Miscellaneous Lubrication
1.
Apply a thin film of a lithium grease to the blade guide arm to help prevent it from rusting.
2.
Lubricate the feed track chain with an easily penetrating oil such as WD-40.
CAUTION!
Never apply grease to the feed track chain.
It causes sawdust buildup in chain links.
3.
Make sure all safety warning decals are readable. Remove sawdust and dirt. Replace any
damaged or unreadable decals immediately. Order decals from your Customer Service
Representative.
4.
Lubricate the acme screws (screws for saw head tilting and raising or lowering) with a
lithium grease every 50 hours of operation.
5.
Every 200 hours of machine operation, check the oil level and the condition of the
drive-side wheel shaft seals. To check the oil level, unscrew the oil drain plug (marked
with E in Figure 4-1). The oil level should be at the lower edge of the oil drain hole.
