Maintenance
Maintenance Requirements
All maintenance must be
carried out with the power switched off.
Failure to comply may result in serious
injury!
On completion of maintenance, ensure that
replaced parts and/or any tools used have been
removed from the machine before starting it up.
Periodic Maintenance
Remove chips from the machine, preferably
with a cloth
Remove chips from the coolant tank and
change coolant regularly (see Coolant
section)
Top up the coolant level (see Coolant)
Check the wear of the blade and change if
necessary (see Changing the Saw Blade)
Empty the chips out of the base.
Clean the vise and lubricate all the joints
and sliding surfaces, using good quality oil.
Attend to daily, weekly and annual
lubrication recommendations (see the
Lubrication section)
Coolant
The coolant tank access door is located on the
back of the cabinet stand. Remove four hex cap
screws with a 5mm hex wrench. Check coolant
level in the coolant tank periodically and top off if
necessary. Coolant can also be added by
pouring directly on the table, which will drain into
the tank through the chip strainer.
Remove excess chips periodically from the tank.
Use the coolant level gauge to check the coolant
level.
Changing the Saw Blade
The cold saw must not be
connected to the power source when
changing saw blades. Failure to comply may
result in serious injury!
To change the saw blade:
1. Switch off the machine.
2. Release the lower disc guard.
3. Move the lower guard upwards.
4. Remove the blade and replace it with a new
one.
5. To secure the saw blade, reverse the
preceding steps.
Lubrication
For long life and trouble-free operation, it is
essential that this machine be kept well
lubricated. The vise and leadscrew should be
oiled daily. Pivot joints and bearings should be
greased weekly. Check the gearbox oil level
weekly; full level is top of sight glass with head
in full up position. The gearbox oil should be
changed annually.
Recommended Lubricants:
Gearbox
Use Texaco Meropa 460 or equivalent.
Grease fittings
Texaco Starplex 2 or equivalent
Vise and Leadscrew
Regal R & O 68
Coolant System
This coolant system can operate with either a
soluble oil base coolant or water-soluble
synthetic coolant. Coolant should be changed
regularly. Some recommended brands are DoAll
and Lenox. These coolants are available at your
local industrial distributor.
Coolant Type:
Soluble Oil Base
Water-Soluble Synthetic Coolant
