13.1 Lubrication
All ball bearings are permanently lubricated and
sealed. They require no further lubrication.
The gear box lubricant should be changed after the
first 50 hours of operation. Change lubricant from
then on every 250 hours of operation.
To check level of gear box lubricant, place saw arm
in down position and allow a few minutes to pass
so that oil drains down. Check level in sight glass
on side of gear casing. Correct level is the dot in
the middle of sight glass.
To change gear box lubricant:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.

completely. Drain plug may be found on lower
rear of gear case. Remove drain plug with a
hex wrench.
3. Replace drain plug.
4. Remove filler cap (A, Figure 18) and fill gear
box with 50 weight gear oil until level reaches
dot in middle of sight glass.
5. Replace filler cap.

parts as needed.
