-50- G0501 Sliding Table Saw
To ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the blade and to the hydraulic pump, the
V-belts must be in good condition (free from
cracks, fraying and wear) and operate under
proper tension. Check the V-belts at least every 3
months; more often if the saw is used daily.
See Section 8: Service Adjustments for instruc-
tions on replacing the belts, if needed.
Always be aware of the condition of your
machine. Routinely check the condition of the fol-
lowing items and repair or replace as necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch.
• Worn or damaged blade.
• Worn or damaged blade guard.
Always disconnect
power to the machine
before performing main-
tenance. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
The bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated and
require no lubrication during their usable life.
However, your saw components will operate at
their best if the bearing surfaces are kept clean—
this is especially important for the trunnion bear-
ings.

Cleaning the Model G0501 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it. Treat all cast iron and unpainted
steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.
Once a week:
•
Clean sliding table surface and grooves.
• Clean the cast iron saw table.
• Clean the roller guideways for the sliding
table.
• Clean the aluminum rip fence and sliding
grooves.
• Clean the rip fence bracket.
Once a month:
•
Vacuum inside the motor cabinet.
