14 Care and Maintenance
- Always disconnect from power before servicing.
This machine is designed to require only minimal maintenance. It is recommended to protect it from high humidity, rain and agressive agents, such as acid vapors or solvents. All bearings and threaded rods, as well as the extrusions supporting the rip fence, should regularly given a light coating with gun oil.
To ensure smooth operation clean the threaded rod (218) of the main blade's rise and fall mechanism regularly with kerosene, then give a light coat of oil to the spindle and bearing. Keep saw blades from rust.
Regularly clean the motor's cooling fins from dust to ensure sufficient cooling.
