Gearbox Maintenance
The gearbox requires periodic changing of the oil. Initially after 6 months and then every year
thereafter. Follow the procedure below:
1. Raise the saw bow to a vertical position. Note: You may have to adjust the upper travel stop
block to allow for full travel.
2. Disconnect the saw from the power supply.
3. Remove the oil drain plug (A) and drain the oil into a catch basin. Loosening oil fill plug (B)
will help oil to drain.
4. After draining, replace drain plug (A).
5. Return the saw bow to a horizontal position.
6. Remove the fill plug (B) and add 0.32 quart of gear oil. (For reference use SHELL type gear
oil or Mobil gear oil #90).
7. When the bow is in the horizontal position, the oil level should be at the midpoint of the sight
glass (C).
