Feed Belt Drive: Lubricate with lithium grease monthly. Wipe sawdust and dirt impregnated grease off of the chain and gears shown in Figures 28 & 29. Apply fresh lithium grease to the gears and chain.
Table Lift Mechanism: Lubricate the table lift screws, chain, and helical gear with lithium grease every six months. Clean the chain and table lift screws (Figure 30), then rub lithium grease onto the chain links and screw threads. Clean the heli- cal gear (Figure 31) and place a dab of grease on the teeth. Move the table up or down to spread the grease thoroughly throughout the mechanism.
