General Information
When new, the saw requires no lubrica- tion. The saw has been partially aligned
and all bearings are lubricated and sealed for life. In time, in order to keep the saw in good working order, it will be necessary to clean, lubricate and
WARNING
To avoid shock, burns, or lacera- tions from accidental start up of saw, turn power switch off and unplug
saw before doing maintenance or servicing saw.
Cleaning
Periodically remove any heavy
sawdust that may accumulate on the saw. The absorbing tendency of sawdust will draw lubricants away from the areas where they are needed. Wipe the carriage bearings and track surfaces with a dry or lightly oiled cloth. If packed sawdust and
grease build up repeatedly on the carriage bearings, inspect the track wipers for wear and replace if necessary.
To avoid motor damage due to sawdust
Lubrication

You can lubricate other points if neces-
sary, but only when sticking or binding oc- curs. Use a small amount of SAE No
