SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Model T28360 is relatively easy.
Wipe off tile dust with a wet cloth. If dust has built
up in the tray, use a mild soap and warm water to
remove it.
Protect the unpainted steel guide rods by wiping
them clean after every use—this ensures mois-
ture from the water pump does not remain on bare
metal surfaces. Keep the guide rods rust-free with
regular applications of products like G96
®
Gun
Treatment, SLIPIT
®
, or Boeshield
®
T-9.
Cleaning &
Protecting
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To maintain a low risk of injury and proper
machine operation, if you ever observe any of the
items below, shut down the machine immediately
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Damaged saw blade.
•
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
Weekly Maintenance
•
Flush pump with clean water.
•
Clean and lubricate guide rods.
•
Check wear on saw blade and dress or
replace as necessary.

Schedule
The only components that require regular lubri-
cation are the guide rods. The carriage contains
linear motion bearings that can pick up dirt and
debris from the exposed guide rods.
Lubrication
Item(s) Needed
Qty
Clean Shop Rags .............................................. 2
T26685 or ISO-32 Equivalent Oil ...... As Needed
To perform this procedure:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Wipe off any dirt and debris with a clean shop
rag.
3. Apply a light coat of oil, and then slide
saw carriage back and forth to distribute oil
evenly.
The abrasive cutting blade can dull over time but
cannot be sharpened like a normal saw blade.
The blade's abrasive material can become cov-
ered by its adhesive material, dulling the blade
prematurely. Dressing the blade can re-expose
the abrasive and effectively "sharpens" the blade.
To dress the blade, slowly cut into a dressing
stone, as you would a tile, until the entire band
of abrasive passes through the stone. Repeat as
necessary.
