CAUTION: For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and removethe switch key.
Remove the plug from the power source before maintaining or lubricating your saw.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
e Frequently clean out all sawdust that has accumulated inside the saw base and around
the motor with a vacuum.
e Polish the saw table with an automotive polishing wax to keep it clean and to make it
easier to slide the workpiece.
e Clean the cutting blades with pitch and gum remover.
e Immediately replace a worn, cut or damaged power cord.
CAUTION: All electrical and mechanical repairs should be performed by a trained
repair technician. Call the Toll Free Helptine at 1-886-881-7202 for the technician
nearest you. Use only identical replacement parts. Any substitute parts may create a
hazard.
Use liquid dish washing detergent and water to clean all plastic parts. NOTE: Use of certain
cleaning chemicals may damage plastic parts.
Do not use the following cleaning chemicals or solvents on your table saw: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia.
BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM
After every five hours of operation, the blade
raising and tilting mechanisms should be
checked for looseness, binding or other
abnormalities. With the table saw disconnected
from the power source and removed from
the stand, turn the saw upside down and
alternately pull upward and downward on the
motor unit. Observe any movements in the
motor mounting mechanism. Looseness or
play in the blade screw rod (1) should be
adjusted as follows (Fig. 40).
Fig. 40
1. Using a 14 mm wrench, loosen jam nut (2).
2. Adjust nut (3) until it is finger-tight against the bracket (4), then loosen the nut (3) 1/6 of
a tu rn.
3. Tighten jam nut (2) with a wrench while holding nut (3) in place. Maximum allowable
play in screw rod (1) is 4 mm.
Place a small amount of dry lubricant such as graphite or silicone on the screw rod (1)
at the thrust washer (5). Do not oil threads of screw rod. The screw rod must be kept
clean and free of sawdust, gum, pitch and other contaminants for smooth operation. Wet
lubricants such as oil will attract sawdust, etc.
If excessive looseness is observed in any other part of the blade raising or tilting
mechanisms, call the Toll Free Helptine at 1-886-881-7202 for proper adjustment
procedures.
LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and require no additional
lubrication. On all mechanical parts of your table saw where a pivot or threaded rod is
present, lubricate using graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust as
will oil or grease.
