Dave Monk Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I posted previously that the bearing went out of my saw in about the first ten months. Since it was under warranty I took it to a service center to get it repaired. After two weeks they called and said it fixed. Last Wednesday I went to pick it up. Before I left I looked it over good and could tell that there was still a problem with the bottom blade holder. I was pretty upset but did my best to be nice. They told me to take the saw home and use it until they could get me a new one. It usually pays to be nice. I am so ready to get it. This one sounds like it is ready to fly apart. I better learn to lube and work on the new one. dave amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Good luck with the new one. I would take it apart as soon as you get it and lube it. Then you would know it was done right. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Kevin, you may be a firm believer in greasing the saw right out of the box. But, do you realize that doing so, will negate the warranty? If Dave had greased his saw on his own, I doubt that warranty would do anything for him. These saws come with sealed bearings, greasing them when they are new is useless. Yes, I can understand and agree with greasing them, once there is no longer any warranty. And if the saw has seen substantial use, because then there may be some wear. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
