GENERAL MAINTENANCE
IA WARNINGI
Before maintaining or lubricating the saw, turn
switch off, remove the switch key, and unplug the
SaW.
1. Clean out all sawdust that has accumulated inside
the saw cabinet and the motor.
2. Polish the saw table with an automotive wax to keep
it clean and to make it easier to slide the workpiece.
3. Clean cutting blades with pitch and gum remover.
4. Immediately replace a worn, cut, or damaged power
cord.
[A WARNINGI
All electrical or mechanical repairs should be
attempted only by a trained repair technician.
Contact the nearest Sears Service Center for
service. Use only identical replacement parts. Any
other parts may create a hazard.
5. Use liquid dish washing detergent and water to clean
all plastic parts.
NOTE: Certain cleaning chemicals can damage
plastic parts.
6. Avoid use of the following cleaning chemicals or
solvents: ammonia and household detergents
containing ammonia.
BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM
After each five full hours of operation, the blade raising
mechanism and tilting mechanism should be checked
for looseness, binding, or other abnormalities. With the
saw disconnected from the power source, turn the saw
upside down and alternately pull upward and downward
on the motor unit. Observe any movement of the motor
mounting mechanism. Adjust looseness or play in the
blade raising screw (1) (Fig. FF) as follows:
1. Using a 14 mm wrench, loosen the check-nut (2).
2. Adjust nut (3) until it is finger-tight against the bracket
(4), and then back off the nut (3) 1/6 turn.
3. Tighten nut (2) with a second 14 mm wrench,
while holding nut (3) with the first wrench in place.
Maximum allowable play of screw rod (1) is 0.16 in.
(4 ram).

You can place a small amount of dry lubricant on
bevel angle adjustment rod also. This rod (1) must be
kept clean and free of sawdust, gum, pitch, and other
contaminants for smooth operation.
If excessive looseness is observed in any parts of the
blade raising mechanism or tilting mechanism, take the
complete unit to a Sears Service Center.
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 are present, lubricate using graphite or
silicone. These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust as
would oil or grease.
