WARNING!
Drum switch grease contains Petroleum Hydro-
carbon Lubricant. Eye and skin irritant. If introduced into
eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If film or irrita-
tion persists, seek medical attention. Wash skin with soap
and water. If ingested, do not induce vomiting - contact a
physician. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
CAUTION!
Do not over-grease the blade guide bearings.
Over-greasing will push the seals out of the bearings caus-
ing premature failure.
CAUTION!
Reinstall the track wiper so that it lightly touches
the track rail. If the wiper presses too firmly against the rail,
it can cause the power feed to bind.
CAUTION!
Never use grease on the mast rails as it will col-
lect sawdust.
CAUTION!
Do not use chain lube. It causes sawdust
buildup in chain links.
CAUTION!
Do not over-tension the up/down chain.
Over-tensioning may lead to early failure of the gear
reducer.
CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the feed chain. Damage to
the power feed motor may result.
