Cleaning

Frequently vacuum sawdust off the machine and out of
housings and covers. This is especially important for the
internal working parts and motor. Dust build-up around
the motor is a sure way to decrease its life span.
Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the
internal parts with more than a vacuum. To do this,
remove the table top and clean the internal parts with
a citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush
or steel wool. Make sure the internal workings are dry
before using the saw again, so that wood dust will not
accumulate. If any essential lubrication is removed during
cleaning, relubricate those areas.
