The motors are specially designed for masonry sawing.  It is totally enclosed and  the 

sealed bearings require no lubrication.  The motor is equipped with thermal   overload 
protection.

cooling fins. 

2.  If the motor becomes overheated, the protector shuts the motor off.  Turn the motor 

switch to the "OFF" and identify the cause of overheating.

D. Blade Shaft Bearings 

The blade shaft bearings are lubricated and should not require daily lubrication 
under normal conditions.  However, to assure long life the bearings do need to be 
lubricated periodically.  The time interval between greasing is dependent on the running 
speed and operating conditions.  The following chart covers most situations and can be 
used as a guide.
