Maintenance
General Information
To lubricate swivel index pin:
When new, the saw requires no lubrica-
tion. The saw has been partially aligned
and all bearings are lubricated and sealed
for life. In time, in order to keep the saw
in good working order, it will be necessary
to clean, lubricate and re-align.
WARNING
To avoid shock, burns, or lacera-
tions from accidental start up of saw,
turn power switch off and unplug
saw before doing maintenance or
servicing saw.
1. Rotate blade to either rip position.
2. Apply a few drops of oil along index
pin, as shown below.
To lubricate bevel index pin:
1. Bevel motor to 45 °.

Cleaning
Periodically remove any heavy build-up of
sawdust that may accumulate on the saw.
The absorbing tendency of sawdust will
draw lubricants away from the areas
where they are needed. Wipe the carriage
bearings and track surfaces with a dry or
lightly oiled cloth. If packed sawdust and
grease build up repeatedly on the carriage
bearings, inspect the track wipers for wear
and replace if necessary.

Pin
To avoid motor damage due to sawdust
build-up, which interferes with normal
motor ventilation, vacuum the motor
often.
Lubrication
Do not lubricate motor bearings, carriage
bearings, or the area between the miter
locking rings and the column tube. Motor
and carriage bearings are sealed and do
not need added lubrication.
You can lubricate other points if neces-
sary, but only when sticking or binding oc-
curs. Use a small amount of SAE No
10W-30 automotive engine oil. Excess oil
attracts airborn dust and sawdust.
To lubricate the bearing points where the
radial arm attaches to the column tube:
1. Remove rear arm cover.
2. Apply oil to two areas indicated by ar-
rows. Note: Do not get oil on locking ring,
oil will make it slippeq and unable to lock
securely in non-indexed miter positions.
