10.0 Maintenance
Always disconnect power to
the machine before performing maintenance.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
Use vacuum or compressed air to clear out cabinet
interior of sawdust and wood chips. Make sure
motor fan and fan cover are also kept clear of
sawdust.
Use a wire brush to clean worm gears and
trunnions. Apply white lithium grease or powdered
graphite to lubricate worm gears and trunnions.
Keep a light coat of rust-preventive on the table top
when not in use. If rust develops on tabletop,
remove it with WD-40
®
and a Scotch-Brite™ Hand
Pad.
The saw arbor is press fitted in the saw raising arm
housing. If the arbor ever needs to be removed for
bearing replacement, it should be done by a
qualified service technician. Call your customer
