GENERAL MAINTENANCE
■
Keep your scroll saw clean.
■
After cleaning the table top initially, apply a thin coat of
automobile type (paste) wax to the table top so the wood
slides easily while cutting.
■
Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the saw table. Clean
with gum and pitch remover.
ARM BEARINGS
See Figure 14.
Lubricate the arm bearings after the first 10 hours of use. Oil
after every 50 hours of use or whenever there is a squeak
coming from the bearings.
■
Carefully place the saw on its side as shown in
Figure 14
.
Remove the rubber cap from the upper and the lower arm
of the saw.
■
Squirt a few drops of SAE20 oil around the shaft end and
arm bearings. Let oil soak in overnight, remaining in this
position.
Note:
Lubricate the bearings on the other side of the saw in
this same manner.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
