BLADE RAiSiNG AND TiLTiNG MECHANISM (FIG. FF) After each five full hours of operation, the blade raising mechanism and tilting mechanism should be checked for looseness, binding, or other abnormalities. With the saw disconnected from the power source, turn the saw upside down and alternately pull upward and downward on the motor unit. Observe any movement of the motor mounting mechanism. Adjusted looseness or play in the blade raising screw (1) (Fig. FF). As follows:

1.Using a 14 mm wrench, loosen the check-nut (2).

2.Adjust nut (3) until it is finger-tight against the bracket (4), and then back off the nut (3) 1/6 turn.

3.Tighten nut (2) with a second 14 mm wrench, while holding nut (3) with the first wrench in place. Maximum allowable play of screw rod (1) is 0.16 in. (4 ram).

You can place a small amount of dry lubricant on bevel angle adjustment rod also. This rod (1) must be kept clean and free of sawdust, gum, pitch, and other contaminants for smooth operation.

tf excessive looseness is observed in any parts of the blade raising mechanism or tilting mechanism, take the complete unit to a Sears Service Center.

LUBRICATION

All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and require no additional lubrication.

On all mechanical parts of your table saw where a pivot or threaded rod are present, lubricate using graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust as would oil or grease.
