WARNING

Dry cleaning solvent P-D-680 is potentially dangerous.

Avoid repeated and prolonged breathing of vapors and

skin contact with the liquid. Do not use near open flame,

arcing equipment or other ignition sources. Always wear

eye protection and protective clothing. The flash point of

P-D-680 is 1 00 to 138 deg. F (38 to 59 deg. C).

(1) Wash all components using dry cleaning solvent (item 3, Appendix E).

(2) Clean and inspect ball bearings (1 3) as detailed in paragraph 4-9.

WARNING

Death or serious injury could occur if compressed air is

directed against the skin. Do not use compressed air for

cleaning or drying unless the pressure is/has been

reduced to 30 psi (2.11 kg/cm2) or less. When working

with compressed air always use chip guards, eye protec-

tion and other personal protective equipment.

(3) After washing, dry all components (except ball bearings) using compressed air.

(4) Visually inspect threads of four screws (1), relief fitting (8), and grease fitting (9) for damage,

replace those with damaged threads.

(5) Visually inspect tapped holes in both 900 miter housings (3) for damage. Chase threads of those

which are damaged; if this doesn't produce satisfactory results, replace housing(s).
