INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1. WARNING! All repairs or service, aside from those procedures explained in this
manual, should be attempted only by a qualified technician.
2. WARNING! Make sure the Power Switch of the Table Saw is in its “OFF” position
and that the tool is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection,
maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
3. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Table Saw. Check for loose screws,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical
wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or
vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged
equipment.
4. Cleaning – After each use, apply compressed air to blow clean all the parts of the Table
Saw.
5. Saw Blades – Never use a replacement blade rated lower than 5,200 RPM, and larger
than 10 inches diameter.
6. Motor Brushes – Periodically inspect the two motor Carbon Brushes (138) Replace if
necessary by a qualified service technician. Improper Brush maintenance can cause
motor failure. The Brush Caps (139) are located on each side of the motor housing.
7. Lubrication – The Table Saw does not require initial lubrication. Periodically, however,
check all moving parts (i.e., knobs, levers, column shaft, Elevating Handle, shafts) to
make sure that they move smoothly. If lubrication is required, use a small amount of light
oil.
8. Motor Preventative Maintenance – In addition to worn motor Brushes, the following are
major causes of motor failure:
- Using a dull or sticking Saw Blade
- Feeding the stock through the Saw Blade too fast
- Starting the cut before the Saw Blade has reached full speed
- Abnormal friction caused by improper alignment of the motor assembly, especially when
ripping
- Low current or voltage supplied to the machine
- Buildup of dust in the motor housing, which prevents proper cooling.
9. Storage – Store the Table Saw in a clean and dry location. Cover with a tarp.
