Section 6: Maintenance; Schedule; Cleaning; Lubrication - Grizzly G0459 Owner's Manual

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-belt.
• 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 G0459 is relatively easy.
From time to time, vacuum wood dust off of the
internal components, especially the motor.

Lubrication

The chain should be lubricated periodically with
a light machine oil. Motor bearings need no lubri-
cation. Use only adequate lubrication. Too much
lubricant will attract dirt and sawdust and will clog
the chain mechanism.
Pillow Block Bearing: Must be lubricated every
20 hours of operation. Use a high-quality, lithium-
based grease. A grease fitting (Figure 20) is
located on the top of each pillow block bearing.
