MAINTAINING YOUR TABLE SAW

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Fig. DD

For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the

switch key. Remove the plug from the power source outlet

before maintaining or lubricating your saw.

1. Clean out all sawdust that has accumulated inside the

saw cabinet and the motor.

2. Polish the saw table with an automotive wax to keep it

clean and to make it easier to slide the workpiece.

3. Clean cutting blades with pitch and gum remover.

4. A worn, cut, or damaged power cord should be replaced

immediately.

All electrical or mechanical repairs should be attempted

only by a trained repair technician. Contact the nearest

Sears Service Center for service. Use only identical

replacement parts. Any other parts may create a hazard.

5. Use liquid dish washing detergent and water to clean all

plastic parts.

NOTE: Certain cleaning chemicals can damage plastic

parts.

6. Avoid use of cleaning chemicals or solvents, ammonia

and household detergents containing ammonia.

BLADE RAISING AND TILTING MECHANISM

(FIG. DD)

After each five hours of operation, the blade raising

mechanism and tilting mechanism should be checked for

looseness, binding, or other abnormalities.

1. With the saw disconnected from the power source,

turn the saw upside down and alternately pull upward

and downward on the motor unit.

2. Observe any movement of the motor mounting

mechanism. Looseness or play in the blade raising

screw rod (1) should be limited to 1/8" or less.

3. If excessive looseness is observed in any other part of

the blade raising mechanism or tilting mechanism,

contact your local Sears Service Center immediately.

Place a small amount of dry lubricant on the bevel gear (2).

The screw rod (1) must be kept clean and free of sawdust,

gum, pitch, and other contaminants for smooth operations.

If excessive looseness is observed in any parts of the blade

raising mechanism or tilting mechanism, contact your local

Sears Service Center immediately.

LUBRICATION

All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory

and require no additional lubrication.

On all mechanical parts of your table saw where a pivot or

threaded rod are present, lubricate using graphite or silicone.

These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust as would oil or

grease.
