MAINTENANCE
This will avoid a break-in period that reduces motor performance and increases wear.
LUBRICATION (Fig. 32)
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.
