W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw

MAINTENANCE

V-Belts

The V-belts may stretch a little as the saw is used and may need to be tightened from time to time. Replacing the V-belts is not much harder than tightening them, but you must make sure you replace the V-belts with a match- ing set.

Cleaning

Frequently blow-off dust with compressed air. Dust build- up around the motor and internal working parts will decrease the saw's life span.

Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the inter- nal parts with more than compressed air. To do this, remove the table top and clean the internal parts with a citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush or steel wool. If any essential lubrication is removed during cleaning, relubricate those areas.

MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance pro- cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

MAINTENANCE

Table & Base

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of a quality metal protectant/lubricant.

Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.

Lubricate the following areas every six to twelve months according to frequency of use:

•Blade angling trunnions. These should be lubricated with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.

•Blade height trunnion. This should also be lubricat-

ed with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.

•The two worm gears should be lubricated with

either graphite or white lithium grease. Figure 62. Lubrication points.
