There are two feed roller bearings. The picture below points out the location of these bearings. 

These bearings should be greased lightly every 20 hours of use. 

Feed Roller Slide

The feed roller slide should always be wet with grease. Grease the feed slides every 10 hours (this 

might be excessive but too much grease won’t damage the feed slide); the right feed slide grease 

fittings can be accessed through the holes in the shield shown in Figure 17
