Lubricate the following components with
multi-purpose grease:
1. Trunnion and trunnion slide (where
Parts 313 and 342 slide each other, on
Page 64).
2. The worm gear, bevel gears, acme
screw and shafts
(Parts 399, 333,
338, 306, and 340 on Page 64).

Regular periodic maintenance on your SHOP FOX
®
Model
W1761/W1762 will ensure its optimum performance. Make
a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary:
Daily Check
• Check guard operation.
• Inspect blades for damage or wear.
• Check for loose mounting bolts/arbor nut.
• Check cords, plugs, and switch for damage.
• Any other condition that could hamper the safe
operation of this machine.
• Vacuum dust buildup from inside the cabinet and off
of the motor after use.
• Wipe the table clean after every use—this ensures
moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare
metal surfaces.
Weekly Check
• Wipe down the table surface and grooves with a
lubricant and rust preventive such as SLIPIT®.
• Clean the pitch and resin from the saw blade with a
cleaner such as OxiSolv® Blade & Bit Cleaner.
Monthly
• Check the flat belt for damage or wear.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off
the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built
up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it. Treat all
unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant
after cleaning.
Occasionally clean the internal parts with more than a
vacuum. To do this, remove the table top and clean the
internal parts with citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a
stiff wire brush or steel wool. DO NOT USE WATER—WATER
WILL CAUSE CAST IRON TO RUST. Make sure the internal
workings are dry before using the saw again, so that wood
dust will not accumulate. If any essential lubrication is
removed during cleaning, re-lubricate those areas.
Cleaning
General
