For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily check:
•
loose mounting bolts.
•
Worn switch.
•
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
•
damaged wheel rubber.
•
any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Schedule
Frequently blow-off sawdust with compressed
air. this is especially important for the internal
working parts and motor. dust build-up around
the motor is a sure way to decrease its life span.
if the wheels become loaded up with pitch, oil, or
other residues, wipe them clean using a clean rag
and a mild solvent. avoid touching the plastic or
paint with mineral spirits or you may damage the
surfaces.
Lubrication
always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
cleaning
since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need
to be replaced. do not lubricate them. however,
periodically oil the lock lever and t-handle threads
to ensure free operation. Wipe down the adjust-
ment arm with a thin film of oil as required to pre-
vent surface rust but not enough to attract dirt.
