MAINTENANCE
General maintenance should be preformed on your saw to keep it free from
problems and working in its peak condition. The following are general guidelines
to help with regular maintenance.
NOTE – Before performing any maintenance, UNPLUG your saw from the power
source and turn the switch assembly to OFF.
ALWAYS wear eye protection when performing maintenance to avoid damage to
your eyes. It is also a good idea to wear a dust mask to prevent respiratory
problems if the conditions are very dusty.
• Maintain the table surface by periodically applying a coat of paste wax and
buffing out the table. The same can be done for the rails of the table saw.
• NOTE – DO NOT wax the working surface of the miter gauge.
• Occasionally clean all plastic parts with a soft damp cloth and water.
• Occasionally check all nuts, bolts, clamps and screws to ensure that
everything is tight.
• Check the throat plate is in the correct position and in good condition.
• Check the blade guard assembly is still in the correct position and not
loose.
• Always check that your saw blades are free from pitch and build up.
• Periodically check and clean the saw dust underneath the saw table and
also in the saw blades teeth.
• To clean screw threads and the nuts use a solvent that is designed for
pitch and gum removal. Lubricate the nuts, bearings, and screw threads
from time to time.
