LUBRICATION
Although all Porter-Cable tools have been thoroughly lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant at the time of manufacture, check the oil level in
the gear chamber before using your saw and periodically thereafter. To check the
oil level:
1.
Remove the saw blade to prevent accidental contact when checking the oil
level.
2.
Adjust the saw for the maximum depth-of-cut and 45º bevel cut. Firmly
tighten all knobs.
3.
Connect the power to the tool. Turn the saw "ON" and run it for
approximately two minutes.
4.
Loosen the oil plug (A) Fig. 13 with the provided wrench.
5.
Remove the oil plug and seal. Set the saw on a level surface so that it rests
on points (A) and (B) Fig. 14.
6.
Gear lubricant should be level with the bottom of the hole (C) but should not
run out. If the level is low, add a small amount of lubricant (90 weight gear oil,
furnished with your saw) until it is even with the bottom of the hole.
7.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL. The pressure created by the pumping action
of the gears could force the lubricant through the seals and into the motor
chamber, causing damage to the motor.
8.
Install the oil plug and gasket.
9.
Replace the saw blade.
