NOTE
DO NOT use lacquer thinner to clean the Saw
Guards. This solvent dissolves the plastic parts,
distorting them or making them cloudy.
2. Every 10 hours of running time, wax and
buff the Riving Knife on the Upper Saw
Guard. Check that the anti-kickback sys-
tem and the Lower Saw Guard operate
smoothly. If either of these seems stiff,
apply powdered graphite or a dry lubri-
cant product to the rods. DO NOT use oil
on these parts.
SANDING DISC
1. As you work, sawdust, wood oils, glues
and other materials will "load up" on the
Sandpaper. As needed, hold an abrasive
cleaning stick against the Disc while the
MARK V is running at slow speed. The
soft rubber reaches in between the grit
and digs out the impacted materials with-
out stripping the abrasive off the sand-
paper.
DRILL CHUCK
1. Every 10 hours of running time, apply a
small amount of powdered graphite or a
dry lubricant product to the inside of the
Drill Chuck to keep it operating
smoothly.
SAW BLADES, DRILL BITS, LATHE TOOLS,
ETC. ...
1. These Cutters will become dull with use.
Sharpen as needed. A sharp cutter per-
forms better and is safer.
STORING
1. In normal use, regular cleaning, lubrica-
tion, and waxing will prevent the fer-
rous parts of the MARK V from rusting.
However, if the machine is to be stored
for an extended period or under unusu-
ally humid or corrosive conditions, spray
the Way Tubes, Saw Blades, Drill Chuck
and Bits, and any other ferrous parts and
accessories with a rust-inhibiting light
oil. Remove this oil with mineral spirits
and rewax the MARK V before using it
again.
