CAUTION!
For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the key. Remove the plug
from the power source before maintaining or lubricating your saw.
CAUTION!
All electrical and mechanical repairs should be performed by a qualified repair
technician. Use only identical replacement parts. Any substitute parts may create a hazard.
Clean out all sawdust that has accumulated inside the saw base and around the motor. Polish
the saw table with an automotive wax in order to keep it clean and to make it easier to slide the
workpiece. Clean the cutting blades with pitch and gum remover. Immediately replace a worn,
cut, or damaged power cord.
Use liquid dish washing detergent and water to clean all plastic parts. NOTE: The use of certain
cleaning chemicals may damage plastic parts. Do not use the following cleaning chemicals or
solvents on your table saw: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated solvents, ammonia, and
household detergents that contain ammonia.
The blade raising mechanisms should be checked for looseness, binding, or other abnormalities
after every five hours of operation. Disconnect the table saw from the power source and turn it
upside down, and then alternately pull upward and downward on the motor unit. Observe any
movement in the motor mounting mechanism. (See Fig. 32).
1. Turn the screw pole (1) in the fixed part (2)
connection with the wheel.
2. The power will be transferred by the taper
gear (3) and screw pole (4).
3. The pole (6) in the fixed part (5) will be
moved up and down.
Place a small amount of dry lubricant, such as
graphite or silicone, on the screw rod at the
thrust washer. Do not oil the threads of the
screw rod. For smooth operation, the screw
rod must be kept clean and free of sawdust,
gum, pitch, and other contaminants. Wet
lubricants such as oil will attract sawdust, etc.
If excessive looseness is observed in any other part of the blade raising or tilting mechanisms,
call the Toll-Free Helpline at 1-800-689-9928 for proper adjustment procedures.
All motor bearing are permanently lubricated at the factory, and do not require any additional
lubrication. Lubricate all mechanical parts of your table saw where a pivot or threaded rod is
present with graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust like oil or grease will.
