An essential step for lubrication is cleaning the compo-
nents before lubricating them.
This step is critical because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components, which makes them hard to move.
Simply adding more grease to built-up grime will not
result in smooth moving components.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/grease
solvent cleaner.
The following are the main components that need to be
lubricated:
• Trunnion Slides and Orientation Gears
• Worm Gears, Trunnion and Bearing Housing Teeth

Clean the trunnion slides with mineral spirits and a rag,
and brush a dab of lithium grease into each groove. Move
the blade tilt back and forth to spread the grease (see
=`^li\0').
Also use a wire brush and mineral spirits to clean any
debris or grime off the orientation gears, then apply
lithium grease to the gears with a brush.

Clean away any built up grime and debris with a wire
brush and mineral spirits from the worm gears and
the teeth (see
=@^li\91) on the bearing housing and
trunnion. Then use a brush or rag to apply a thin coat of
white lithium grease to the gears and teeth.
