes out of alignment, you
will observe that the wheel is not cutting but making
thread marks on your stock.
To align the E-Z Cutter, loosen the appropriate head
aligning set screws and adjust the head to the right or
left as required. Tighten the set screws once the wheel
is aligned.
Motor Brushes
Check motor for brush wear every six months. If
motor lacks power due to a dirty commutator, use a
commutator cleaner stick or fine emery cloth.

ing drawings are provided for your convenience.
