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 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.
Air Prep Unit – FK350-SX only
The Air Prep Unit regulates the air pressure
supplied to the saw. It is located in the cabinet
stand and is accessible through the access door
located below and to the left of the control panel.
Referring to Figure 13, it consists of a pressure
regulator, pressure gauge, water trap and
lubricator. Air pressure (90lbs. minimum) is
supplied to the air intake valve located near the
bottom of the cabinet on the left side. The
pressure regulator should be adjusted to 90–
120lbs.
Required Maintenance:
‰ Check weekly.
‰ Drain water from the trap when the level
exceeds the redline.
‰ Adjust to 2 –3 drops/minute. Refill oil when
the level drops below the lower redline. Do
not exceed past the upper redline.
