Regular maintenance improves safety, ensures accurate cuts, and extends the life of your table saw. We've included basic maintenance details below. Never operate the machine if an unsafe condition is present. For more detailed maintenance specific to your model, please refer to your machine's owner's manual. For your convenience, we've also included a handy maintenance checklist for you to use.

Ongoing Monitoring

To minimize the risk of injury and prevent equipment damage, check these regularly and stop the saw immediately if you notice any of the following. Correct the issue before resuming operation:

• Loose mounting bolts or arbor nut
• Loose motor or arbor pulley, pulley key, or set screw, which may cause clicking, rattling, or other unusual mechanical noises
• Damaged, cracked, or dull saw blade
• Worn, frayed, or exposed electrical wiring
• Any other condition that could compromise safe operation

Weekly Maintenance

Perform these tasks at least once per week, or more frequently in high‑use environments:

• Clean the table surface and miter slot grooves to maintain smooth, accurate workpiece travel
• Clean and protect the cast‑iron table to prevent corrosion and surface wear
• Clean the rip fence to ensure proper alignment and consistent locking

Monthly Maintenance

Schedule these checks monthly to maintain internal performance:

• Vacuum or remove dust buildup from inside the cabinet and off the motor(s)
• Inspect the drive belt, motor pulley, and arbor pulley for looseness, damage, or wear. Check belt tension and condition, and verify pulley keys and set screws are secure. Refer to your owner's manual for model-specific specifications.

Maintenance Every 6–12 Months

Depending on usage intensity, complete the following at least once per year:

• Lubricate trunnion slides 
• Lubricate the worm gear, bull gear, and leadscrew 
• Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer
