SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch.
• Worn or damaged cords or plugs.
• Damaged V-belts.
• Any other unsafe condition.
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust
any features of the machine while it is run-
ning. Wait until the machine is turned OFF,
unplugged, and all working parts have come
to a rest before you do anything!

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0449/G0450 is relatively
easy. From time to time vacuum wood dust off of
the internal components, especially the motor.

Lubrication

Moving parts such as chains should be lubricated
periodically with a light machine oil. Motor bear-
ings need no lubrication.
Use only adequate lubrication. Too much lubri-
cant will attract dirt and sawdust and will clog the
chain mechanism.
Pillow Bearing: Must be lubricated every 20
hours of operation. Use a high-quality, lithium-
based grease. A grease fitting (Figure 23) is
located on the top of each pillow bearing.

Gearbox: The oil in the gearbox should be
changed every 500 hours with new SAE 80W
gear oil.
