MAINTENANCE

General

MAINTENANCE

Regular periodic maintenance on your SHOP FOX® Model W1761/W1762 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:

Daily Check

•Check guard operation.

•Inspect blades for damage or wear.

•Check for loose mounting bolts/arbor nut.

•Check cords, plugs, and switch for damage.

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

•Vacuum dust buildup from inside the cabinet and off of the motor after use.

•Wipe the table clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Weekly Check

•Wipe down the table surface and grooves with a lubricant and rust preventive such as SLIPIT®.

•Clean the pitch and resin from the saw blade with a cleaner such as OxiSolv® Blade & Bit Cleaner.

Monthly

•Check the flat belt for damage or wear.

Cleaning

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Occasionally clean the internal parts with more than a vacuum. To do this, remove the table top and clean the internal parts with citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush or steel wool. DO NOT USE WATER—WATER WILL CAUSE CAST IRON TO RUST. Make sure the internal workings are dry before using the saw again, so that wood dust will not accumulate. If any essential lubrication is removed during cleaning, re-lubricate those areas.

-44-

Make sure that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

Lubrication

Lubricate the areas indicated below every 6–12 months, depending on frequency of use. These areas can be reached through the motor cover opening or the blade opening. Check all adjustments after lubri- cating.

Lubricate the following components with multi-purpose grease:

1.Trunnion and trunnion slide (where Parts 313 and 342 slide each other, on Page 64).

2.The worm gear, bevel gears, acme screw and shafts (Parts 399, 333, 338, 306, and 340 on Page 64).

Note: Using a small brush to apply the grease may be easier than using your fingers.
