EC-600 Saw Service & Maintenance Instructions
Operation:
The tool is designed to operate on 90 PSI air pressure using a 3/8 inch hose up to 8 feet in length. If additional hose is required, a 1/2 inch or larger hose should be connected to the 3/8 inch hose.
Lubrication:
An automatic in-line filter-lubrication is highly recommended to increase tool life as well as keeping the tool in sustained operation. If in-line lubrication is not used, the tool should be lubricated several times daily by disconnecting the air hose and pouring a few drops of a good grade of No. 10W machine oil into the air inlet.
The angle head should be greased every forty (40) hours of operation with a good grade of grease, using a low pressure grease gun.
Disassembly:
- To disassemble the tool:
- Clamp tool in a soft-jawed vise and unscrew (left hand threads) the gear housing from the motor housing.
- Unscrew the throttle body sub-assembly.
- Clamp tool in a soft-jawed vise and unscrew (left hand threads) the gear housing from the motor housing.
- To disassemble the gear housing:
- Pull out the bevel gear with the attached gear bearing.
- Removing the bearing cap retainer ring will allow the cutter shaft and attached components to be pressed out the rear of the gear housing.
- Unscrew the lock nut and remove the rear cutter shaft bearing gear spacer, gear key, and front cutter shaft bearing from the cutter shaft.
- Note: To unscrew or tighten the arbor bolt, remove 1/4 - 28 button head cap screw and insert a 3/16 inch hex allen wrench into the opening in the bearing cap to reach the internal hex in the end of the cutter shaft.
- Pull out the bevel gear with the attached gear bearing.
- To disassemble the motor unit:
- Remove the retainer ring from the rotor shaft and gently slip the complete motor unit out the rear of the motor housing.
- Remove the retainer ring and the nylon bearing cap from the rear bearing plate.
- Clamp the cylinder in the vise with spline end of the rotor shaft down.
- Using a suitable driver, drive the rotor shaft out of the rear rotor bearing.
- All of the motor unit parts may now be removed from the rotor shaft.
- Unscrew the hose adapter to remove the air screen for cleaning and inspection.
- Remove the retainer ring from the rotor shaft and gently slip the complete motor unit out the rear of the motor housing.
Tightening Saw Blade Instructions:
To unscrew or tighten the arbor bolt, remove the 1/4 – 28 button head cap screw and insert a 3/16 inch allen wrench.
Product Safety Warnings
For your safety, make sure you apply standard shop practices at all times when using this tool. Your failure to apply these practices may result in serious bodily injury.
Protect your eyes, ears, and other parts of your body by using safety equipment - respirator, safety goggles, ear mufflers and other necessary safety devices - at all times when operating this tool or when you are in the area where this tool is being operated.
For maximum stability and safety, only operate these tools with both hands on the tool. Follow the cutting tool manufacturer’s mounting and operating instructions and avoid any direct contact with the sharp cutting edges of the tool.
Modification or improper use of this tool, including, but not limited to, removing guards, mufflers, or other safety devices, voids all responsibilities of the manufacturer.
Excessive air pressure, over and above 90 PSI, will increase the RPM, the sound level, and can be a damaging factor to both the operator and the tool.
Stay alert! Watch what you are doing! Do not operates this tool when under the influence of medication, alcohol, or drugs!
Disconnect the air supply before changing the cutter and whenever making adjustments or repairs.
Do not remove warning tags until both sides have been read and understood by the person(s) responsible for safety in your plant.
