MAINTAINING YOUR SCROLL SAW
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumu-late inside
the motor. An occasional coat of paste wax on the table will
allow the wood being cut to glide smoothly across the work
surface.
CAUTION: Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gaso-line, carbon
tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents that contain ammonia. Avoiding
use of these and other types of cleaning agents
minimises the probability of damage.
LUBRICATION
Arm Bearings - Lubricate the arm bearings with oil after
10 hours of use. Re-oil after every 50 hours of use or when-
ever there is a squeak com-ing from the bearings.
To Lubricate
1. Turn saw on its side.
2. Squirt a generous amount of SAE 20 oil around the shaft
end and bronze bearing.
3. Let the oil soak in overnight in this condition.
4. Next day repeat the above procedure for the opposite
side of the saw.
