SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
V-Belt
Avoid getting grease or oil on the V-belt or pul-
leys. Check the V-belt, as part of a monthly
inspection for proper tension and belt condition.
Cracking and glazing could result in belt failure.
Replace the belt if such conditions appear.
General
Lubrication
The only parts on this machine that require peri-
odic lubrication are the ways where the cartridge
slide rides on the elevation housing and where
the worm gear and bushing are located. Use a
light grease or anti-seizing compound on the
ways and worm gear, and give the shaft mount a
shot of light oil.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any adjustments or
maintenance. Failure to
do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
Table
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica-
tions of products like Boeshield
®
T-9. For long
term storage you may want to consider products
like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.
Schedule
Regularly blow out air vents with compressed air
and keep the exhaust port clear. Always wear a
dust mask during this operation.
For every 1 hour of use, clean and wipe down
with Boeshield™ T-9:
• Table and miter gauge slide
• Fence faces
For every 5 hours of use, clean and oil:
• Spindle column and cartridge
• Offset adjustment mechanisms on fence
• All worm drive and other gears
Once a year, replace the V-belt.
