PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Original Radial Arm Saws are designed to provide you with precision cutting with a minimal amount of mainte-
nance. The frequency of the maintenance depends on the amount of use and the desired cutting quality.
Always disconnect and lockout power supply before performing maintenance.
After every 10 –20 hours of use the column should be wiped down with a clean dry rag. Wipe the tracks of
the arm with a clean rag and either denatured alcohol or paint thinner. Move the carriage back and forth sev-
eral times and clean it again. DO NOT lubricate the arm tracks; doing so may cause excessive arm wear due
to dust attracting to the arm tracks. Keep the tracks clean and dry; periodically wipe or vacuum sawdust from
all exposed surfaces. Check for loose or broken parts and replace if necessary with genuine Original Saw
Parts. Check the blade to see if it is sharp and free of wobble.
Adjustment and alignment of saw is necessary only when cutting results in unacceptable accuracy.
After many years of use your saw may need replacement parts. If any of the following wears out all others
listed should be checked also.
Rollerhead bearings: Check for free, smooth rotation. Do not attempt to lubricate.
Arm Tracks: If the saw is used primarily for short cut-offs, the tracks may wear making it difficult to adjust
the rollerhead bearing for full length arm travel. Arms can generally be remachined—contact Original Saw for
pricing and shipping instructions.
Motor bearings: Check for free, smooth rotation. Do not attempt to lubricate.
Elevating mechanism: Remove, clean and lubricate with with type EP grease. Examine threads in the nut for
wear.
