MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
damage from various types of commercial
solvents. Use clean cloths to remove dirt,
dust, oil, grease, etc.
Do not allow brake uid, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils,
etc., to come into contact with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic, which may result in serious personal
in-jury.
1. Periodically check all clamps, nuts,
bolts, and screws for tightness and
condition. Make sure that the throat plate
is in good condition and in the proper
position.
2. Check the blade guard assembly.
3. Clean blades using a gum and pitch
remover.
4. To maintain the table surfaces and rails,
periodically apply paste wax to them and
buff them to ensure smooth functioning.
To prevent work from slipping during
cutting operations, DO NOT wax the
working face of the miter gauge.
5. Protect the saw blade by cleaning
sawdust out from under the saw table
and between the blade teeth. Use a resin
solvent on the blade teeth. Do not use
gasoline!
6. Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp
cloth. Do not use any aerosol or
petroleum solvents.
LUBRICATION
1. This saw’s motor bearings have been
packed at the factory with proper
lubrication.
2. Clean screw threads and nuts using a
solvent recommended for gum and
pitch removal.
3. Lubricate screw threads, nuts, and
bearing points (including those on the
blade guard assembly and the miter
gauge).
