CLEANING
•
Clean off any preservative on bright (machined) parts with appropriate solvent
(mineral spirits). Avoid getting cleaning fluid on any rubber parts as they tend
to deteriorate rubber.
• Use soap and soft water on rubber and plastic parts.
•
After cleaning, lubricate unpainted surfaces with a light application of medium
consistency machine oil. This lubrication should be repeated at least once every
six months.
NOTE:
Instead of oil, a good quality paste wax can be applied to rip fence and
table surface. Paste wax will enhance movement of workpieces. In addition to
providing lubrication, paste wax will help prevent rusting.
•
Keep your machine and your workshop clean. Do not allow sawdust to accumulate
on saw or inside cabinet. Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust that may
accumulate within cabinet.
•
Be certain motor and internal mechanisms are clean and are frequently vacuumed
or blown free of any dirt.
LUBRICATION
All bearings on the arbor are shielded ball bearings. These bearings are permanently
lubricated at the factory.
•
As needed, clean the grease off the rack and worm gears of height and
tilt mechanism. Lubricate rack and gears with a medium viscosity machine oil.
• Be sure to lubricate trunnion ways and all bushings.
•
Occasionally oil all other bearing points, including blade guard assembly, mitre
gauge and rip fence.
SERVICE
•
Replace belts and worn parts as needed. If power cords are worn, cut, or damaged
in any way, have them replaced immediately.
• Make sure teeth of anti-kickback pawls are always sharp.
• Sharpen dull teeth using a few light strokes of a smooth cut flat file.
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
Refer to Figures 52 and 53.
WARNING:
Turn the power switch “OFF” and unplug the power cord from its power
source when changing the saw blade.
WARNING:
When replacing blades, check the thickness stamped onto the riving
knife. You must select a blade with a kerf width larger than the thickness of the
riving knife. The kerf width should be marked on the blade or blade package.
Thinner blades may cause the workpiece to bind during cutting.
WARNING:
USE ONLY 10” diameter blades with 5/8” arbor holes, rated at or higher
than 3800 R.P.M.
• Remove blade guard assembly and pawl assembly.
• Remove the table insert.
• Unlock the raise/lower handwheel lock and raise saw blade to maximum height.
• Depress locking pin (see Figure 52) and slowly rotate blade toward you until pin
engages into arbor. Hold arbor in locked position.
• Place supplied open-end wrench (A) on the arbor nut (B).
Turn wrench counterclockwise to loosen nut. Remove arbor nut, blade flange (C)
and saw blade (D).
•
Place new blade on arbor. Make sure saw blade teeth point down at the front
