Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
For the moving mechanisms on the fence assem-
bly, an occasional application of light machine
oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubri-
cant, wipe the fence clean. Lubricate the pivot
points and move the fence back and forth as
shown in Figure 44. Your goal is to achieve ade-
quate lubrication. Too much lubrication will
attract dirt and sawdust.
Finally keep the sliding surfaces clean and free
of any dirt or sawdust. Give these areas, espe-
cially the key and keyway, an application of
white lithium grease as shown in Figure 45.
Graphite is also a great alternative to grease for
these areas because it does not attract dirt or
sawdust.

Sharpening Knives
Unless you are well experienced with knife
sharpening, have your knives sharpened by a
professional or simply replace them.

motor mount bolts (two are shown in Figure
46) in the dust chute.
