Water: Level, Conditions And Care - Gemini Saw Company Taurus Ring Saw Manual

Fill the water up to the watermark
located on the front of the water tub.
Conditions: Water conditions vary from region to region. Areas with "hard water" will
have an adverse affect on the saws moving parts, especially the bearings. The best
environment for the saw is distilled water. Distilled water is not always the most cost
effective way to go but there is another alternative, Add 2 to 3 table spoons of vinegar to
your tap water, further steps can be taken as well, like adding just a few drops of
ordinary dishwashing liquid. When the saw is being used for an extended period it is
always a good idea to add an ice pack to the water/or change it, to keep it cool. With
this saw it is better to use the ice packs rather than ice cubes as the cubes will float
freely throughout the saw and may get jammed in the inner workings. It is not
recommended to use any type of antifreeze or coolants.
Care: Always keep the water in your saw cool and clean as possible. It is all right to
leave the water in the saw for a few hours of even a day but it is never a good idea to
leave the water sitting idol in the saw for long periods. The contents in the water
(minerals and debris from cutting ) , will tend to settle in and around the moving parts
and cause rapid wear.
The water should come half way up
the bottom blue pulley #4.
