SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To maintain a low risk of injury and proper
machine operation, if you ever observe any of the
items below, shut down the machine immediately
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
• Loose mounting bolts/arbor nut.
• Damaged saw blade.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Weekly Maintenance
•
Clean table surface and miter slot grooves.
• Clean and protect cast-iron table.
• Clean rip fence.
Monthly Check
•
Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi-
net and off motor.
Every 6–12 Months
•
Lubricate trunnion slides ( Page 47).
• Lubricate blade height and fence rack &
pinion (
Page 47).
Schedule
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0869/G0870 is relatively
easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust,
and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.
If any resin has built up, use a resin-dissolving
cleaner to remove it.
Lubrication
It is essential to clean components before lubri-
cating 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.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/
grease solvent cleaner and shop rags.
If you thoroughly clean the components in this
section before lubricating them, the result will
be silky smooth movement when turning the
handwheels, which will result in much higher
enjoyment on your part!
The following are the main components that
need to be lubricated:
• Trunnion Slides
• Blade Height Rack & Pinion
• Front and Rear Fence Rack & Pinion
