Lubrication
The table saw has sealed lubricated bearings in the motor housing and the arbor assembly, they
will not require any additional lubrication. Use a wire brush to clean off the worm gears and
trunnions and apply a white lithium grease to keep them lubricated.
It is essential to clean components before lubricating them because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components and make them hard to move. Simply adding more grease to them will
not yield smooth moving components.
The following components need to be lubricated:

Trunnion Slides and Tilt Leadscrew

Bevel Gear, Elevation Leadscrew
The trunnion slides are the grooved portions of the
trunnions where the cast iron components slide
against each other as the blade is tilted.
Clean the trunnion slides and tilt leadscrew with
mineral spirits, and apply a dab of lithium grease
into each groove and around the tilt leadscrew next
to where it goes into the housing. Move the blade
tilt back and forth to spread the grease.
When the blade height handwheel is rotated, the
bevel gear turns the elevation leadscrew to
raise/lower the motor housing assembly.
Clean the bevel gear and elevation leadscrew with
mineral spirits before lubricating.
Lubricate the bevel gear and elevation leadscrew with lithium grease. Apply a dab into the bevel
gear teeth and around the elevation leadscrew right next to where it goes into the housing.
No other part of this table saw needs lubrication.
