Chassis Lubrication
Regular lubrication of various components of the FCG16HA Saw
are critical to ensure a reasonable service life. Lubricate the
following components:
Drive Belt
Refer to pages 17 to 18 of this manual for Drive Belt adjustment
procedures and Removal and Replacement procedures.
Blade Shaft Bearings
Two zerk fittings are located at the lower-front area of the saw.
Lubricate before daily use. Use a good quality automotive or
general purpose grease. Check and lubricate more often if unit
is under heavy use. Do not overfill bearings. Overfilling can
damage the grease seals which can result in bearing exposure
to dirt and contaminants which can then shorten the life of the
bearings. Excess grease can also drip onto the cutting surface.
