Note: The following maintenance schedule 
assumes the saw is being used every day. 

•  Wipe down the table surface and grooves 

with a rust preventive. 

•  Clean the pitch and resin from the saw 

blade. 

•  Table surface must be kept clean and free of 

rust for best results. Apply a coat of paste 
wax to the surface to facilitate this. An 
alternative is to apply white talcum powder, 
rubbed in vigorously once a week with a 
blackboard eraser; this will fill casting pores 
and form a moisture barrier. This method 
provides a table top that is slick and allows 
rust rings to be easily wiped from the 
surface. Important also is the fact that 
talcum powder will not stain wood or mar 
finishes as wax pickup does. 

•  Clean the motor housing with compressed 

air. 

•  Wipe down the fence rails with a dry silicon 

lubricant. 

•  Keep the inside of the cabinet and trunnion 

area clean. 

•  Check for excessive play in the tilting and 

raising mechanism and in the saw arbor and 
re-adjust as required. 

•  Check for belt tension and wear. Readjust or 

replace belt as required. 

•  Grease the tilting worm gear, raising worm 

gear, castor system worm gear and the 
trunnion areas with a good grade non-
hardening grease. 

•  Check all adjustments after lubricating. 

Always be aware of the condition of your 
machine. Routinely check the condition of the 
following items and repair or replace as 
necessary: 

• Mounting 

bolts 

• Power 

switch 

• Saw

• Blade
