STORAGE

STORING THE MITER GAGE, AND ARBOR WRENCHES

1.When not in use, the miter gage (A) Fig. 79 can be stored through the hole located at the front side of the stand.

2.Arbor wrenches (C) Fig. 79, can be stored on one of the two notched legs.

DUST CHUTE

The saw stand support panel (D) Fig. 80 also serves as a natural built-in dust chute. This dust chute (D) allows the sawdust to conveniently escape out the rear of the saw stand and away from the work area.

REPOSITIONING MOTOR

FOR STORAGE

When the saw is not in use, the motor can be repositioned so that it hangs straight down at the rear, enabling you to move the saw against a wall. This can be accomplished by removing the belt and repositioning the motor and motor mounting plate, as shown in Fig. 81.

MAINTENANCE

KEEP MACHINE CLEAN

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.

Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.

FAILURE TO START

Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.

PROTECTING CAST IRON TABLE FROM RUST

To clean and protect cast iron tables from rust, you will need the following materials: 1 pushblock from a jointer, 1 sheet of medium Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand Pad, 1 can of WD-40®, 1 can of degreaser, 1 can of TopCote® Aerosol. Apply the WD-40 and polish the table surface with the Scotch-Brite pad using the pushblock as a holddown. Degrease the table, then apply the TopCote® accordingly.

LUBRICATION

Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and extension table or other work surface weekly.
