SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G1023SL/G1023SLX will ensure its optimum per- formance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the fol- lowing conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

1.Guard alignment and operation.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Damaged V-belt.

5.Loose mounting bolts.

6.Inspect blades for damage.

7.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

V-Belt

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belts must be in good condition and operate under the proper tension. When replacing V-belts, replace all three at the same time Ñeven if they do not all appear worn.

Belt tension should be checked at least every 3 months; more often if using the table saw inten- sively.

The V-belts are accessed through the cavity on the right side of the saw. They link the arbor and motor pulleys. To check V-belt tension:

1.With moderate pressure, push the center of each V-belt.

2.Note the amount of deflection. Deflection should be approximately 1Ú2", similar to

Figure 42.

Tables

The nonpainted surfaces on the Model G1023SL/G1023SLX should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the machine clean after every use ensures that wood dust is not allowed to trap moisture against bare metal surfaces.

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica- tions of products like SLIPIT¨. For long term stor- age you may want to consider products like Boeshield T-9ª.

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance or repairs. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
