MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, fol- low this maintenance schedule and refer to any spe- cific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Damaged saw blade.

•Worn or damaged wires.

•Any other unsafe condition.

Monthly Check:

•V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

•Clean and vacuum dust buildup from inside wheel covers and off of motor.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model ST1000 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of quality lubricants or surface protectants.

Lubrication

Sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bearings are standard sizes, and replacements can be pur- chased from our parts department or a bearing sup- ply store.

For adjustment controls, an occasional “shot” of light oil is just about all that is necessary. Wipe off any sawdust with a clean cloth, towel or dry paint brush, and spray on the lubricant. Do not get oil on the pul- leys or V-belt because it could cause belt deteriora- tion and slipping.
