Maintenance and troubleshooting
All tools and machines require regular maintenance, and the table saw is no exception.
This section details the general maintenance and care of your table saw. In general we
recommend that you only use a Teflon based lubricant on the table saw. Regular oil
attracts dust and dirt and the Teflon tends to dry and has fewer tendencies to accumulate
dirt and saw dust on your machine .We also recommend that you wax the table to help
prevent rust.
Weekly maintanince.
1
/ Check all nuts and bolts are tight
2 / Clean the machine, and check that the dust hose is clear. Make sure that all moveing
parts are clean and free from saw dust and dirt.
3 / Lubricate all moveing parts with a Teflon based lubricant.
4 / Wax the table and all none painted parts.
Drive belt tensioning Lock nuts
Drive belt
The drive belts should last for many years [depending on the usage] but need to be
inspected regularly for cracks, cuts and general wear. If damage is found replace both
belts.
Never replace only one belt, and only replace the belts with a matched pair.
To re-tension the belts, loosen both lock nuts. The weight of the motor should put enough
tension on the belts. Then tighten the lock nuts. The belts come factory set but after about
8 hours of use, the belts could need to be re-tensioned, as they will have bedded into the
“V” grooves.
Table insert
The table insert [throat plate] is made of a soft material, and is designed not to damage
the blade should they come in contact. If the blade slot becomes too wide, or the insert
becomes damaged by the blade it should be replaced.
Bearings.
All bearings are sealed for life, and do not require any maintenance. If a bearing becomes
faulty replace it.
