Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model T33296 is easy. Vacuum
excess sawdust and wipe off remaining dust with
a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin
dissolving cleaner to remove it. Extend workpiece
support rails completely and wipe surfaces clean
with a rag moistened with mineral spirits. Lightly
oil lock knob threads to prevent rust.

Inspection &
Maintenance
After long-term or heavy use the miter stand
mechanisms may wear.
To maintain safe working order and trouble-free
locking, periodically inspect all miter stand wear
points and tighten/repair/replace parts as needed.
The key areas to inspect for maintenance are as
follows:
•
Verify that rubber handle bar grips are tight
on handle bars and have no chance of slip-
ping off.
•
Inspect clamping rail handles and make cer-
tain they are undamaged and crack free.
•
Inspect foot pedal mechanism for any dam-
age, wear, broken spring, or loose fasteners.
•
Remove and inspect T-support lock knobs
for serviceable threads, then clean and oil
threads.
•
Inspect wheels axle bolts for secure lock
nuts, and apply light machine oil to wheel
axle bolts.
•
Remove from tires and skid pads any imbed-
ded staples, nails, and any other item that
may scratch floors. Replace any missing skid
pad screws.
•
Inspect and test rail locking mechanism and
lock shoe for any damage and for smooth
and easy locking. If rail locking is inadequate,
or will not lock, see Clamping Adjustment on
Page 17.
