WORM DRIVE GEAR LUBRICATION
Your Skilsaw tool has been properly lubricated and
is ready to use. However it is recommended that
the gears be re-lubricated only with Skilsaw lubri-
cant: No. 80111 (8 oz. tube).
Always check the oil level before using the saw.
At a minimum, the oil should be changed once a
year under heavy use, or after approximately 60
hours of use.
To check and add oil: Remove plug from power
source. Move the blade to its lowest position.
Place the saw on a flat, stable surface with the
table facing upward. Remove oil plug using the
1/2" wrench. Check to ensure that the oil is not
below the level of the threads.
To replace the oil: Place an oil catchment under
the spigot and gently tip the table saw up so that
the oil spigot is pointing down into the oil catch-
ment and the handle is facing upwards. Allow the
oil to drain out of the gear housing. Place the table
saw back level on its feet. Using an oil refill pipette,
refill oil until it reaches the bottom threads of the
housing. Do not over fill. Replace oil plug when fin-
ished. Clean off any oil on the exterior surfaces of
the tool prior to use.
NOTE: When checking the oil, if it is dirty or thick,
replace the oil plug and run the saw for one minute
to warm up the oil. Then remove oil plug and turn
saw upside down, to remove all oil. Add fresh Skil-
saw lubricant (No. 80111). With a new saw,
change the oil after the first ten hours of use.
CARBON BRUSHES
The brushes and commutator in your tool have
been engineered for many hours of dependable
service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor,
it is recommended to examine the brushes every
two to six months. The brushes should be free
from dust and dirt. Brushes should be replaced
when they have worn down to 3/16" in length. The
brushes should slide freely in and out of the hold-
ers without sticking.
