Maintenance; Section 13 Maintenance - Steel City 35635 User Manual

This table saw requires very little maintenance other
than minor lubrication and cleaning. The following sec-
tions detail what will need to be done in order to assure
continued operation of your saw.
WARNING
!
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE SAW IS DISCONNECT-
ED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
LUBRICATION
The table saw has sealed lubricated bearings in the
motor housing and the arbor assembly that do not
require any additional lubrication from the operator.
Use a wire brush to clean off the worm gears and
trunnions and apply a white lithium grease to keep
them lubricated.
CLEANING
Keep the inside of the cabinet clear of saw dust and
wood chips. With the table saw unplugged, vacuum out
the inside of the cabinet or blow out the inside with an
air hose. Be sure to use air pressure no higher than
50 P.S.I. as high pressure air may damage insulation.
The tabletop is an unfinished metal surface that, over
time, will accumulate rust if not properly cared for.
When the table saw is not in use, keep a light coat of
WD-40 on the table top as this will help prevent rust
from occurring. If rust has already accumulated on the
table, use WD-40 and a fine steel wool to get rid of the
rust. Using a quality paste wax on the tabletop and
wings is a good preventative measure to help prevent
rust from forming.
WARNING
!
Be sure to wear protective eyewear and dust mask
when cleaning out the cabinet of the saw.
