MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model W1772/W1773 is relatively easy. From time to time, vacuum wood dust off of the internal compo- nents, especially the motor.

Lubrication

Moving parts, such as chains, should be lubricated peri- odically with a light machine oil. Motor bearings need no lubrication.

Pillow Bearing: Must be lubricated every 20 hours of operation. Use a high-quality, lithium-based grease. A grease fitting (Figure 32) is located on the top of each pillow bearing. Give only one to two pumps of the grease gun. Too much grease can pop seals out.
