Introduce

Concrete saw is a powerful saw that can cut through concrete, brick and stone, maintaining your concrete saw is important for long-term use. Proper maintenance is essential if the user wants to ensure that the concrete saw will remain in good working order for many years to come. In this blog post, BISON Supplier will help you understand the importance of maintaining your concrete saw, with tips and storage guidelines on how to do it properly.

The importance of maintaining a concrete saw

Maintaining your concrete saw is critical to ensuring the longevity, efficiency and safety of your equipment. A well-maintained concrete saw not only guarantees optimal performance in construction and demolition projects, concrete contains chemicals which, when left on the saw blade, can quickly wear down the blade and easily damage the mechanism. Additionally, proper maintenance reduces the risk of accidents and injuries, as a malfunctioning concrete saw can be a hazard to the operator and others on the job site. Ultimately, the time and effort invested in maintaining your concrete saw pays off in the form of durability, reliability, and safety that deliver consistent results on even the toughest cutting tasks.

Therefore, maintaining your concrete saw properly will help the tool work more efficiently. Here are some of the simple yet most effective maintenance tasks you can perform for your BISON walk behind concrete saw. 

Tips for proper maintenance

Check your concrete saw regularly

Maintaining your concrete road saw can be an important part of ensuring your machine will last for many years. Whether it's a concrete saw or any other machine, regular inspections can help avoid costly repairs and downtime.

Checking saw blade quality is one of the most important parts of the inspection. Before each use, inspect the blades for any signs of wear, damage, or cracks. As the blades wear, they become lighter, making them less effective at cutting concrete. Regularly inspect the blades for any defects and replace if necessary.

After the BISON concrete saw has cooled down, you can use the grinding wheel to sharpen the blade. Start sharpening from the top and sides of the blade until desired sharpness is achieved. Then, use the grinding wheel on the back of the blade to make a flush cut, this will help prevent any bumps or ridge tearing while cutting.

And use a file or stone to smooth any rough edges on the blade and remove any burrs. This will help keep the saw looking its best for longer and prevent any accidents due to jagged edges. By following these steps, you can easily maintain BISON concrete saw and get clean cuts every time.

Next, make sure all hardware is secure. For example, on a concrete saw, make sure that all screws and bolts are tight and that all hoses and connections are leak-free. Make sure the cutting blade is installed correctly and shows no signs of damage. Also visually inspect the blade guard for signs of damage. Finally, make sure important safety features are working properly, such as the throttle trigger lock and engine kill switch.

Check air filter

Sawing concrete presents particularly difficult operating conditions for the saw. Even when wet sawn, concrete produces fine dust particles that can easily enter the bearings. At this time, the operator should check and clean the engine air filter regularly.

Keep clean

Finally, keep your concrete clean after each use. Concrete dust and debris can accumulate inside the saw, causing damage and shortening its life. After each use, remove any dirt or debris with water and a stiff brush. Doing this will ensure that your BISON concrete saw performs at its best over the long term.

BISON believes it is important to maintain your concrete floor saw to get the most out of it. Regular inspection and maintenance of your concrete saw by following these simple tips can go a long way towards keeping your machine running efficiently. You can be sure your concrete saw is built to last.

Properly store your concrete saw

Properly store and maintain your concrete saw when not in use. This will help it run consistently and smoothly. Here are some tips from BISON manufacturers:

1. Lubrication: Proper blade lubrication is essential to ensure smooth and efficient cutting, lubricate the blade and other moving parts with light machine oil. This will help prevent rust and reduce friction, which will help extend the life of BISON concrete saw.
