Lubrication And Cutter Rotation - Foley Belsaw 200 Adjustment & Operation Instructions

• Use a light machine oil for the B-15 carriage guide bar
• Use medium grease on the key machine cutter shaft if fitted with a grease zerk. Note: new current produc-
tion does not have a grease fitting, because there is no lubrication needed on the main cutter shaft.
• Oil the carriage bar as needed to insure ease of operation. Be sure to keep this guide bar and the rest of the
machine clear of metal chips and shavings at all times.
• The motor does not require any lubrication.
The cutter rotation is very important. The file type cutter was installed on your machine at the factory with the
teeth pointing DOWN. All cutters have teeth pointing in the same direction. ALWAYS install the cutters as
shown in Figure F with teeth pointing DOWN. Installation of a cutter with the teeth pointing UP would make
the cutter work in the wrong direction and damage it. Also, the motor rotates in a direction so that the cutter
throws the chips and shavings down and away from your face, making it safer to operate.
