MAINTENANCE
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING
YOUR SAW.
When you receive your new Craftsman radial saw, it
requires no lubrication. The radial saw has been partially aligned and all bearings are lubricated and sealed for life. In
time, however, in order to keep your saw in perfect working order and accurate, it will be necessary to lubricate and realign. In fact, your radial saw needs more of a cleaning than a lubrication.
Make sure the teeth of the ANTI KICKBACK pawls are always sharp. Replace if not sharp.
LUBRICATION
Your saw is precision built and should be kept clean and
properly lubricated. Before describing the various points
which may periodically require lubrication, IT IS MORE
IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE VARIOUS POINTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED.
NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED
Do not lubricate carriage ball bearings or motor bearings as
these are sealed ball bearings and require no added lubrication.
Do not lubricate between radial arm cap and radial arm.
PERIODICALLY LUBRICATE THESE POINTS
Use SAE No, 10W30 automotive engine oil and refer to Parts List for locations. Apply a few drops of oil along the swivel latch pin and bevel index pin only if the pin has a tendency to stick. Remove the
A light film of oil should be wiped on the face of the column tube to lubricate the fit between the column tube,
and column support.
The thread on the elevation shaft assembly can be
lubricated through the oil hole in the center of the radial arm cap.
CAUTION: | Excessive | oil at any location | will attract |
airborne dust particles and sawdust. |
