Complete Winter Maintenance Guide for Circular Saws in Russia

Pre-Winter Preparation Work

Comprehensive Inspection and Evaluation (Recommended to Be Completed Before Temperature Drops to -10°C)

• Electrical system insulation testing
• Hydraulic system tightness inspection
• Inspect and reinforce equipment sealing strips
• Verify the adequacy of workshop thermal insulation measures
• Prepare equipment insulation covers (for use during non-operating hours)

Key System Winter Maintenance Key Points

Hydraulic System Special Protection

• Replace with low-temperature hydraulic oil
• Maintain oil temperature within the operating range of 15-60°C
• Preheat for at least 15 minutes before daily startup

Pipeline and Sealing

• Inspect the tightness of all pipeline connection points
• Replace aging sealing components
• Ensure the hydraulic oil tank breather is unobstructed

Lubrication System Winter Configuration

Special Lubrication Scheme

• Bearing lubrication: Use low-temperature lubricating grease
• Guide rail lubrication: Apply low-temperature guide rail oil and increase lubrication frequency
• Gearbox: Replace with synthetic low-temperature gear oil

Electrical System Cold Protection Measures

• Activate heaters to maintain the operating temperature of PLC and drivers
• Regularly check the functional status of heating elements
• Control the humidity inside the control cabinet (recommended ≤ 60%)
• Inspect the flexibility of cable insulation layers
• Anti-freezing and anti-cracking protection for mobile cables

Special Daily Operation Procedures

Pre-Startup Checklist

Environmental Inspection

• No snow or ice around the equipment
• Workshop temperature not lower than the minimum allowable temperature of the equipment
• Thoroughly drain the air compressor

Preheating Procedure

• Electrical system preheating: 20-30 minutes
• Hydraulic system idle cycle: 10-15 minutes
• Low-speed operation of mechanical components: 5 minutes

Operational Notes

Cutting Parameter Adjustment

• Reduce the initial feed rate (recommended to 70% of the standard speed)
• Extend the saw blade running-in time
• Monitor changes in motor load

Continuous Monitoring Focus

• Temperature readings of each system
• Abnormal noise or vibration
• Changes in cutting quality

Shutdown Maintenance Procedures

Daily Shutdown

• Thoroughly drain the condensed water from the compressed air system
• Clean snow and ice off the equipment
• Cover with the insulation cover
• Record the daily operation data

Long-Term Shutdown

• Drain the cooling system fluid
• Perform regular idle operation of the hydraulic system
• Regularly power on to maintain the status of electrical components
