MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
ThisCraftsman Saw is a fine machine and should be given
the best of care. If kept clean and properly lubricated, it
will provide many years of trouble-free service. The follow-
ing instructions should be carefully observed at all times.
1. Tilt worm, elevating worm and gears are covered with.
grease at the factory and should be checked occasionally
for proper lubrication.
Clean the worm and gear teeth with kerosene or similar
solvent and repack lightly with cup grease or automo-
tive chassis lubricant. (See figure 43.)
2. The saw motor bearings have been packed at the factory
with proper lubricant and require no additional lubrica-
tion. Other parts requiring lubrication should be oiled
frequently with SAE No. 20 or No. 30 engine oil. The
following parts should be lubricated regularly. (Refer
to exploded view drawing for the following locations,
if not apparent.)
a. Table trunnions.
b. Elevation shaft directly behind elevation hand wheel.
c. Clamp screw.
3. All points where friction exists between two or more
moving surfaces, or where a slip fit is necessary for
adjustment purposes, should be oiled occasionally.
4. If the saw is to be left standing for some time, particu-
larly in damp climates, the table top surface should be
coated with light engine oil or Sears "Stop Rust". Either
material may be easily wiped off with a cloth before
using the saw. Treat any unpainted parts and surfaces
with Sears "Stop Rust". ("Stop Rust" is available at any
Sears Retail Stores or Catalog Order House.)
NOTE: The aluminum table extensions may be
adequately protected by applying a heavy
coat of automobile or furniture wax. The wax
also enables boards to slide more easily across
the table extensions.
5. Attention should be given to moving parts in the rip
fence and miter gauge, to keep them clean and lubri-
cated.
6.
After extended use, slight wear may cause the elevation
lock to slip and an adjustment is required. Remove the
screw that holds the lock wrench and shift the wrench
to a different hole. (See figure 43.) If the holes do not
provide enough adjustment, remove the lock wrench and
re-position it on the hex nut. The adjustment is correct
when it is securely locked with the elevation lock knob
approximately one-inch away from the front panel.
