MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated,
simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced.
Do not lubricate them.
Lubricate the following areas every six to twelve
months according to frequency of use:
• Blade angling trunnions. These should be lubricated
with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.
• Blade height trunnion. This should also be lubricat-
ed with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.
• The two worm gears should be lubricated with
either graphite or white lithium grease.
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of a
quality metal protectant/lubricant.
Table & Base
Frequently blow-off dust with compressed air. Dust build-
up around the motor and internal working parts will
decrease the saw's life span.
Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the inter-
nal parts with more than compressed air. To do this,
remove the table top and clean the internal parts with a
citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush or
steel wool. If any essential lubrication is removed during
cleaning, relubricate those areas.
Cleaning
The V-belts may stretch a little as the saw is used and
may need to be tightened from time to time. Replacing
the V-belts is not much harder than tightening them, but
you must make sure you replace the V-belts with a match-
ing set.
V-Belts
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance pro-
cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
