SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE

General

Unpainted Surfaces

Make a habit of inspecting your saw each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Dull or damaged blade.

5.Poor fence adjustment.

6.Poor blade adjustment.

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

Lubrication

Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. In a con- tinuous-use environment, expect the bearings to last for several years. With intermittent use, bear- ings can be expected to last much longer. All bearings are standard sizes and can be easily replaced.

As for the rest of the machine, greasing the rack and pinion is all that’s necessary to keep it in top working condition. Before applying, however, wipe off any sawdust with a cloth or towel.

Any non-painted surfaces on the Model G5045 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the saw clean after every use ensures that moisture from sawdust isn’t allowed to trap moisture against bare metal surfaces.

Some woodworkers recommend using automo- tive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron surfaces. The wax provides a layer of protection, as well as reducing friction between lumber and the table, making cuts faster and smoother. Avoid waxes that contain silicone or other synthetic ingredients. These materials can find their way into lumber that’s being cut, and can make stain- ing and finishing difficult. If you use paste wax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba wax.
