Lubrication - Grizzly G0820 Owner's Manual

Lubrication

An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them. This step
is critical because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components, which makes them hard
to move. Simply adding more lubrication to built-
up grime will not result in smooth-moving parts.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/
grease solvent cleaner or mineral spirits before
applying lubrication.
All bearings are sealed and permanently lubri-
cated. Leave them alone until they need to be
replaced.
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.

To grease the blade-height trunnion, move the
blade all the way down and smear a dab of grease
into the trunnion groove shown in Figure 145,
then move the blade through its full range of
movement to spread the grease.
To grease the blade-tilt trunnions, move the slid-
ing table out of the way, open the blade guard,
then tilt the blade to 0°. From the front of the saw,
smear a dab of grease in the front of the trunnion
grooves on both sides. Now, tilt the blade to 45°
and reach inside the cabinet and smear a dab of
grease into the back of the trunnion grooves on
both sides. Tilt the blade through its full range of
movement to spread the grease.
