Barranca Diamond 6-inch TS6 Trim Saw - Manual (Page 17)

1
The motor shaft has sealed ball bearings and requires no
lubrication. The motor is protected from thermal damage
(overheating) with an automatic shut-off switch.
If the motor overheats it will automatically shut off and restart
once its internal components cool down and the motor is
restarted manually (red button).
Shut off the main motor by placing the power switch lever to
the OFF position and disconnecting the power source.
Allow the motor to cool (2 to 3 hours) and then push the red
reset button on the front of the motor (see Figure 18). Restart
the unit by turning the switch to ON.

WARNING If the saw motor should stop during operation, the power to the main motor must
be shut off by moving the power switch in the OFF position. The motor will restart
automatically once cooled down.

TS6 MAIN MOTOR
Periodically, the diamond blade on the TS6 Trim Saw will need to be resharpened should slow or
poor sawing performance occur. Dull or “glazed over” diamonds will either not cut thus stalling the
saw and shutting off the motor, or the rock vise and rock material will ride up the blade and possibly
damage the blade or “dish” the core. Once the saw begins to labor or struggle to cut gemstones, the
user is advised to use the provided sharpening stick and resharpen the blade. Resharpening can be
performed either with the automatic power feed (stick secured in vise) or manually with the power feed
disengaged and a few slabs cut from the sharpening stick. If no sharpening stick is available, the user
could use an abrasive material such as cinder block or brick to remove the glazing over the diamonds
on the rim of the blade.
