SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
V-Belt
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check pul-
leys to ensure that they are properly aligned. See
pulley/V-belt sections for proper tension and pul-
ley alignment procedures.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
G7945/46 will ensure its optimum performance.
Make a habit of inspecting your machine each
time you use it. Check for the following conditions
and repair or replace when necessary:
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Damaged V-belt.
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
General
Tables
The nonpainted surfaces on the Model G7945/46
should be protected against rust and pitting.
Wiping the machine clean after every use ensures
that wood dust will not trap moisture against bare
metal surfaces.
Some woodworkers recommend using automo-
tive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron sur-
faces. The wax provides a layer of protection, as
well as reducing friction between lumber and the
table, making cuts faster and smoother. Avoid
waxes that contain silicone or other synthetic
ingredients. These materials can find their way
into lumber that is being worked, and can make
staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste
wax, make sure that it is 100% Carnauba wax.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance,
assembly or adjust-
ments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire mainte-
nance process. Failure
to comply may result in
serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
