Practical Suggestions on New Saw – Care and Use
Upon receipt of your new saw, it is recommend you follow the suggestions below to ensure maximum economy from your new tool.
- Uncrate, inspect and properly store saws upon receipt. It does saws no good to be stored for prolonged periods coiled up in a crate or box. Saws should be stored in as large a loop as possible, with tooth protector in place. The weld should be located on the portion of the loop with the least curvature.
- Examine the weld as soon as the new saw is uncrated. If it is bent from being coiled in the crate, flatten out straight.
- Check the saw generally for any bent places due to crating. Because they are likely to cause cracks, all bends should be straightened before the saw is put into use or storage.
- Check the teeth for any possible dull corners or damage from crating and shipping. These should be touched up or repaired before running, or storing, the new saw.
- The first run should be short, not over two hours, as the saw is likely to change more at this time than during any succeeding run. The saw should be then examined for tension, evened-up where needed and resharpened.
- Dress out all gullets after every grinding to eliminate case hardening or glazing which is a frequent cause of cracks. A Simonds Red Tang 10″ gullet file is recommended for this purpose.
- In order to optimize yield, productivity, and quality of lumber produced – as well as receiving maximum useful life and durability from your new saw- KEEP YOUR SAWS SHARP and in good condition.
