Vertical Mast Rails
Clean and lubricate the vertical mast rails every 50 hours of operation. Clean with solvent and remove any rust
with a light-grade sand paper or emery cloth. Lubricate the mast with motor oil or automatic transmission fluid
(ATF).
CAUTION!
Never use grease on the mast rails as it will collect sawdust.

tion. Use only contact grease supplied by Wood-Mizer. Remove the control panel cover. Use a cotton swab to
apply grease to the switch contact ends.
