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 surfaces.

Lubrication

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. Wipe down the adjust- ment arm with a thin film of oil as required to pre- vent surface rust but not enough to attract dirt.
