Lubrication
The bearings on your bandsaw are factory lubri- cated and sealed. Merely leave them alone unless they need to be replaced.
When needed, brush a light coat of multi-purpose grease on the tension leadscrew (all Models) and guide post rack (Model G8146Z only) to maintain smooth operation (see Figures 44 & 45).

If the table becomes difficult to tilt, position it so that you can brush a thin coat of multi-purpose grease on the trunnion surface (see Figure 46).
