Prior to operating the PF10 Trim Saw, you must fill the oil reservoir so that the lubricant fluid covers the bottom
1/4" of the blade (fig 4). 1/2 gallon of oil will adequately cover the bottom of a 10” blade and 3/4 gallon will be
sufficient for an 8” blade. Do not overfill the oil reservoir as excess fluid will result in unnecessary spraying of
fluid while sawing and possibly cause damage to the arbor and motor.
To add lubricant, first remove the two Phillips-head machine screws that secure the belt guard to the saw table.
Then, while supporting the left (vise) side of the saw table, remove the four flat-head machine screws (fig 5)
that secure the saw table to the reservoir tank and remove the saw table. Please note: the saw table will fall off
the reservoir if not supported once the final mounting screw is removed!
The 303 Pro blade is manufactured to cut in either a petroleum, mineral or synthetic water soluble oil saw
lubricant. Although water can be used with the PF10 Trim Saw, it is not recommended as the steel arbor shaft
can rust. In addition, poor sawing performance and short blade life can result. If water must be used, it is
recommended that a rust inhibitor such as Tool Cool (8 oz. Tool Cool to 1 gallon water) be added.
