MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated,
simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced.
Do not lubricate them. However, periodically oil the lock
lever and T-handle threads to ensure free operation and
wipe down the adjustment arm with a thin film of oil as
required to prevent surface rust.
Frequently blow-off sawdust with compressed air. This is
especially important for the internal working parts and
motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to
decrease its life span. If the wheels become loaded up
with pitch, oil, or other residues, wipe them clean using
a clean rag and a mild solvent. Avoid touching the plastic
or paint with mineral spirits or you may damage the sur-
faces.
