LUBRICATION
All the motor bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufcient 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: Apply light machine oil to points indicated in
illustration.
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.
