Grizzly G0451 instruction manual Lubrication, Gear lubrication

Lubrication

The bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated and require no lubrication during their usable life. However, your saw components will operate at their best if the bearing surfaces are kept clean—this is especially important for the trun- nion bearings.

Lubricate the areas indicated below every 6-12 months, depending on frequency of use.

1.Blade angling trunnions. These should be lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil (see Figure 87).
