Angle transmission (Fig. 3-5B)
Check the gear case grease level about every 50 hours of operation by removing the grease filler plug on the side of the
case.
If no grease can be seen on the flanks of the gears, fill the transmission with a quality lithium based multipurpose grease up
to 3/4.
Do not completely fill the transmission.
Blade (Fig. 3-6)
WARNING!
Wear protective gloves when handling or performing maintenance on the blade.
Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is more likely to snag and thrust. Replace the fastening nut if it is damaged and hard
to tighten.
When replacing blade, purchase one recommended by TANAKA, with a 25.4mm (1 inch) hole.
When installing saw blade (2), always face the stamped side up. In the case of a 4 tooth blade (1), it can be used on
either side. Use correct blade for the type of work.
When replacing blade, use appropriate tools.
When cutting edges become dull, re-sharpen or file as shown in figure. Incorrect sharpening may cause excessive
vibration.
Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged in any way.
NOTE!
When sharpening blade it is important to maintain the original shape of radius at the base of the tooth to avoid cracking.
