12.0 Maintenance
12.1 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.
12.2 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)
12.3 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.
12.4 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.
12.5 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.
