MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Bearings: The bearings are sealed and pre-lubri-
cated and require no lubrication.
Trunnions: Use multi-purpose grease in the trun-
nion grooves (Figure 116) every 6–12 months,
depending on the frequency of use. To grease the
blade height trunnion, move the blade height all
the way down and smear a dab of grease into
the trunnion groove, behind the plate shown in
Figure 116, then move the blade up all the way
to spread the grease.
To grease the blade tilt trunnions, move the
sliding table out of the way and open the blade
guard. Tilt the blade to 90°. From the front of
the saw, smear a dab of grease in the front of
the trunnion grooves on both sides. Now, tilt the
blade to 45° and reach inside the cabinet and
smear a dab of grease into the back of the trun-
nion grooves on both sides. Tilt the blade back-
and-forth to distribute the grease evenly.

Trunnions
Leadscrews: Use multi-purpose grease on the
leadscrews (Figure 116) every 6-12 months, at
the same time you lubricate the trunnions. Wipe
the leadscrews clean with a dry rag and brush a
light coat of new grease on them with a clean,
dry brush. Only grease the area of the leadscrew
between the stop nuts. Move the blade height
and tilt the blade back-and-forth to distribute
the grease evenly.
Sliding Table Ways: Spray/wipe on a light
machine oil (such as Boeshield) down the entire
length of the steel rods (Figure 115).
