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,
in
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.
If they
become
dull,
