power supply before carrying out maintenance work.
General
Re-application of the wax coating on the work table makes feeding the work piece to the blade easier.

The power cord should be replaced immediately if pulled out, cut or damaged in any other way.
Do not lubricate the motor bearings or internal parts!
Saw arm bearings
Lubricate the saw arm bearings every 50 hours. Proceed as follows (10).
