SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

To prevent serious per- sonal injury from shock or accidental startup, always disconnect power from machine before doing any maintenance.

Schedule

The frequency of maintenance necessary for any machine will always depend on the operating con- ditions and environment. The schedule below is a basic guideline for keeping your machine in prop- er operating condition. Always repair any adverse conditions immediately upon discovery.

Daily (Ongoing)

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn or damaged saw blades.

•Worn or damaged switches or wires.

•Any other unsafe condition.

Weekly

•Clean sliding table surface and grooves.

•Lubricate the sliding table ways (Page 59).

•Clean the cast iron saw table.

•Clean the sliding table roller guideways.

•Clean the rip fence.

•Clean the rip fence bracket and rail.

Monthly

•Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi- net and off motor.

•Check V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

Every 6–12 Months

•Lubricate the trunnions (Page 59).

•Lubricate the elevation and tilt leadscrews (Page 59).

Note: To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blades, the V-belts must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and operate under proper tension.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0700 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust from the table saw and inside the cabinet. Wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.

Use compressed air (make sure to wear safety glasses and a respirator when doing this) to blow dust from between the two sections of the sliding table. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolv- ing cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use— this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. DO NOT clean cast iron with water or it will rust!

Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Page 56 for more details).
