specific instructions given in this section.

• Vacuum all dust on and around the
machine.
• Wipe down tables and all other unpainted

• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.

Schedule
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Below is a list of components that require periodic
lubrication. Be careful not to over-lubricate these
components. Large amounts of lubricant will
attract sawdust, causing the metal components
to gum up and bind.
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
lubricating! Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
