We start by cleaning the mitre saw.
Step 1: Remove dust collection bag or hose
Step 2: Blow off all sawdust, you can use a leaf blower or air can
Step 3: wipe down the whole saw with a dry microfibre cloth
Step 4: Spray regular WD 40 on the rails and let that sit for 1 minute
Step 5: Clean off the WD40. If you have any rust or corrosion, use a scrub pad or steel wool to scrub the rails adding more WD40 as needed
Step 6: Clean down the rails and the whole machine with grease remover
Step 7: Spray dry lubricant on the rails, arm pivot, bevel pivot, mitre pivot and outer blade centre. Pump / rotate each of the points around 10 times to get them well lubricated.
The best dry lube to use is a spry on graphite or PTFE based dry lubricant. Some people do use silicone based dry lubricants however the first 2 mentioned are the most recommended.
