SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate
under the worktable and base. This
could cause diffi culty in the movement
of the worktable when setting up
a miter cut. Frequently blow out or
vacuum up the sawdust.
If blowing sawdust, wear proper
eye protection to keep debris from
blowing into eyes.
LUBRICATION (FIG. KK)
All the motor bearings in this tool are
lubricated with a suffi cient amount of
high-grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal operating conditions;
therefore, no further lubrication is
required.
Lubricate the following as necessary:
Chop pivot: Apply light machine oil to
points indicated in illustration.
Central pivot of plastic guard: Use
light household oil (sewing machine
oil) on metal-to-metal or metal-to-
plastic guard contact areas as required
for smooth, quiet operation. Avoid
excessive oil, to which sawdust will
cling.
WARNING
!
Link: (which actuates the lower guard
movement) may be oiled at the rear
pivot, greased at ball bearing contact,
and oiled where the link actuates the
acetyl roller of the lower guard, if the
down chop motion is hard to start.
