Sam777 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Good morning group, I have an EX 16 that I've had for about 1-1/2 years. When I bought it, it looked like it was never used. I use it about 6-8 hours per week. I never got a manual for it. Should I be greasing or oiling its bearings. Is there any maintenance guide specific to EX? Thanks to all Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCROLLSAW703 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 you could probably go to their website & download a manual for your saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) No you shouldn't, the bearings are sealed and greasing them will do no good. And other then the trunnions I've never seen a place on the saw, that requires grease or oil on the saw. I've owned my Ex saw for seven years, and I've never greased or oiled any part of it except for the trunnions. It has worked the very best over the years, and it's still working fine.

tonylumps Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 My EX 16 does not have sealed bearings .They are the same as the Dewalt .One day I was bored and cleaned and greased the bearings I bought the saw used I think it is about 3 or 4 YO . It did not need it. But did it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check on page 20 of the user manual you will see that the bearings are roller and sleeve .take one apart and check the condition of the sleeve .It should be fine ,but check anyway Edited September 11, 2017 by tonylumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my bearings when I see them.. worked in a bearing supply shop for 2 years as a teenager in high school.. LOL back then most wasn't made in china though.. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
