for smooth operation.
lf
excessive
looseness
is observed in
any

LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are
permanently
lubricated
at
the factory
and require
no

lubrication.
On all
mechanical
parts
of
your
table saw where a
pivot
or
threaded rod
are
present,
lubricate using
graphite
or silicone.
These dry
lubricants will not
hold
sawdust
as would oil or
grease.
