MAINTENANCE

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1713 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following condi- tions and repair or replace when necessary:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Arm Bearings

The arm bearings (Figure 12) on each side of the scroll saw need to be lubricated after every 6-10 hours of use. Unplug the saw, lay it on its side, and apply a generous amount of SAE 20 oil. Let stand overnight. Perform the same procedure to the opposite side bearings.

Make sure that your machine is unplugged during any maintenance procedures except where instructed other- wise! If this warning is ignored, serious person- al injury may occur.
