Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
For other items on this machine and before
occasionally applying lubricant, wipe the
machine clean. Then apply a thin coat of light
machine oil.
Remember your goal is to achieve corrosion
protection. Too much lubrication will attract
dirt and sawdust, which can damage your
machine and cause parts to bind or stick.
