MAINTENANCE

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH INDICATING THE CIRCUIT IS BEING WORKED ON.

LUBRICATION

The motor has permanently lubricated ball bearings and requires no additional lubrication.

The slide bar for the upper guide and guard assembly also requires no lubrication.

Occasionally, you should apply a small amount of mineral oil to the six ball bearing rollers underneath the carriage.

On a more frequent basis, the gauge plate slide rod and the pulley shafts need a few drops of tasteless mineral oil.

CHANGING SAW BLADES

If changing saw blades, disassemble components as described in REMOVING THE BLADE, page 7, and the instructions for any component throughout the manual. Make sure wipers, scrapers, and all other components are properly reassembled. Refer to BLADE TENSION, page 7. Refer to LOWER BLADE GUIDE, page 6.
