MAINTENANCE
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING
YOUR SAW.
When you receive your new Craftsman radial saw, it
requires no lubrication. The radial saw has been partially
aligned and all bearings are lubricated and sealed for life. In
time, however, in order to keep your saw in perfect
working order and accurate, it will be necessary to lubricate
and realign. In fact, your radial saw needs more of a
cleaning than a lubrication.
Make sure the teeth of the ANTI KICKBACK pawls are
always sharp. Replace if not sharp.
LUBRICATION
Your saw is precision built and should be kept clean and
properly lubricated. Before describing the various points
which may periodically require lubrication, IT IS MORE
IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE VARIOUS
POINTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED.
NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED
Do not lubricate carriage ball bearings or motor bearings as
these are sealed ball bearings and require no added
lubrication.
Do not lubricate between radial arm cap and radial arm.
PERIODICALLY LUBRICATE THESE POINTS
Use SAE No, 10W30 automotive engine oil and refer to
Parts List for locations. Apply a few drops of oil along the
swivel latch pin and bevel index pin only if the pin has a
tendency to stick. Remove the left-hand carriage cover and
use oil sparingly to prevent it from getting on the ball
bearings or races.
A light film of oil should be wiped on the face of the
column tube to lubricate the fit between the column tube,
and column support.
The thread on the elevation shaft assembly can be
lubricated through the oil hole in the center of the radial
arm cap.
CAUTION: Excessive oil at any location will attract
airborne dust particles and sawdust.
