MAINTENANCE
This table saw requires very little maintenance other than minor lubrication and cleaning. The
following sections detail what will need to be done in order to assure continued operation of your
saw.

Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.

Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.

On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.

Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.

Inspect/test the ON/OFF switch before each use. Do not operate the saw with a damaged
switch - replace a damaged switch immediately.

Inspect the saw blade for damage or chipped teeth before each use. Replace a damaged or
chipped blade immediately. Never operate the saw with a damaged or chipped blade.

Keep the saw table clean and free of dust, pitch or glue. An occasional light coating of paste
wax can be use to protect the cast-iron surface.

Occasionally open the cabinet door and brush off and vacuum out accumulated dust from
inside the cabinet and on the blade tilting gears and on or around the motor.

Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for damage. To minimize the risk of electric
shock or fire, never operate the saw with a damaged power cord or plug. Replace a
damaged power cord or plug at the first sign of damage.

To minimize airborne dust particles periodically inspect all dust collection fittings
– re-tighten
as needed.

Check the drive belt for tightness. It should be snug but not overly tight.

Use a mill file to remove any nicks or dings from the infeed or outfeed tables.
Note : Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis following proper safety
precautions.
