SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
To prevent serious per-
sonal injury from shock
or accidental startup,
always disconnect power
from
doing any maintenance.
Schedule
The frequency of maintenance necessary for any
machine will always depend on the operating con-
ditions and environment. The schedule below is a
basic guideline for keeping your machine in prop-
er operating condition. Always repair any adverse
conditions immediately upon discovery.
Daily (Ongoing)
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Worn or damaged saw blades.
•
Worn or damaged switches or wires.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
Weekly
•
Clean sliding table surface and grooves.
Lubricate the sliding table ways (Page 59).
•
•
Clean the cast iron saw table.
•
Clean the sliding table roller guideways.
•
Clean the rip fence.
•
Clean the rip fence bracket and rail.
Monthly
•
Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi-
net and off motor.
•
Check V-belt tension, damage, or wear.
Every 6–12 Months
•
Lubricate the trunnions (Page 59).
•
Lubricate the elevation and tilt leadscrews
(Page 59).
Note: To ensure optimum power transmission
from the motor to the blades, the V-belts must be
in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and
wear) and operate under proper tension.

Cleaning
Cleaning the Model G0700 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust from
the table saw and inside the cabinet. Wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth.
Use compressed air (make sure to wear safety
glasses and a respirator when doing this) to blow
dust from between the two sections of the sliding
table. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolv-
ing cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast
iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after
cleaning.
Unpainted Cast Iron
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping the table clean after every use—
this ensures moisture from wood dust does not
remain on bare metal surfaces. DO NOT clean
cast iron with water or it will rust!
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
products like G96
