Maintenance
WARNING:
To avoid
shock,
burns,
or lacera-
tions
from
accidental
start up of
saw, turn power
switch off and un-
plug saw before doing maintenance
or servicing
saw.
General Information
When new, the saw requires
no lubrica-
tion. The saw has been partially
aligned
and all bearings
are lubricated
and
sealed for life. Ill time, in order to keep
the saw in good working
order, it will be
necessary
to clean, lubricate
and realign.
Replacing
Pawls
Make sure the teeth
of the antikickback
pawls are always sharp. If they become
dull they must be replaced.
To replace:
1.Use v2" wrench
or socket to remove
5/lg' hex nut and old pawls.
2. Assemble
new antikickback
pawls
and spreader
to bar.
3. Align spreader
to blade according
to
instructions
in Alignment
and Adjust-
ment.
Cleaning
Periodically remove any heavy build-up
of sawdust that may accumulate
on the
saw. The absorbing tendency of sawdust
will draw lubricants away from the areas
where they are needed. Wipe the car-
riage bearings and track surfaces with a
dry or lightly oiled cloth.
To avoid motor damage due to sawdust
build-up, which interferes with normal
motor ventilation, blow out or vacuum
the motor often.
Lubrication
Do not lubricate motor bearings. Motor
bearings are sealed and do not need
added lubrication.
You can lubricate
other points
if neces-
sary, but only when sticking
or binding
occurs.
Adjustments
for Wear
Bevel Lock
The bevel lock needs adjustment
if the
motor can be moved by hand when the
bevel lock is locked. To make adjust-
ment:
1. Use v8"hex wrench to loosen screw
under right comer (pivot point) of bevel
lock just enough to allow bevel lock
lever to drop down. (See figure 2,
Repair Parts.)
2. Use bevel lock lever as wrench to in-
crease locking characteristics.
3. Test lock for desired
locked/unlocked
condition.
Repeat
step 2 if necessary.
4. Tighten
screw.
Swivel Lock
The swivel lock is a friction lock that
prevents play between the yoke and car-
riage (#41 and #12, figure 2, Repair
Parts). It needs adjustment
if the lock
handle has to be moved more than 90°
to lock. To make adjustment:
1. Use 1s/if' wrench
to tighten
nut (#1,
figure 2, Repair
Parts).
2. Test lock, and repeat step 1 as needed.
