Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may result
in serious personal injury.
Sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no
lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bearings
are standard sizes, and replacements can be pur-
chased from our parts department or a bearing sup-
ply store.
For adjustment controls, an occasional “shot” of light
oil is just about all that is necessary. Wipe off any
sawdust with a clean cloth, towel or dry paint brush,
and spray on the lubricant. Do not get oil on the pul-
leys or V-belt because it could cause belt deteriora-
tion and slipping.
Lubrication
Cleaning the Model ST1000 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 unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining
lubricant after cleaning.
Cleaning
MAINTENANCE
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping the table clean after every use—this
ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain
on bare metal surfaces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
quality lubricants or surface protectants.
