Maintenance; Cleaning; Lubrication - Craftsman 113.196380 Owner's Manual

General Information
When new, the saw requires no lubrication.
"llw saw has been partially aligned and all
bearings are lubricated and sealed for life. In
time, in order to keep the saw in good work-
ing order, it will be necessary to clean, lubri-
cate and re-align.
_'k WARNING
To avoid shock, burns, or lacera-
tions from accidental start up of
saw, turn power switch off and
unplug saw before doing mainte-
nance or servicing saw.
Cleaning
Periodically remove any heavy build-up of
sawdust that may accumulate on the saw.
The absorbing tendency of sawdust will
draw lubricants away from the areas where
they are needed. Wipe the carriage bearings
and track surfaces with a dry or lightly oiled
cloth.
"lb avoid motor damage due to sawdust
build-up, which interferes with nomlal
motor ventilation, vacuum the motor often.
Lubrication
Do not lubricate motor bearings, carriage
bearings, or the area between the miter lock
and the column tube. Motor and carriage
bearings are sealed and do not need added
lubrication.
Areas that should be lubricated periodically
are the bevel index pin, swivel index pin,
and colmm_ tube.
You can lubricate other points if necessary,
but only when sticking or binding occurs.
Use a small amount of SAE No. 10W30
automotive engine oil. Excess oil attracts air-
bona dust and sawdust.
