MAINTAINING YOUR TABLE SAW
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and
remove the switch key. Remove the plug from
the power source outlet before maintaining or
lubricating your saw.
1. Clean out all sawdust that has accumulated inside
the saw cabinet and the motor.
2. Polish the saw table with an automotive wax to keep
it clean and to make it easier to slide the workpiece.
3. Clean cutting blades with pitch and gum remover.
4. A worn, cut, or damaged power cord should be
replaced immediately.
All electrical or mechanical repairs should be
attempted only by a trained repair technician. Contact
customer service for assistance. Use only identical
replacement parts. Any other parts may create a
hazard.
5. Use liquid dishwashing detergent and water to clean
all plastic parts.
NOTE :
Certain cleaning chemicals can damage
plastic parts.
6. Avoid use of cleaning chemicals or solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia.
BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM
(Fig. SS, TT)
After every five hours of operation, the blade raising
mechanism and tilting mechanism should be checked
for looseness, binding, or any other abnormalities.
1. With the saw disconnected from the power source,
turn the saw upside down and pull up and push
down on the motor unit.
2. Observe any movement of the motor mounting
mechanism.
3. Loosen or tighten the four hex screws (1) by hex
wrench for smooth operation. Only 1/8 turn at a time.
NOTE :
Do not adjust the screw more than 1/2 turn
as this may damage the mechanism.

4. Place a small amount of dry lubricant on the bevel
gear (2). The worm gear (3) must be kept clean and
free of sawdust, gum, pitch, and other contaminants
for smooth operations.
NOTE:
If excessive looseness is observed in any part of
the blade raising mechanism or tilting mechanism, take
the complete unit to a Service Centre.
LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the
factory and require no additional lubrication. On all
mechanical parts of your table saw where a pivot or
threaded rod are present, lubricate using graphite or
silicone. These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust as
would oil or grease.
REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES (Fig. UU)
Always disconnect the plug from the power source
before inspecting the brushes.
The carbon brushes included with the unit will last
approximately 50 hours of running time, or 10,000
ON/OFF cycles. Replace both carbon brushes when
either has less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining,
or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned.
