SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the
worktable and base. This could cause difficulty
in the movement of the worktable when setting
up a miter cut. Frequently blow out or vacuum
up the sawdust.
If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection
to keep debris from blowing into eyes.
LUBRICATION (FIG. 48)
All the motor bearings in this tool are lubricated
with a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant
for the life of the unit under normal operating
conditions; therefore, no further lubrication is
required.
Lubricate the following as necessary:
Chop pivot:
Light machine oil or aerosol will
penetrate from the ends of the junction points.
A qualified service technician can remove the
pivot unstop to relieve tension and the 2 metric
set screws holding the shaft, in order to drive
the shaft about 3/4 in. right. Exposed surfaces
are lubricated with automotive type oil.
Central pivot of plastic guard:
Use light
household oil (sewing machine oil) on metal-to-
metal or metal-to-plastic guard contact areas
as required for smooth, quiet operation. Avoid
excessive oil as sawdust will cling to it.
