Maintenance; Troubleshooting Guide - DeWalt DW713 Instruction Manual

MAINTENANCE

DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or
aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic guard. The polycar-
bonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by
certain chemicals.
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and
need no further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around
AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even
though slots are provided to allow debris to pass
through, some dust will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years
of use. To replace the brushes refer to Brushes on
page 8 or return the tool to the nearest service center
for repair. A list of service center locations is packed
with your tool.
