MAINTENANCE

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your machine will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it.

Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Damaged wheel rubber.

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

Cleaning

Frequently blow-off sawdust with compressed air. This is especially important for the internal working parts and motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to decrease its life span. If the wheels become loaded up with pitch, oil, or other residues, wipe them clean using a clean rag and a mild solvent. Avoid touching the plastic or paint with mineral spirits or you may damage the sur- faces.

Lubrication

Make sure that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance pro- cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

MAINTENANCE

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them. However, periodically oil the lock lever and T-handle threads to ensure free operation and wipe down the adjustment arm with a thin film of oil as required to prevent surface rust.
