MAINTENANCE
NO LUBRICATION
REQUIRED
WARNING:
FOR YOUR
OWN
SAFETY,
TURN
SWITCH
"OFF"
AND
REMOVE
PLUG
FROM
POWER
SOURCE
OUTLET
BEFORE
MAINTAINING
OR
LUBRICATING
YOUR
SAW.
When
you
receive
your
new
Craftsman
radial
saw,
it
requires
no lubrication.
The
radial
saw has been
partially
aligned
and all bearings
are lubricated
and sealed for life.
In
time,
however,
m
order
to
keep
your
saw
in
perfect
working
order
and accurate,
it will
be necessary
to lubricate
and
realign.
In
fact,
your
radial
saw
needs
more
of a
cleaning
than
a lubrication.
Make
sure
the
teeth
of
the
ANTIKICKBACK
pawls
are
always
sharp.
Replace
if not sharp.
LUBRICATION
Your
saw
is precision
built
and should
be kept
clean and
properly
lubricated.
Before
describing
the
various
points
which
may
periodically
require
lubrication,
IT
IS MORE
IMPORTANT
TO
FIRST
MENTION
THE
VARIOUS
POINTS
WHICH
SHOULD
NOT
BE LUBRICATED.
Do not lubricate
carriage
ball bearings
or motor
bearings
as
these
are
sealed
ball
bearings
and
require
no
added
lubrication.
Do not lubricate
between
radial
arm cap and radial
arm.
PERIODICALLY
LUBRICATE
THESE
POINTS
Use SAE
No.
10W-30
automotive
engine
oil
and refer
to
Parts
List for
locations.
Apply
a few drops
of oil along the
swivel
latch
pin and bevel
index
pin only
if the pin
has a
tendency
to stick.
Remove
the left-hand
carriage
cover and
use oil
sparingly
to
prevent
it from
getting
on the
ball
bearings or races.
A light
film
of
oil
should
be wiped
on the
face of the
column
tube
to lubricate
the fit
between
the column
tube,
and column
support.
The
thread
on
the
elevation
shaft
assembly
can
be
lubricated
through
the
oit hole
in the center
of the radial
arm cap.
CAUTION:
Excessive
oil
at
any
location
will
attract
airborne
dust particles and sawdust.
