MAINTENANCE
This table saw requires very little maintenance other than minor lubrication
and cleaning. The following sections detail what will need to be done in
order to assure continued operation of your saw.
LUBRICATION
The table saw has sealed lubricated bearings in the motor housing and the
arbor assembly, they will not require any additional lubrication. Use a wire
brush to clean off the worm gears and trunnions and apply a white lithium
grease to keep them lubricated.
CLEANING
Keep the inside of the cabinet clear of saw dust and wood chips. Open the
dust chute access door (A) Fig.27 by turning the lock knob (B) a 1/4 turn.
With the table saw unplugged, vacuum out the inside of the cabinet or blow
out the inside with an air hose.
The table top is designed to be maintenance free and, under normal shop
conditions, the Titanium Nitrite (TiN) coating will minimize the chance of
rust forming on the table top. While the distinctive gold color cast-iron top
is an indication that the surface is protected against rust and corrosion, that
protection does not diminish if the gold color is worn away by abrasion due
to normal use over time.
CHANGING BELTS
MAKE SURE THE POWER CORD IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE.
To remove the 3 V-belts (A) Fig.28, first lower the blade to its lowest point.
Loosen the large hex. nut (B) and then take the tension off of the V-belts by
lifting up on the motor. Remove the V-belts from the arbor shaft and the
motor pulley and replace them with new ones. Lower the motor, the weight
of the motor should apply enough tension and retighten large hex. nut (B).
Check the V-belt tension after the saw has been used for a few hours.
Adjust as necessary.
