Blaughn Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 My Ex 21 is cutting fine but the arm lift squeaks when you move it and has excess "stiction"* when you try to lower it. *(Resists movement and then breaks free until you stop movement.) The stiction has been normal to a small degree but has increased and the squeaking is a new development. Any thoughts? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 You need to adjust the screw on the left back side of the say. Should be talked about in you manual. It is too tight. I had this problem on my ex and called Ray Seyco. He told me if you adjust it too tight it will wear a groove in the piece of metal it rides against and the groove gets too deep, it will no longer hold the arm up and that metal part is not replaceable. That is what I was told. I backed the screw off slightly. Now before adjusting any thing consult your manual. and wait for people with more experience before doing the adjustment... I could be wrong. Video of the bolt I am talking about. OCtoolguy and kmmcrafts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 As Paul said. I took the bolt out and put a dab of grease on it. These saws do require a bit of maintenance. Unlike the Hegners. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
